Scientists have discovered four planets orbiting Barnard's Star, the closest solitary star to Earth, located 5.96 light-years ...

At the center of most large galaxies, including our own Milky Way, sits a supermassive black hole. Interstellar gas ...

Specifically, the findings support the hypothesis that supernovae could have triggered two of the so-called "big five" mass ...

This preferred direction of spin might be due to one of two reasons: either our entire universe exists in a black hole, or ...

Astronomers have discovered four planets that are just a fraction of the mass of Earth orbiting Barnard’s Star, which is 6 ...

The Radcliffe Wave is a massive, undulating structure filled with dense clouds of gas and dust, stretching across several ...

Astronomers rely on clear observations to study celestial objects, but cosmic dust alters what we see, making stars appear ...

Astronomers have made an exciting breakthrough by discovering four sub-Earth exoplanets orbiting Barnard’s Star, our closest ...

A supercluster is usually composed of hundreds or even thousands of clusters of galaxies, and these clusters are ...

Astronomers have constructed the first detailed 3D map of the properties of cosmic dust in our home galaxy. For their map, the astronomers used 130 million spectra from ESA's Gaia mission, results ...

Astronomers have discovered two exoplanets around TOI-1453, a star about 250 light years away. These two exoplanets, a super-Earth and a sub-Neptune, are common in the galaxy, yet are absent from our ...

Previous efforts to map the galaxy's dust were challenged by limited data, but the Gaia mission has provided a treasure trove ...
