JWST unexpectedly reveals nickel and oxygen, which are typically difficult to observe. Similar to human teenagers, teenage galaxies are awkward, experience growth spurts and enjoy…
New research suggests that large remnants of Theia, a Mars-sized object that collided with Earth to form the Moon, still exist within Earth’s mantle. These…
The striking image represents one of the most comprehensive views of the universe ever taken and reveals a vivid landscape of galaxies along with more…
Second only to the Oh-My-God particle, the newly dubbed Amaterasu particle deepens the mystery of the origin, propagation and particle physics of rare, ultra-high-energy cosmic…
Wouldn’t it be nice to have a computer answer all of the biggest questions in the universe? In his first year of graduate school, in…
The James Webb Space Telescope’s launch has enabled astronomers to observe the universe so closely that we are nearing the period when the earliest galaxies…
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…
