Astronomers detected the vast tendril of gas and galaxies while studying JWST observations of an area called the Extended Groth Strip, located between the constellations Ursa Major and Boötes.
The galaxies reside in 10 areas JWST imaged within a small region known as the Extended Groth Strip, which lies near the ...
Located 205,500 light-years away in the Ursa Minor constellation, this small satellite galaxy is gravitationally bound to the Milky Way, with minimal star formation activity.

Now shining at a magnitude of around +10 in the constellation of Ursa Major, “The Great Bear,” SN 2023ixf can be found in the outskirts of one of the most beautiful galaxies in the northern ...
Also known as the cigar galaxy, it sits in the constellation Ursa Major, around 12 million light years away. It is what is known as a starburst galaxy due to its remarkably high rate of star ...
Ursa Minor and Ursa Major are home to two galaxies that look stunning in an 8-inch telescope. M81 (Bode’s galaxy) is a large spiral galaxy about 12 million light-years from Earth and is one of ...
One of Hubble’s major findings is the existence of supermassive black holes, each containing a mass over a hundred thousand times that of the Sun. Hubble also provided insights into the composition of ...
