These dwarf galaxies in the Hydra cluster are baffling scientists: 'We found something we didn't expect'
"By putting together the individual results, like in a puzzle, we reconstruct the formation history of these systems."

Scientists discover smallest galaxy ever seen: 'It's like having a perfectly functional human being that's the size of a grain of rice'
"We thought they were basically all going to be fried because the entire universe turned into a vat of boiling oil."
Wobbling exoplanet hints at a hidden exomoon so massive it could redefine the word 'moon' altogether
"In our solar system, the most massive moon is Ganymede, which is still extremely small compared to what we are inferring here."
Astronomers watch monster black hole spit out a light-year-long jet
"The launch of a black hole jet has never been observed before in real-time."
NASA telescope may have found antimatter annihilating in possibly the biggest explosion since the Big Bang
It's for excellent reason this gamma-ray burst is called the "brightest of all time" or the "BOAT."
Stellar oddball: Nearby star rotates unlike any other
V889 Herculis doesn't rotate like any other star, defying stellar models.
Large Hadron Collider finds 1st evidence of the heaviest antimatter particle yet
Scientists at CERN's ALICE detector are replicating conditions found during the Big Bang, attempting to get to the bottom of how matter came to dominate over antimatter.
NASA spacecraft spots monster black hole bursting with X-rays 'releasing a hundred times more energy than we have seen elsewhere'
"This pushes our models to their limits and challenges our existing ideas about how these X-ray flashes are being generated."
Black holes snacking on small stars create particle accelerators that bombard Earth with cosmic rays
"We would like to understand the difference between these systems, which holds the clue to understand just how many cosmic rays are produced in the jets of microquasars."
The key ingredients for life on Earth came from space, new evidence suggests
'If we can understand how these materials came to be on Earth, it might give us clues to how life originated here, and how it might emerge elsewhere.'
