Newly Discovered “Hedgehog" Galaxy Might Be The Loneliest In The Known UniverseNGC 5068 is a fairly ordinary, if releatively close, spiral galaxy, but in looking for dwarf galaxies around it astronomers found something much more significant.

The Most Detailed Infrared Map Of Our Galaxy Has Been Released, Featuring Over 1.5 Billion ObjectsHere we see, from left to right and top to bottom: NGC 3576, NGC 6357, Messier 17, NGC 6188, Messier 22 and NGC 3603. All of them are clouds of gas and dust where stars are forming, except Messier 22, which is a very dense group of old stars. The other are wispy clouds of gas with bright stars embedded between them.

A Black Hole Is Starving Its Galaxy To Death, But Not How You ThinkIn this field GS-10578 looks like other galaxies only redder because of how fast it is moving away from us. But it's distinctive in forming no new stars because so much gas is being expelled.

Some of these galaxies are brighter than expected, but whether that is a problem or not is not so clear..

JWST Confirms More Bright Galaxies Found In The Early Universe Than ExpectedThis image shows many overlapping objects at various distances. They include foreground stars, galaxies in a galaxy cluster, and distorted background galaxies behind the galaxy cluster. The background of space is black. Thousands of small galaxies appear across the image. Their colors vary. Some are shades of orange, others are white. Most appear as fuzzy ovals, but a few have distinctive spiral arms. In front of the galaxies are several foreground stars. Most appear blue with diffraction spikes, forming eight-pointed star shapes. Some look as large as the galaxies that appear next to them. A very bright star is slightly off center. It has eight blue, long diffraction spikes. In the center of the image, between 4 o’clock and 6 o’clock in the bright star’s spikes, are several bright, white galaxies. These are members of the galaxy cluster. There are also many thin, long, orange arcs. They follow invisible concentric circles that curve around the center of the image. These are images of background galaxies that have been stretched and distorted by the foreground galaxy cluster.
