The James Webb Space Telescope has captured a new image of Supernova 1987A, one of the most famous exploding stars.
A newly discovered exoplanet has characteristics so peculiar that astronomers think it must have experienced a giant collision some time in its past.
The meteor from which these beads originated, known as IM1, disintegrated over the Pacific in 2014. Some of these spherules do not possess the chemical composition expected from objects in our Solar System.
Now, for the first time, we have observed a Neptune Storm with Earth-based instruments in unprecedented resolution.
NASA has awarded a contract to TransAstra to clean up space junk. One category of debris they will target is CubeSats, small satellites the size of a Rubik’s Cube. The recycling centers would allow the collected debris to be recycled.
India’s Chandrayaan-3 mission landed on the moon on Aug. 23. The Vikram lander operated for almost two weeks. After the start of lunar night the Vikram rover was put into sleep mode. Both the lander and rover have a chance of waking up again later.
U.S. astrophysicists has found via simulations that some black holes might be traveling through space at nearly one-tenth the speed of light.
Megastorms occur approximately every 20 to 30 years on Saturn and are similar to hurricanes on Earth, although significantly larger. But unlike Earth’s hurricanes, no one knows what causes megastorms in Saturn’s atmosphere.
For the first time in nearly three decades of observations, clouds seen on Neptune have all but vanished. The observations reveal a connection between Neptune's disappearing clouds and the solar cycle.
An international team of astronomers have identified a powerful magnetic field in the Wolf-Rayet star HD 45166, the exposed helium core of a star that has lost its outer layers of hydrogen.
NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has followed up on observations by the Hubble Space Telescope of the farthest star ever detected in the very distant universe, within the first billion years after the big bang.
TOI-4860b happens to orbit a tiny star, completing each lap in just 1.52 days. It joins a small number of worlds that pose a fascinating puzzle - there are currently no known formation pathways for such chonkin' planets around such small stars.
It's called Messier 57, AKA the Ring Nebula, a glowing circle of gas in the constellation of Lyra, some 2,750 light-years from Earth.
New observations of mud cracks made by NASA's Curiosity rover show that high-frequency, wet-dry cycling occurred in early Martian surface environments.
The galaxy, called JD1, is seen as it was when the universe was only 480 million years old, or 4% of its present age.
