Astronomers have taken a significant step forward in uncovering the mysteries of the cosmic dawn. A collection of 350 radio telescopes located in the Karoo…
New research sheds light on the chemical formation of the universe. An international team of researchers stumbled upon an exploding supernova in a distant spiral…
Planetary nebulae are formed when red giant stars reach the end of their helium fuel supply and eject their outer layers, becoming hot and dense…
The fate of galaxies is determined by the initial mass distribution at the birth of a new population of stars in the diverse and vast…
The latest data from HERA improves the search for cosmic dawn radiation and tests theories of galaxy formation. An array of 350 radio telescopes located…
Recent findings indicate that a significant number of stars exhibit irregularities in their cores. Scientists have discovered a method to examine the internal workings of…
The impending demise of Kepler-1658b as it orbits its aging star offers an opportunity for scientists to gain insight into the fate of other planets…
First-of-its-kind experimental evidence contradicts traditional theories about the emission and absorption of radiation by plasmas. While solids, liquids, and gases are familiar states of matter,…
Compact, massive triple star system detected by University of Copenhagen researchers. Earlier this year, researchers revealed the discovery of an extraordinarily compact “one-of-a-kind” system of…
At the end of its life, a red supergiant star explodes in a hydrogen-rich supernova. By comparing observation results to simulation models, an international research…
New work from Carnegie’s Jonathan Gagné and the American Museum of Natural History’s Jacqueline Faherty identified nearly a thousand potential members and 31 confirmed members…
For the first time, astronomers have detected a signal from stars emerging in the early universe. Using a radio antenna not much larger than a…
An international team of astronomers led by the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy (MPIA) has made a surprising discovery about the birthplace of groups of…
Some galaxies in the universe are as much as a thousand times more luminous than our Milky Way galaxy, with most of their light being…
Dust is everywhere — not just in your attic or under your bed, but also in outer space. To astronomers, dust can be a nuisance…
Astronomers are observing star-forming regions in our galaxy with NASA’s flying telescope, the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy, SOFIA, to understand the processes and environments…
The spots on the surface of the Sun come and go with an 11-year periodicity known as the solar cycle. The solar cycle is driven…
