Scientists using the Ultraviolet Spectrograph (UVS) instrument aboard NASA’s Europa Clipper spacecraft have observed 3I/ATLAS, only the third confirmed...
The newly-discovered galaxy filament spans at least 50 million light-years and resides 140 million light-years away. The galaxies are orbiting around the...
Astronomers using the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope have released a beautiful new image of part of N159, a massive star-forming cloud located about 160,000...
The new ultraviolet (UV) images from the Imaging Ultraviolet Spectrograph (IUVS) camera aboard NASA’s MAVEN (Mars Atmosphere and Volatile EvolutioN)...
Astronomers using the Green Bank Telescope (GBT) have created the large-scale maps of carbon monoxide (CO)-dark molecular gas for the star-forming complex...
As part of the Widefield ASKAP L-band Legacy All-sky Survey (WALLABY), an international team of astronomers has observed the dwarf galaxy pair NGC 4532...
White dwarfs are the dense cores left behind when stars exhaust their fuel and collapse. They are Earth-sized stellar embers weighing typically half as...
The first generation of stars (Population III) must have formed from the unenriched gas that permeated the infant Universe. These stars produced the first...
The Jovian aurorae are hundreds of times brighter than those seen on Earth, says a team of astronomers by University of Leicester’s Dr. Jonathan Nichols.
These...
Long invisible to astronomers, the newly-discovered molecular cloud is one of the largest single structures in the sky and among the closest to the Sun...
A new study by University of California, San Diego computational astrophysicist Ethan Nadler shows that star formation can occur in halos down to 10 million...
The Lyman-apha light from JADES-GS-z13-1 has taken nearly 13.47 billion years to reach us, as it dates back to just 330 million years after the Big Bang.
This...
Described in a paper that appears today in the journal Nature Astronomy, the discovery means habitable exoplanets could have started forming much earlier...
A team of planetary researchers led by Caltech has determined the chemical mechanisms by which the ancient Mars was able to sustain enough warmth in its...
Contradicting the results of several recent studies, the new findings reopen the case that Jupiter-family comets like 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko could have...
Using data from the Near-Infrared Spectrograph (NIRSpec) onboard the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers have detected carbon dioxide...
The new image of the Rosette Nebula was taken by the Dark Energy Camera (DECam), mounted on NSF’s Víctor M. Blanco 4-m telescope at Cerro Tololo Inter-American...
Mars’ water history is fundamental to understanding an evolution of Earth-like planets. Water escapes to space as atoms, and hydrogen (H) atoms escape...
Although Venus is sometimes referred to as Earth’s twin, its current surface conditions are drastically different, making it inhospitable to life. Not...
