Astronomers using the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope have captured this vivid image of NGC 6426, an ancient globular cluster in the Milky Way’s outer...
The interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS carries a chemical fingerprint unlike anything in our Solar System, and it may have formed 10 to 12 billion years ago,...
JCMT0402-0424, a dusty starburst galaxy around 11 billion light-years away, is the strongest candidate yet for the source of the high-energy neutrino event...
A fresh analysis of Type Ia supernovae overturns a controversial 2025 claim that cosmic expansion is slowing.
Type Ia supernovae are a cornerstone of modern...
A supermassive black hole 6 billion times the mass of the Sun lurks in MRG-M0138, a gravitationally lensed quiescent galaxy seen when the Universe was...
