An international team of astronomers has created the most detailed map yet of the atmosphere of the red supergiant star Antares. The unprecedented sensitivity and…
Astronomers created a stunning new image showing stellar fireworks in star cluster G286.21+0.17. Most stars in the universe, including our Sun, were born in massive…
Observational Results Bolster Challenge to Theory A new set of precision distance measurements made with an international collection of radio telescopes have greatly increased the…
Astronomers Find Elusive Target Hiding Behind Dust Astronomers acting on a hunch have likely resolved a mystery about young, still-forming stars and regions rich in…
Blasts differ from ‘ordinary’ supernovae, gamma-ray bursts. Astronomers have found two objects that, added to a strange object discovered in 2018, constitute a new class…
In our 13.8 billion-year-old universe, most galaxies like our Milky Way form gradually, reaching their large mass relatively late. But a new discovery made with…
2I/Borisov likely formed in extremely cold environment, high amounts of carbon monoxide show. A galactic visitor entered our solar system last year – interstellar comet…
Astronomers have used the National Science Foundation’s Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) and NASA’s Spitzer Space Telescope to make the first measurement of…
Astronomers using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) have found striking orbital geometries in protoplanetary disks around binary stars. While disks orbiting the most compact binary…
ALMA sees material around two growing supermassive black holes in unprecedented detail. An international team of astronomers used the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) to…
Roughly half of the newly-discovered black holes are not at the centers of their galaxies. Astronomers seeking to learn about the mechanisms that formed massive…
Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system. It is also the brightest planet at radio frequencies. While radio astronomy often focuses on more…
Look at this new radio image covered with dots, each of which is a distant galaxy! The brightest spots are galaxies that are powered by…
Astronomers using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) have spotted the light of a massive galaxy seen only 970 million years after the Big Bang….
What happens when a black hole has a star for dinner? In this new video, Melissa Hoffman of the National Radio Astronomy Observatory takes us…
This image of the “Whale Galaxy” (NGC 4631), made with the National Science Foundation’s Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA), reveals hair-like filaments of…
From Cells To Galaxies And Beyond: Scientists in radio astronomy and medical imaging find common ground. “We are star stuff,” famous astronomer Carl Sagan once…
For the first time, astronomers using ALMA have witnessed 3D motions of gas in a planet-forming disk. At three locations in the disk around a…
