Elliptical galaxies are, well ... rising as Venus sinks toward the sun. Jupiter will remain above both planets, brighter than Saturn, but outshined by Venus in that southeast sky before sunrise.

Here’s how it works. Elliptical galaxies are the most abundant type of galaxies found in the universe but because of their age and dim qualities, they're frequently outshone by younger ...

A team of astrophysicists believes that the bright elliptical galaxies without a defined center are more common than swirling galaxies because of the difference in density of the environments ...

Astronomers have pulled back curtains of space dust to find a star-spangled show: a massive pair of galaxies smashing into each other to form, eventually, an even bigger elliptical galaxy ...

The majority of 'elliptical' galaxies are not spherical but disc-shaped, resembling spiral galaxies such as our own Milky Way with the gas and dust removed, new observations suggest. The majority ...

It has snapped portraits of giant planets like Jupiter and Saturn ... is in the process of merging into a single giant elliptical galaxy, reports Space.com's Elizabeth Howell.

The rapidly forming core may eventually become the heart of a mammoth galaxy similar to one of the giant elliptical galaxies seen today. Giant elliptical galaxies in the local universe are likely ...

Hubble spotted the "Hockey Stick Galaxy," named for its distinctive shape, being stretched by the gravitational forces of nearby elliptical ... Then there was Jupiter's North North Temperate ...

The last explanation is that the Jupiter could have started far away from the star and then gotten onto a very elliptical orbit — probably through gravitational interactions with other bodies in ...

My collaborators and I have just tackled one of astrophysics’ enduring mysteries: how massive elliptical galaxies can form. Now, for the first time, we have solid observational evidence that ...

It's a grand new view of M87, the first galaxy to have its supermassive black hole directly imaged. A massive elliptical galaxy has been mapped in three dimensions for the first time, revealing it ...
