WASP-18b, a hot-Jupiter exoplanet located approximately 325 light-years from Earth, has a stratosphere that’s loaded with carbon monoxide, but has no...
For the first time, astronomers have observed the source of gravitational waves, created by the merger of two neutron stars. The cataclysmic aftermaths...
A new study in the Astronomical Journal finds that giant exoplanets with long-period orbits are more likely to be found around young stars that have a...
An international research team led by University of Exeter astronomer Dr. Tom Evans has revealed a stratosphere containing water and possibly oxides of...
Astronomers have watched as N6946-BH1, a red supergiant with a mass of 25 solar masses in the spiral galaxy NGC 6946, was likely reborn as a black hole.
