Astronomers have verified that variations in the chemical makeup of binary stars originate from the initial phases of their formation. Recent research using the Gemini…
A research team developed a novel “motion picture” method to measure the precession rate of the Milky Way’s warp using Cepheid variable stars. Their findings…
Astrophysicists have detected long-period gravitational waves using data from 68 pulsars, as reported by NANOGrav. This discovery, based on 15 years of data, aligns with…
New observations reveal neutron stars paired with stars like our Sun. Most stars in our universe come in pairs. While our own Sun is a…
The 2024 Perseids meteor shower, peaking on the night of August 11, promises an impressive display, though visibility may be slightly hindered by a waxing…
Observations of the youngest known core collapse supernova in the Milky Way provide insights into the conditions that lead to the formation and destruction of…
Near-infrared spectral analysis of terminator confirms differences in morning and evening atmosphere. Since the first exoplanet was discovered in 1992, thousands of planets orbiting stars…
Researchers confirmed an intermediate-mass black hole in Omega Centauri’s center, supporting theories of its origin as a distinct galaxy core merged with the Milky Way….
A new proposal seeks to change the scientific definition of a planet, which currently requires orbiting our sun. The International Astronomical Union defines a planet…
Elusive temporary star described in historical documents recreated using new computer model, shows it may have recently started generating stellar winds. A supernova remnant from…
NGC 5238, a dwarf irregular galaxy imaged by the Hubble Space Telescope, displays a complex structure despite its unassuming appearance. Located in the constellation Canes…
The galaxy SDSS1335+0728, observed by the Very Large Telescope and others, has been exhibiting unprecedented brightness changes since December 2019, likely due to the activation…
A study has shown that water-rich planetesimals formed in the cold outer reaches of the early solar system were instrumental in supplying Earth with water,…
NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope shows off a pair of intertwined galaxies in infrared light, its latest release in an ongoing run of observations. The…
Researchers used data from multiple space telescopes, including the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), to study the exoplanet LHS 1140 b, located 48 light-years away…
A University of Michigan study reveals that up to 60% of near-Earth objects may be dark comets, containing ice that might have contributed to Earth’s…
Elusive Black Hole Tucked Away in Heart of Star Cluster Black holes are the universe’s trap doors leading into an abyss. They normally come in…
