Cygnus X-3, an X-ray binary system located some 7,400 parsecs (24,136 light-years) in the constellation of Cygnus, represents a class of ultra-luminous...
Astronomers using the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope have spotted at least five young globular clusters within SPT 0615-JD1 (also known as the...
Astronomers using the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope have produced two outstanding images of NGC 5253, which is considered a dwarf starburst galaxy and...
These protostellar outflows are formed when jets of gas spewing from newborn stars collide with nearby gas and dust at high speeds. Typically these objects...
RCW 7 is located approximately 5,300 light-years away from Earth in the constellation of Puppis.
This Hubble image shows the nebula RCW 7. Image credit:...

With an estimated distance of 140 parsecs (457 light-years), the L-subdwarf star CWISE J124909+362116.0 (J1249+36 for short) has a total speed of at least...
Astronomers using the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope have spotted a collision of giant asteroids around Beta Pictoris, the second brightest star...
The satellite galaxy Crater II (or Crater 2) of the Milky Way is located approximately 380,000 light-years away from Earth in the constellation of Crater....
Astronomers using the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope have captured a striking image of NGC 2005, a globular cluster located 162,000 light-years away from...
This discovery was made possible by ESA’s Gaia spacecraft, which is mapping more than a billion stars throughout the Milky Way Galaxy and beyond, tracking...
Very-low-mass stars host orbiting rocky exoplanets more frequently than other types of stars. The compositions of those planets are largely unknown but...
Neutron stars typically rotate at fast speeds, taking just seconds or even a fraction of a second to fully spin on their axis. However, a neutron star...
Astronomers using the Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE) instrument on ESO’s Very Large Telescope (VLT) in Chile have imaged 177-341 W, a proplyd...
Created as part of the TESS-Keck Survey, the new catalog includes 126 strange planets beyond our Solar System, from rare worlds with extreme environments...
Using NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) and many other telescopes, two teams of astronomers have discovered a temperate, Earth-sized...
The Hubble team has released a stunning image taken by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope of the triple-star star system HP Tau.
HP Tau, a trio of dazzling...
Astronomers at MIT have discovered thee extremely ancient stars in the Milky Way’s halo, a cloud of stars that envelopes the entire main Galactic disk....
Ultracool dwarf stars are widespread in the solar neighborhood. Nevertheless, their extremely low brightness has left their planetary population largely...
