Around 500 years ago, two protostars had a perilously close encounter that blasted their stellar nursery apart. The Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter...
Astronomers using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) have observed a pair of massive, dusty galaxies seen when the Universe was only...
Using data from NASA’s SDO (Solar Dynamics Observatory) and STEREO (Solar TErrestrial RElations Observatory) missions, astronomers have detected so-called...
New observations from ESO’s Very Large Telescope have revealed stars forming in the powerful outflows in galaxies, which are driven by central supermassive...
In the search for free-floating exoplanets and brown dwarfs, astronomers using the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope have created a mosaic image of the Kleinmann-Low...
Using data from the Australia Telescope Compact Array, NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory and NuSTAR telescope, a team of astronomers has found evidence...
New observations using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) have demonstrated that A2744_YD4 — the youngest and most remote galaxy...
The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has captured this vivid image of Westerlund 1, a young super star cluster.
This image, taken with Hubble’s Wide Field...
There may be a large number of undetected giant planet-like bodies in the neighborhood of our Sun, according to a Carnegie-led team of astronomers from...
According to a team of astronomers at the University of Sheffield, UK, stars are ripped apart by supermassive black holes 100 times more often than previously...
Evidence of planetary debris surrounding a white dwarf and its substellar companion has been found by a University College London-led international team...
A University of Cambridge-led team of astronomers, using chemical elements as a proxy for stellar DNA, has assembled an evolutionary family tree of stars...
Astronomers have detected strange pulsations in the outer shell of a star called HAT-P-2, and their best guess is that a closely orbiting exoplanet causes...
Astronomers today released the largest-ever compilation of exoplanet-detecting observations made with a technique called radial velocity. They also demonstrated...
This spectacular image, captured by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope’s Advanced Camera for Surveys, shows part of the sky in the constellation of...
A team of researchers led by Vladimir Airapetian, a solar scientist at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, has developed a model that estimates the oxygen...
Astronomers have found the first evidence of the remains of a Kuiper Belt object analog scattered around a white dwarf star. The research was published...
