Astronomers are uncovering new ways to study the universe’s first stars, objects too distant and faint to observe directly, by examining the ancient 21-centimeter radio signal left behind by hydrogen ...

Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), astronomers have uncovered a voraciously feeding and rapidly growing ...

A study using the Very Large Array radio telescope may have discovered a magnetic field on exoplanet YZ Ceti b. Magnetic fields protect planets from energetic particles that can strip away atmospheres ...

Although these findings from JWST are yet to be confirmed, they mark the closest astronomers have come to locating the ...

I/Atlas isn’t sending messages. We explain the viral clip, the real radio detection from water chemistry, scientist responses, and its safe 170 million mile pass.

The MSH 15-52 nebula has been captured by the Australia Telescope Compact Array and Chandra’s X-ray Telescope in this ...

Tracking down black holes at the center of dwarf galaxies has proven difficult. In part it is because they have a tendency to ...

"We really needed the sensitivity of JWST. We also needed the 100 times magnification from gravitational lensing from a ...

The trip took place in July 2024 and took 6 days. Over that time, the flying observatory looked at two main sources: the Crab ...

Astronomers have, for the first time, confirmed a colossal coronal mass ejection from a distant star, a blast so powerful it could strip the atmosphere from any nearby planet. Astronomers using the Eu ...

A research team, headed by astrophysicist Lukas Böhme at Bielefeld University, has recently uncovered new insights that ...
