NASA's Chandra X-Ray Observatory helped diagnose the cause behind a large kink in a huge filament near the center of the Milky Way.
The early Solar System was like a debris field where objects smashed into each other in cascades of collisions.
New views of TOI-421 b by JWST gives insight into how the most common type of planet in the galaxy might form.
Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have directly detected the faint glow of a planet that’s colder than any world whose light has been directly observed.
Most of the lights in the new JWST-Hubble composite image are not bright stars, but galaxies, stretching back almost as far across space-time as the beginning of the Universe.
Earth-like exoplanets might be more common throughout the Milky Way than previously believed, astronomers report in a new study.
A celestial shadow known as the Circinus West molecular cloud creeps across this image captured with fabricated Dark Energy Camera - one of the most powerful digital cameras in the world.
Whatever caused the blackout in Spain and Portugal, it highlights the vulnerabilities in some electricity grids.
Eos is a crescent-shaped molecular cloud about 300 light-years from our solar system. It resides on the edge of the Local Bubble, a huge “cavity” in space filled with gas, which is about 1,000 light-years across.
Planetary scientists research the complex asteroid Vesta which may possess the same fundamental architecture as Earth such as the crust.
Scientists have long been trying to determine how elements heavier than iron, including gold and platinum, were first created and scattered through the Universe, and new research may give us another part of the answer: magnetars.
An astronomer at Columbia University is suggesting that because life emerged so soon on Earth after its formation, it may emerge rapidly on Earth-like planets after the right conditions arise in general.
Physicist Melvin Vopson offered a new interpretation of gravity, arguing that it could be evidence that reality is a computer simulation.
The largest known structure in the Universe may be even larger than the large we thought it was.
A lonely black hole roaming the cosmos in solitude has been confirmed for the first time.
