An international team of astronomers from Australia, China and the United States has discovered that all galaxies rotate once every billion years, no matter...
An international group of researchers has discovered that an anomalous gamma-ray signal from Milky Way’s center comes from 10 billion-year-old stars,...
NGC 1277, a lenticular galaxy in the constellation Perseus, about 220 million light-years from us, has remained essentially unchanged for the past ten...
An international team of astronomers has announced the discovery of twelve planets orbiting nine low-mass stars. The discovery is based on data from the...
A team of U.S. astronomers has used the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope to make a new measurement of the Hubble constant, the rate at which the Universe...
Nestled in the Ophiuchus star-forming region, approximately 410 light-years from the Sun, a fascinating protoplanetary disk around the young star AS 209...
Nocturnal animals can use the stars and the Milky Way to find their way during the darkest hours, according to a new review article, published in the Proceedings...

Using data from the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), astronomers discovered that a giant stellar flare erupted from Proxima Centauri...
Astronomers have discovered that a giant star called R Sculptoris is surrounded by giant ‘clumps’ of stellar dust that are peeling away from the shedding...
Astronomers have long thought that the Andromeda Galaxy was 2-3 times the mass and size of the Milky Way, and that our own Galaxy would ultimately be engulfed...
This view, captured by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, shows a somewhat overlooked barred spiral galaxy known as NGC 1559.
