Data from Chandra reveal that a pulsar in orbit around a massive star punched through a circumstellar disk of material, jettisoning a clump of material…
New observations from the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array reveal the most distant clouds of star-forming gas yet found in normal galaxies in the early Universe….
ESO’s La Silla and Paranal Observatories have demonstrated for the first time a link between a very long-lasting burst of gamma rays and an unusually…
Newly published research from astronomers at Cornell University suggests that there may be a new population of circumbinary planets, which orbit around more-compact binaries (with…
Using the ESO 3.6-meter telescope, an international team of astronomers has identified a planet just like Jupiter orbiting at the same distance from the Sun-like…
NASA’s Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope and other satellites have recorded a record flare from a black hole at the center of the distant galaxy 3C…
A team of scientists has discovered a black hole in the early universe that grew much faster than its host galaxy, resulting in a gigantic…
Since June 15, astronomers have been monitoring the ongoing light show detected by NASA’s Swift satellite. This new outburst is from V404 Cygni, a binary…
The first results from the Kilo-Degree Survey have been released, helping to further expand our understanding of dark matter. The first results have been released…
A new study being presented at National Astronomy Meeting in Llandudno shows that Earth-like planets orbiting other stars in the Milky Way are three times…
New research from the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics reveals that the most probable explanation for the inner gap in transition disks is the influence of…
Using NuSTAR, astronomers clearly identified five supermassive black holes that were previously elusive because of their surrounding cocoons of material. Some of the “biggest and…
Astronomers used the magnifying effect of the stars to ‘zoom in’ on galaxy PKS 1830-211, revealing very small structures in the distant galaxy. The Integral,…
For the first time a team of researchers has discovered of a ring of rocks circling a very young star. These ‘pebbles’ are believed to…
This newly released composite image shows star cluster NGC 1333, which is located roughly 780 light years from Earth. While fireworks only last a short…
