Astronomers have flagged a distant stellar object so extreme that, on paper, it should not exist. Its mass, brightness and ...

Astronomers have performed very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) observations of a gamma-ray loud blazar known as TXS ...

Stars usually form in clusters, which can also form in pairs or groups. Binary clusters (BCs) are defined as pairs of open ...

At least some evidence suggests that NGC 2775 developed its odd shape after merging with other galaxies eons ago. While not ...

A clear look at the discovery of 40,000 near-Earth asteroids, how scientists track them, and the missions working to keep our ...

3I/ATLAS is only the third known interstellar visitor, hence the prefix “3I.” The second known interstellar body, Comet 2I/Borisov, was discovered by the Russian astronomer Gennady Borisov in August ...

The observations are the earliest yet of a supernova, revealing in detail the moment that the shockwave obliterated the star.

Humanity has always wondered where else life might exist in the universe. Astronomers now sift through vast amounts of stellar data to determine which nearby systems could hold worlds worth examining ...

The powerful coronal mass ejection would have likely destroyed the atmospheres of any potentially habitable planets nearby ...
