The galaxy has been nicknamed Zhúlóng, which means "Torch Dragon". It is a spiral galaxy like our own, the Milky Way. Zhúlóng also shows a clear division between its central concentration of ...

Astronomers estimate that grand-design spiral galaxies represent an important stage in galaxy evolution. The spiral structure is often associated with complex internal dynamics, influenced by ...

The Hubble telescope is yielding new clues to the evolutionary history of Andromeda, and it looks markedly different from the Milky Way's history. Without Andromeda as a proxy for spiral galaxies ...

The work yields new clues to the evolutionary history of Andromeda — and it looks markedly different from the Milky Way's history. Without Andromeda as an example of a spiral galaxy, astronomers ...

Darwin and his later followers were faced with a seeming paradox. They described evolution as a continuous, gradual change over time, but species are distinct from each other, suggesting that some ...
