Astronomers captured the largest image ever taken of our galaxy's chaotic center, revealing 650 light-years of swirling gas, dust, and star-forming clouds in breathtaking detail. The discovery offers clues to how galaxies like ours were born.
Scientists using the world's largest radio telescope have captured the most detailed image ever of the chaotic, star-forming center of our galaxy. The breakthrough reveals how stars are born in extreme conditions similar to the early universe.
Astronomers just completed the largest radio survey of the universe ever, revealing 13.7 million previously hidden cosmic wonders including black hole jets, colliding galaxies, and exploding stars. The breakthrough could transform our understanding of how supermassive black holes shape entire galaxies.
NASA's James Webb Space Telescope just cracked a cosmic cold case 40 million years in the making by spotting the dusty red supergiant that exploded into supernova 2025pht. The discovery explains why some of the universe's most massive stars have been hiding in plain sight.
NASA's Webb telescope just proved why aging stars seem to vanish before they explode. The answer hiding in 40 million year old light could rewrite what we know about dying stars.
An American high school student has identified 1.5 million previously unknown objects in space, earning praise from professional astronomers. The discovery showcases how young minds are contributing to breakthrough scientific research.
For the first time, astronomers have photographed a protective bubble around a young star remarkably similar to our Sun, showing what protected Earth billions of years ago. The discovery reveals how our own solar system looked in its cosmic childhood.
Astronomers discovered an almost invisible galaxy made nearly entirely of dark matter, using a clever new technique that tracks ancient star clusters instead of searching for starlight. The finding opens new doors to understanding the mysterious substance that makes up most of our universe.
NASA's Curiosity rover has spent six months exploring mysterious ridge formations on Mars that look like giant spiderwebs from space. The discovery suggests water existed on the Red Planet far longer than scientists thought, meaning ancient microbial life could have survived there much longer too.
Scientists used the Webb telescope to create the first 3D map of Uranus's upper atmosphere, revealing how the planet's sideways magnetic field creates uniquely strange auroras. The discovery helps us understand mysterious ice giant planets both in our solar system and beyond.
Scientists discovered a supermassive black hole from the early universe growing 13 times faster than physics should allow, challenging our understanding of how these cosmic giants form. The breakthrough could solve a major mystery about how black holes grew so massive so quickly after the Big Bang. ##
A rare visitor from beyond our solar system just gave scientists an incredible parting gift. As interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS exits our cosmic neighborhood, it's spraying ancient materials into space that haven't seen sunlight in billions of years.
Scientists used the James Webb Space Telescope to create the first-ever video of Uranus spinning through space, revealing dancing auroras shaped by the planet's unusual magnetic field. The breakthrough gives us an unprecedented look at one of the solar system's most mysterious atmospheres.
Astronomers discovered a puzzling solar system 116 light-years away where a rocky planet orbits farthest from its star, defying expectations and offering fresh clues about how planets come to be. This rare finding could rewrite what we know about planetary birth.
Astronomers discovered the brightest natural laser beam ever seen, created by two galaxies colliding nearly 8 billion light years away. The find opens a window into how the universe's earliest galaxies formed and merged.
Astronomers discovered a nearly invisible galaxy 300 million light-years away that's almost entirely dark matter, offering a rare glimpse into the universe's most mysterious substance. The breakthrough shows how new technology is revealing cosmic secrets once thought impossible to find.
The James Webb Space Telescope captured a stunning "cosmic jellyfish" galaxy that's rewriting what scientists thought they knew about how galaxies evolved 8.5 billion years ago. The discovery shows the early universe was far more dynamic than expected.
Astronomers discovered footage of a massive star quietly collapsing into a black hole without the usual supernova explosion, hiding in plain sight for a decade. The discovery challenges everything scientists thought they knew about how stars die.
Scientists using the James Webb Space Telescope discovered something extraordinary: a runaway black hole leaving a trail of newborn stars in its wake. This cosmic wanderer is rewriting what we know about the universe.
Two powerful space telescopes just spotted a galaxy cluster so massive and so old, it shouldn't exist according to our current understanding of the universe. The discovery could reveal secrets about how the cosmos grew up faster than anyone thought possible.
