The Young Supernova Experiment transient survey observed a red supergiant during its final 130 days leading up to a supernova explosion
An international team of scientists has published observations about the deepest part of a quasar's plasma jet, discovering the inner workings of how the jets collimate.
The quest to unravel the mystery behind the formation of the first quasars in the early universe has taken a significant step forward.
As the supersonic solar wind surges towards Earth, its interaction with our planet's magnetic field creates a shock to deflect its flow, and a foreshock filled with electromagnetic waves. How these waves can propagate to the other side of the shock has long remained a mystery.
Called a “treasure trove of data” for planetary scientists, the study is the largest ever published on radar observations of near-Earth asteroids.
When the comet 17P/Holmes orbiting the Sun between Mars and Jupiter burst out, it spread a vast number of particles on its trail. Academic project leader Maria Gritsevich is involved in multinational research that found out the comet´s trail resembles a gigantic hourglass.
A team of astronomers from the University of Missouri has found 87 galaxies that could be the earliest known galaxies in the universe, according to a recent article published in the Astrophysical Journal Letters.
Astronomer Megan Reiter and her team from Rice University used the James Webb Space Telescope to study a cluster of stars called NGC 3324 and have discovered two dozen previously unseen young stars about 7,500 light years from Earth.
Is there life on Venus? For more than a century, scientists have pondered this question. Now, there is renewed interest in Venus as a place that could support living organisms.
An international team of researchers led by Charles Cadieux, a Ph.D. student at the Université de Montréal and member of the Institute for Research on Exoplanets (iREx), has announced the discovery of TOI-1452 b,
In a remarkable display of its precision and accuracy, the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), a collaboration between NASA, the European Space Agency, and the Canadian Space Agency,
Astronomers have long sought the launch sites for some of the highest energy protons in our galaxy. Now, a study using 12 years of data from NASA’s Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope confirms that a remnant of a supernova, or star explosion, is just such a place, solving a decade-long cosmic mystery.
Two dwarf galaxies circling our Milky Way, the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds, are losing a trail of gaseous debris called the Magellanic Stream. New research shows that a shield of warm gas is protecting the Magellanic Clouds from losing even more debris — a conclusion that caps decades of investigation, theorizing and meticulous data-hunting by astronomers working and training at the University of Wisconsin–Madison.
A huge flash of radiation from an explosion outside our galaxy that reached Earth on Oct. 9 went into the record books as the BOAT — the brightest of all time.
Astronomers have observed flows of cold gas feeding the formation of stars in a multiple-protostar system
Researchers from the University of Michigan and Johannes Gutenberg University of Mainz have proposed a new model for dark matter particles called HighlY Interactive ParticlE Relics or HYPER, a news release said.
Researchers at the University of Michigan's Department of Astronomy believe a new study has provided insight into the chemistry behind planet formation.
These in-between regions could be prime sites for liquid water
Mosaic images from the COSMOS-Web program offer a treasure trove of early galaxies
Astronomers from the University of Exeter have led the effort to capture the first-ever direct image of an exoplanet using the pioneering James Webb Space Telescope.
