Using data gathered by NSF’s Gemini South telescope and the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers have detected signatures of methane...
Intracluster light is a diffuse glow of stars stripped from galaxies during a galaxy cluster’s formation.
Abell 3667 is featured in this DECam image....
New results from the DESI (Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument) Collaboration have revealed signs of a time-varying dark energy.
Two ‘fans’ corresponding...
For a century, astronomers have been studying Barnard’s star in the hope of finding planets around it. First discovered by E.E. Barnard at Yerkes Observatory...

Using the Gemini South telescope, astronomers from NSF’s NOIRLab have imaged a beautiful nebula around the young open cluster NGC 2040.
The nebula encasing...
The Antlia galaxy cluster is a group of at least 230 galaxies held together by gravity; this cluster is unusual — unlike most other galaxy clusters,...
NSF’s NOIRLab, in collaboration with ESA/Hubble, has released a collection of free, high resolution images of all 88 constellations and the largest open-source,...
The swirling spiral arms of Messier 83, one of the most prominent spiral galaxies in the night sky, display a high rate of star formation and have been...
