Globular clusters are ancient groups of hundreds of thousands or even millions of stars, gravitationally bound into a single structure about 100-200 light-years...
These threads of red snaking amidst dark, turbulent clouds make up a cosmic object known as SNR 0454-67.2. This tangled web is actually the remnants from...
Globular clusters are densely packed, spherical collections of several hundred thousand stars. They are among the oldest known objects in the Universe...
Two teams of astronomers have finally found the long-sought progenitor star to a Type Ic supernova by sifting through Hubble archival data.
An artist’s...
Astronomers using data from ESA’s Gaia satellite have discovered a new dwarf satellite galaxy of the Milky Way. The dwarf galaxy, named Antlia 2, is...
