Scientists will use NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope to study sections of the sky previously observed by NASA’s Great Observatories, including the Hubble Space Telescope and the Spitzer
Dust is everywhere — not just in your attic or under your bed, but also in outer space. To astronomers, dust can be a tool to study the history of our universe, galaxy, and Solar System. For ex
Signals suggest black hole emits a jet of energy proportional to the stellar material it gobbles up
A scientist has detected radio echoes of a black hole feeding on a star, suggesting black hole emits
A super-computer simulation by an international team of researchers has shown the formation of a rapidly growing star from supersonic gas streams in the early universe left over from the Big Bang. The
Citizen scientists, satellites and researchers solve the mystery of new purple lights in the sky. The lights, called STEVE, provide scientists insight into Earth’s magnetic field.
A multi-institutional team gives the cosmology community a world-class simulation to study how the universe formed.
Cosmology researchers are releasing initial findings from IllustrisTNG, their follow
Astronomers have put NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope on an Indiana Jones-type quest to uncover an ancient ‘relic galaxy’ in our own cosmic backyard.
Galaxies are not static islands of stars — they are dynamic and ever-changing, constantly on the move through the darkness of the Universe. Sometimes, as seen in this spectacular Hubble image o
The Schrödinger Equation makes an unlikely appearance at the astronomical scale
Surprisingly, a quintessential equation of quantum mechanics emerges while studying astronomical disks of orbiting ma
An international team of scientists has used the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope to study the atmosphere of the hot exoplanet WASP-39b. By combining this new data with older data they created the most
A research team released an unprecedentedly wide and sharp dark matter map based on the newly obtained imaging data by Hyper Suprime-Cam on the Subaru Telescope. The dark matter distribution is estima
