Region at centre of Messier 87 galaxy captured by the Event Horizon Telescope in motion
In a solar system called TRAPPIST-1, 40 light years from the sun, seven Earth-sized planets revolve around a cold star.
NASA's first asteroid samples fetched from deep space parachuted into the Utah desert Sunday to cap a seven-year journey.
OSIRIS-REx's samples of asteroid Bennu will land at 10:42 a.m. EDT (1442 GMT), while the spacecraft itself heads to a new target.
Astronomers using data from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope have identified carbon dioxide in a specific region on the icy surface of Jupiters moon Europa.
Expedition 69 crew members on the ISS marked a busy week with cleaning, maintenance, and experiments. Frank Rubio, Sergey Prokopyev, and Dmitri Petelin celebrated a year in space, while others contributed to diverse tasks and scientific investigations.
The German project aims to explore beneath Earthly ice as a test for space exploration.
Of all the objects in the Solar System, perhaps the most spectacular are the great comets that occasionally grace our skies. If you’ve been on social media in the past few days, you’ve probably seen articles proclaiming we have such a comet in our skies right now: C/2023 P1 (Nishimura).
Scientists studied the Squid Galaxy, Messier 77, to determine how chemicals swirl around its shrouded central black hole.
NASA is eyeing a privately built 'Apollo' space robot for continued investment — and future space missions.
The sun’s outer atmosphere is vastly hotter than its surface. Scientists may be close to figuring out why.
Planning is underway for NASA's Habitable Worlds Observatory In early August, scientists and engineers gathered in a small auditorium at Caltech to discuss how to build the first space telescope capable of detecting life on planets like Earth. The proposed mission concept, called the Habitable Worl
The curvature of space-time around a colossal mass has yielded the most detailed measurement of the cosmic distribution of dark matter yet.
Triton orbits to the beat of its own drum.
Queen’s researchers lead the discovery of two potential polar ring galaxies. A group of international astronomers, including researchers from Queen’s University, has identified two potential polar ring galaxies, according to results published on September 13 in the Monthly Notices of the Royal As
Scientists have discovered that cosmic structures grow slower than Einstein's Theory of General Relativity predicts, with dark energy playing a more dominant inhibitory role than previously thought. This finding may reshape our understanding of dark matter, dark energy, and fundamental cosmic theori
NASA's Small Bodies Assessment Group wants the agency to send spacecraft to visit the asteroid Apophis before it makes a close approach to Earth in 2029.
The decadal survey has highlighted such investigations as the effects of space on biology as being key to NASA's next 10 years and to the Artemis mission.
NASA's Lucy spacecraft provides its first glimpse of asteroid Dinkinesh. Over a span of two months, Lucy will get closer, testing its systems before a close flyby on November 1, 2023. The small dot moving against the background of stars is the first view from NASA’s Lucy spacecraft of the main be
A new investigation by an international team of astronomers using data from the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope into K2-18 b, an exoplanet 8.6 times as massive as Earth, has revealed the presence of carbon-bearing molecules including methane and carbon dioxide. The discovery adds to recent studies suggesting that K2-18 b...
Astronomers have discovered the first "bubble of galaxies," an almost unimaginably huge cosmic structure thought to be a fossilized remnant from just after the Big Bang sitting in our galactic backyard.
The decade-long concerns continue. NASA needs to be more transparent about the costs and schedules associated with its Space Launch System (SLS) moon rocket, a newly released audit has found.
Astronomers uncover details of a massive star, ASASSN-14li, devoured by a black hole, challenging previous theories and hinting at new methods for cosmic exploration.
The galaxy 9io9 is seen as it was when the cosmos was just 2.5 billion years old, making this the earliest galactic magnetic field ever observed.
Scientists have discovered six new exoplanets, taking the total to 5,502. With advancements in technology, the field of exoplanet research has grown exponentially since the first discovery in 1992, and upcoming instruments promise even deeper insights.
