Mini-spiral galaxies may transform how dark matter is perceived
...matter and dark energy. Mini-spiral galaxies are as the name suggests - spiral galaxies that look similar to our ...new kind of physics," continues Salucci. "Even in the largest spiral galaxies we find effects similar to the ones we observed, but they ...

Astronomers detect a rare type of object known as a spiral DRAGN
...be the case. However in recent years, a handful of DRAGNs have been found in spiral galaxies and this is somewhat puzzling for those studying galaxy evolution. Spiral galaxies cannot undergo a major merger without evolving into another structure, and...

First-ever photo proof of powerful jet emerging from colliding galaxies
... light. Furthermore, scientists had previously discovered that these jets could be found in elliptical-shaped galaxies, which can be formed in the merging of two spiral galaxies. Now, they have an image showing the formation of a jet from two younger...

New study challenges the assumption that the Universe doesn't spin
... rotating. But now, a new study on the analysis of more than 200,000 spiral galaxies, contradicts this previously held assumption. Spiral galaxies are a unique astronomical objects because their visual appearance depends on the observer's perspective...

Distant Milky Way look-alike is a breakthrough in the field of galaxy formation
... the team. Even though SPT0418-47 has a disc and other features similar to those of spiral galaxies we see today, they expect it to evolve into a galaxy very different from the Milky Way. SPT0418-47 is predicted to join the class of elliptical...

High-Energy X-rays show Andromeda Galaxy in a different light
... Andromeda studies. Andromeda, also known as M31, is a spiral galaxy like our own, but is slightly larger in size and at ... in dark, clear skies. "Andromeda is the only large spiral galaxy where we can see individual X-ray binaries and study them ...
