Unknown extremely energetic particle from space detected and named after Japanese myth. A high-energy particle falls from space to the Earth’s surface—it is not clear…
NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has detected methane in the atmosphere of the exoplanet WASP-80 b, a milestone in space exploration. This discovery, confirmed through…
Researchers using ALMA and advanced simulations have clarified the formation of multi-star systems, identifying and explaining the role of “streamers” feeding developing protostars. New observations…
The play of darkness and light in our galaxy’s crowded core is put on display like never before. A bright field of gas sweeps around…
GALAXY CRUISE, with the help of 10,000 citizen astronomers, discovers that galaxies’ star formation rate surges during collisions, as highlighted in their first scientific paper….
A groundbreaking study by University of Leeds scientists proposes that Be stars are part of triple star systems, not binary systems as previously thought. This…
Space radiation poses a significant challenge to humanity’s ambitions in space exploration, particularly in missions to the Moon and Mars. This radiation, primarily from solar…
The contrast between the James Webb Space Telescope’s observations and those of the Spitzer Space Telescope, just 15 years ago, indicate changing conditions around a…
This Hubble Picture of the Week features NGC 2814, an irregular galaxy that is located approximately 85 million light-years from Earth. In this image, which…
A telescope larger than the Earth has found a plasma rope in the Universe. Using a network of radio telescopes on Earth and in space,…
And the recovery journey involving a smashed telescope, a cougar scare, and police. Data from a NASA mission to map dark matter around galaxy clusters…
The CALET instrument has detected electrons arriving with more energy than ever recorded before. A new study using data from the CALorimetric Electron Telescope (CALET) instrument aboard…
A new study could explain the ‘missing’ exoplanets between super-Earths and sub-Neptunes. Some exoplanets seem to be losing their atmospheres and shrinking. In a new…
Using multiple observatories, astronomers directly detect tellurium in two merging neutron stars. An extraordinary burst of high-energy light in the sky has pointed astronomers to…
The universe is expanding at an accelerating rate, possibly driven by dark energy. However, the Hubble tension, a discrepancy in expansion rate measurements, challenges current…
Researchers at the New Jersey Institute of Technology have documented extraordinary, long-lasting radio emissions from a sunspot, offering new insights into solar and stellar magnetic…
Will it ever be possible for time travel to occur? Have you ever dreamed of traveling through time, like characters do in science fiction movies?…
