Haley's Coronet is at war with its neighboring dwarf galaxy, and it's a gravitational struggle the latter is bound to lose.

This week, the European Space Agency will guide its dead Aeolus wind satellite back to Earth — but not in one piece.

In a rare astronomical event, August 2023 stargazers will see two supermoons, coupled with the appearance of an elusive blue moon

Southwest Research Institute scientists are using telescopes to observe the asteroid Psyche in the infrared, providing context for NASA's upcoming Psyche mission. Dr. Stephanie Jarmak is using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to look for water signatures on the metallic surface of Psyche, while Dr. Anicia Arredondo is using...

NASA is funding eight new studies aimed at better understanding how the human body reacts to spaceflight. These studies will be done on Earth without the need

Astronomers have spotted a gigantic void they believe to be a baryon acoustic oscillation — a relic from when the universe was a fiery plasma soup

The German project aims to explore beneath Earthly ice as a test for space exploration.

The U.S. Department of Defense wants fresh ideas on how to maintain military superiority in space.

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.

ISS inhabitants sleep strapped to the wall and experience 16 sunrises a day.

"Enormous amounts of matter, similar to cosmic cannonballs, are launched into space within a very brief time span."

Soft landing achieved.

The James Webb Space Telescope has been used to observe Earendel, the most distant star ever detected.

NASA's Artemis 3 mission, set to return humans to the Moon in 2025, might not involve a crewed landing after all, an official said Tuesday.

One of the objects is a brown dwarf, which has a much more mass than a typical planet but isn't big enough to be a proper star.

Newly discovered fast magnetic waves might explain why the sun's corona is so hot.

Stars this small shouldn't make planets this big.

In 2009 a giant star 25 times more massive than the sun simply vanished. OK, it wasn't quite that simple. It underwent a period of brightening, increasing in luminosity to a million suns, just as if it was ready to explode into a supernova. But then it faded rather than exploding. And when astronomers tried to see the star using...

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

NASA astronaut Drew Feustel just joined to map its strategy.

Experts have ideas about what the cosmic question mark object spotted by the James Webb Space Telescope could be.

Researchers have used a "gravitational lens" to reveal distant galaxies. The snapshot could help astronomers better understand dark matter.

The three spacecraft will be unleashed on the moon with only high-level orders.
