Astronomers have spied three more exoplanets. But the discovery might not last long. Each planet is in a separate solar system, and each orbits perilously…
DOE Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument passes 7.5 million measured galaxy redshifts. The Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) has cataloged more galaxies than all other previous…
We often think of supernova explosions as inevitable for large stars. Big star runs out of fuel, gravity collapses its core, and BOOM! But astronomers…
Findings by the Center for Computational Relativity and Gravitation published in Nature Astronomy. For the first time, scientists believe they have detected a merger of…
An international research team will survey the stars, star clusters, and dust that lie within 19 nearby galaxies. To understand galaxies, you have to understand…
The James Webb Space Telescope (Webb) is designed to answer fundamental questions about the Universe. One of Webb’s key science goals is to study the…
Roughly 13.8 billion years ago, our Universe was born in a massive explosion that gave rise to the first subatomic particles and the laws of…
On Monday, January 24, engineers plan to instruct NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope to complete a final correction burn that will place it into its…
An international team of scientists may have solved a key mystery about the origins of Earth’s water, after uncovering persuasive new evidence pointing to an…
Everything we see in the universe is a snapshot of the past: As light takes its time to reach our telescopes, the system we’re observing…
A team of astrophysicists has created a simulated image that shows how the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope could conduct a mega-exposure similar to but…
A new international study, led by an Australian researcher from the ARC Centre of Excellence for Gravitational Wave Discovery, searched for elusive continuous gravitational waves…
Dwarf galaxy Henize 2-10 continues to make a big impact, defying astronomers’ expectations. Black holes are often described as the monsters of the universe—tearing apart…
New research suggests alternative explanations for the massive compact object at the center of the galaxy M87 questioning if this could contain gravitomagnetic monopole. The…
READER QUESTION: My understanding is that nothing comes from nothing. For something to exist, there must be material or a component available, and for them…
With a new computational approach, SISSA researchers have been able to make the fascinating calculation. Moreover, according to their work, around 1% of the overall…
Astronomers at the University of Hawaiʻi Institute for Astronomy (IfA) are part of a team that recently discovered three planets orbiting dangerously close to stars…
