The Dark Energy Survey (DES) is an astronomical survey designed to constrain the properties of dark energy.It uses images taken in the near-ultraviolet, visible, and near-infrared to measure the expansion of the universe using Type Ia supernovae, baryon acoustic oscillations, the number of galaxy clusters, and weak gravitational lensing.

JADES-GS-z14-0 was observed using the James Webb Space Telescope's Near-Infrared Spectrograph (NIRSpec) in 2024, [3] and it measured a redshift of 14.32. [4] Its age, size, and luminosity added to a growing body of evidence that current theories of early star and galaxy formation are incomplete.
This is a list of known galaxies within 3.8 megaparsecs (12.4 million light-years) of the Solar System, in ascending order of heliocentric distance, or the distance to the Sun. This encompasses about 50 major Local Group galaxies, and some that are members of neighboring galaxy groups , the M81 Group and the Centaurus A/M83 Group , and some ...
[8] [9] Spectroscopic observations of GLASS-z12 by the Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) in August 2022 confirmed that the galaxy has a spectroscopic redshift of 12.117 ± 0.012, making it one of the earliest and most distant galaxies ever discovered, dating back to just 350 million years after the Big Bang, 13.6 billion years ago.
UGC 6614 is a member of a small group of 3 galaxies known as [T2015] nest 100958. [T2015] nest 100958 has a velocity dispersion of 244 km/s and an estimated mass of 1.38 × 10 13 M ☉. Other members of the group incude its brightest member, NGC 3767, and CGCG 097-024. [16] The group is part of the Coma Supercluster. [17] [18] [19]
Location: Boone Pickens Stadium (Stillwater, Okla.) Oklahoma State’s 2024 season opener against South Dakota State will kick off at 1 p.m. from Boone Pickens Stadium in Stillwater.
A field galaxy is a galaxy that does not belong to a larger galaxy group or cluster and hence is gravitationally alone. Roughly 80% of all galaxies located within 5 Mpc (16 Mly) of the Milky Way are in groups or clusters of galaxies. [1] Most low-surface-brightness galaxies are field galaxies. [2]
If you've noticed a hazy horizon today, you're not alone. The lowered visibility and worsened air quality can be attributed to wildfire smoke blowing in from western areas of the U.S. and other ...
