Astronomers have detected the smallest and most solar system-like planet ever directly imaged around another star.
An observatory in Chile with the world's largest camera has published first images of star nurseries and galaxies. The Vera Rubin Observatory can detect even tiny changes in the sky, making it an ideal asteroid spotter.
A team of astronomers has made a groundbreaking discovery by detecting molecular activity in comet C/2014 UN271 (Bernardinelli-Bernstein)—the largest and second most distantly active comet ever observed from the Oort Cloud.
A new research suggests that a shift in the Earth's magnetic poles around 41,000 years ago, known as the Laschamp event, may have contributed to the extinction of Neanderthals.
A NASA mission to observe the activity of the solar wind has returned its first images of giant coronal mass ejections (CMEs) billowing out from the Sun.
About 70,000 years ago Scholz's star passed through the Oort Cloud. It may have perturbed some comets from the Oort Cloud. But we won't know for a couple of million years because that's how long it would take for a comet to reach us.
ESA's Solar Orbiter deep-space probe has made history, returning the first-ever images of the Sun's south pole.
Astronomers have created a galactic masterpiece: an ultra-detailed image that reveals previously unseen features in the Sculptor galaxy.
Smashing atomic nuclei together at mind-bending speeds recreates the fiery conditions of the early universe and scientists are finally getting a better handle on what happens next.
Today, the European Space Agency's Proba-3 mission unveils its first images of the Sun's outer atmosphere - the solar corona.
In a few days, a new satellite that can detect changes on Earth's surface down to the centimetre, in almost real time and no matter the time of day or weather conditions, is set to launch from India's Satish Dhawan Space Centre near Chennai.
The researchers posit that the volcano could have supported conditions favorable for life in the once-watery Jezero crater.
A new panorama from NASA’s 2001 Mars Odyssey orbiter shows one of the Red Planet’s biggest volcanoes, Arsia Mons, poking through a canopy of clouds just before dawn.
Unlike Earth, the Moon doesn't have much of a magnetic field – and yet, a strange pile of rocks on the far side seems mysteriously magnetized.
Astronomers have used Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) to show that more than three-quarters of the Universe's ordinary matter has been hiding in the thin gas between galaxies.
