New gamma-ray observations from NASA’s Fermi Space Telescope suggest ultra-magnetic neutron stars called magnetars could be fueling superluminous supernovae,...
New simulations suggest a violent collision 11 billion years ago reshaped our Galaxy and triggered a burst of star formation.
This image from the Gemini...
NGC 1266 appears frozen between two cosmic identities, offering astronomers a close-up look at how star formation shuts down.
This Hubble image reveals...
For the first time, astronomers have directly detected how turbulent clouds of ionized gas between the stars bend and blur radio signal from a distant...
New images from the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope capture the barred spiral galaxy Messier 77 as a whirlpool of glowing dust, newborn stars and...
In today’s Universe, most galaxies are held together by orderly rotation. But among the largest, no-longer star-forming systems, many are instead dominated...
Astronomers using the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope have captured this vivid image of the spiral galaxy NGC 3137, which is located in the constellation...
The Dark Energy Camera, a powerful 570-megapixel camera mounted on NSF’s Víctor M. Blanco 4-m telescope at Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory in...
New research by Professor Enrique Gaztañaga from the University of Portsmouth and the Institute of Space Sciences in Barcelona suggests some black holes...
Astronomers using the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) on NSF’s Nicholas U. Mayall 4-m telescope have produced the largest high-resolution...
Astronomers with the Hobby-Eberly Telescope Dark Energy Experiment (HETDEX) have detected enormous hydrogen halos, called Lyman-alpha nebulae, around more...
The newly-discovered star, SDSS J0715-7334, formed in the halo of the Large Magellanic Cloud and migrated to our Milky Way Galaxy billions of years ago,...
The Hubble team has released a beautiful close-up shot of the barred spiral galaxy IC 486.
This Hubble image shows IC 486, a barred spiral galaxy some...
A new close-up of the Triangulum galaxy, captured with ESO’s Very Large Telescope (VLT), traces the tangled gas and dust that shape how stars are born...
Using a vast catalog of Sun-like stars built by ESA’s Gaia mission, astronomers have found strong evidence that our home star traveled outward with thousands...
Using NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory and other telescopes, astronomers have traced a short-duration gamma-ray burst event called GRB 230906A to a faint...
Using spectral data from the Hobby-Eberly Telescope at McDonald Observatory, astronomers have produced the most detailed 3D map yet of faint cosmic structures...
