Astronomers used NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope to discover 14 transient objects in the “Christmas Tree Galaxy Cluster,” MACS0416, about 4.3 billion light-years away. Transients,…
A new study reveals that the star S0-6, located near the Milky Way’s central black hole, originated from an external galaxy, reshaping our understanding of…
Ariel, ESA’s mission to identify the chemical elements in exoplanetary atmospheres, successfully passed the spacecraft preliminary design phase and now moves from the ‘drawing board’…
Dark matter is fundamental to our understanding of the Universe, yet its exact nature remains a mystery. Uncovering the identity of dark matter is a…
Researchers at Penn State have discovered an unusually massive planet, LHS 3154b, orbiting an ultracool dwarf star. This finding, contradicting current theories, prompts a reassessment…
The satellites are part of the agency’s SunRISE mission, which will study the physics behind explosions that the Sun generates. Most NASA missions feature one…
A radical theory that consistently unifies gravity and quantum mechanics while preserving Einstein’s classical concept of spacetime is announced today in two papers published simultaneously…
The James Webb Space Telescope’s discovery of AzTECC71, a dusty star-forming galaxy from the early universe, challenges previous assumptions about galaxy prevalence and composition, offering…
Studying “teenage galaxies” from the ancient universe can teach scientists about how these massive systems of stars mature and evolve. Galaxies that formed just 2…
