Researchers may have found the long-sought “nanoflares” thought to heat the solar corona to its incredible temperatures. A new study published in Nature Astronomy marks…
An international research team led by the University of Bern has discovered an exotic binary system composed of two young planet-like objects, orbiting around each…
Orbiting Instrument Offers Scientists the Lowdown on Sun’s Super-Hot Atmosphere A phenomenon first detected in the solar wind may help solve a long-standing mystery about…
Stellar Flares With a Chance of Radio Bursts: The Weather From Proxima Centauri A discovery that links stellar flares with radio-burst signatures will make it…
Researchers from the University of Kansas have described a galaxy more than 5.25 billion light-years away undergoing a rarely seen stage in its galactic life…
The stars are constantly moving across the sky. Known as proper motion, this motion is imperceptible to the unaided eye but is being measured with…
Simulations by University of Warwick astrophysicists show that interactions with giant planets could result in protoplanetary discs that look older than they should Massive young…
New research shows that sunspots and other active regions can change the overall solar emissions. The sunspots cause some emissions to dim and others to…
Neutrinos Yield First Experimental Evidence of Catalyzed Fusion Dominant in Many Stars An international team of about 100 scientists of the Borexino Collaboration, including particle…
The astronomers from Toruń have successfully completed the survey of the Milky Way plane. They searched for gas clouds, where there was a maser reinforcement…
The Blue Ring Nebula, which perplexed scientists for over a decade, appears to be the youngest known example of two stars merged into one. In…
By studying the site of a spectacular stellar explosion seen in April 2020, a Chalmers-led team of scientists have used four European radio telescopes to…
Neutron-Star Collision Releases Puzzling Burst of Infrared Light In our infinite universe, stars can go bump in the night. When this happens between a pair…
A research team led by Prof. SHANG Zhaohui from National Astronomical Observatories of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (NAOC) has proved that Dome A in…
Planetary habitability, defined by a planet’s ability to sustain liquid water on its surface, is one of the most important concepts in exoplanet science. Exoplanets…
A new method for verifying a widely held but unproven theoretical explanation of the formation of stars and planets has been proposed by researchers at…
The fast radio bursts are likely generated by a magnetar, the most magnetic type of star in the universe. Fast radio bursts are extremely bright…
Hubble Launches Large Ultraviolet-Light Survey of Nearby Stars Hundreds of stars in the Milky Way and nearby galaxies are being surveyed to build an…
