Research led by Daniel Ivanov, a physics and astronomy graduate student in the Kenneth P. Dietrich School of Arts and Sciences at Pitt, uncovered a contender for one of the earliest observed spiral ...

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has uncovered a barred spiral galaxy unlike any seen before. Known as M1149-BSG-z5, it sits at a redshift of 5.1, making it the most distant barred galaxy ever ...

A research team led by Shuo Huang (NAOJ and Nagoya University) has observed a massive and extremely active barred spiral galaxy in the early universe with ALMA and the James Webb Space Telescope. They ...

A barred spiral galaxy 17 million light-years from Earth is the latest target of NASA’s most perceptive observatory. Reading time 2 minutes The Webb Space Telescope is on a tear, imaging regions of ...

A recent study published in Nature examines spectacular new data from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) that reveals the oldest and farthest spiral galaxy like our Milky Way ever discovered, ...

A sweeping barred spiral galaxy marks the spot in this image, but the real treasure is the gravitational lens in the ...

Research led by Daniel Ivanov, who earned his undergraduate degree at UMass Amherst studying under Professor of Astronomy Mauro Giavalisco and is now a physics and astronomy graduate student at the ...

For the first time, new images from the James Webb Space Telescope have revealed galaxies with stellar bars at a time when the universe was a quarter of its present age. Stellar bars are elongated ...

A delicate tracery of dust and bright star clusters threads across this image from the James Webb Space Telescope. The bright tendrils of gas and stars belong to the barred spiral galaxy NGC 5068, ...

Observations of a galaxy from an early period of the Universe’s history reveal a bar-shaped structure and gas dynamics thought not to have been possible at that time. In broad brushstrokes, galaxies ...

The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has delivered an unrivalled snapshot of the nearby barred spiral galaxy NGC 1672. This remarkable image provides a high definition view of the galaxy’s large bar, ...

Astronomers have observed a massive and extremely active barred spiral galaxy in the early Universe and found that it has important similarities and differences with modern galaxies. This improves our ...
