Scientists discovered radioactive stardust from an ancient supernova trapped in Antarctic ice, offering a cosmic time capsule into our solar system's journey through space. The finding helps explain how Earth collects debris from stellar explosions as we travel through interstellar clouds.
An Israeli company has unveiled the ingredients for tiny particles that could combat global warming by reflecting sunlight back into space. Stardust Solutions says its biodegradable particles, made from simple food-grade materials, could cool Earth's temperature without harming people or nature.
Scientists found ancient stardust in Antarctic ice that shows how our Solar System has been moving through interstellar clouds for tens of thousands of years. The discovery turns traditional astronomy upside down by studying the sky through what falls to Earth.
The James Webb Space Telescope captured an extraordinary view of Centaurus A, a galaxy reborn from a cosmic collision 2 billion years ago. The infrared images reveal what was hidden before: glowing clouds, graceful ribbons of stardust, and the breathtaking aftermath of galactic healing.
NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has delivered the sharpest image ever of the Egg Nebula, a cosmic wonder created by a dying star 1,000 light-years away. The stunning view reveals dramatic shadows and light sculpted by freshly ejected stardust.
Artists transformed a New York gallery into a cosmic journey using James Webb Space Telescope imagery and live electronic music. The intimate performance blended science, art, and sound into a meditation on light and the universe.
Fans can now step inside David Bowie's creative universe through a new immersive exhibition in London. "You're Not Alone" brings the Starman's musical legacy to life in an interactive experience. #
A sun-like star 1,000 light-years away is putting on a spectacular final performance, and Hubble just captured the clearest view ever of its beautiful transformation. The Egg Nebula shows us how dying stars create the building blocks for future planets and solar systems like our own.
Scientists have discovered only the second infant solar system ever confirmed, giving us a rare window into how planets are born. The finding could help solve the mystery of how our own solar system came to be.
A comet that last visited Earth during the Ice Age is putting on a brief show in pre-dawn skies through April 20. Stargazers have just days to catch this once-in-a-lifetime visitor before it disappears forever.
A telescope in Hawaii captured a breathtaking image of a dying star wrapped in a glowing, milky white sphere 1,500 light-years from Earth. The stellar finale reveals the beauty hidden in cosmic endings.
After 60 years on the sidelines, technologies that reflect sunlight to cool Earth are gaining serious momentum. Researchers worldwide are now testing and developing solar modification methods once dismissed as science fiction.
NASA's Hubble Space Telescope captured the clearest images yet of a dying star creating stunning cosmic art 1,000 light-years away. The Egg Nebula shows how stars like our Sun spread the building blocks of future planets across the universe.
The James Webb Space Telescope captured breathtaking new images of the Helix Nebula, revealing how a dying star 650 light-years away is creating the building blocks for future worlds. The detailed infrared view shows thousands of comet-like structures and gas layers that could seed new planetary systems.
Earth is drifting through a cloud of radioactive dust from an ancient exploded star, and scientists just proved it by studying ice up to 80,000 years old. The discovery gives us a new way to understand our cosmic neighborhood.
NASA's James Webb Space Telescope solved a cosmic mystery by watching a young star create and fling Earth-like minerals across space. The discovery explains how frozen comets at the edge of our solar system ended up packed with crystals that form only in extreme heat.
NASA's James Webb Space Telescope just captured a breathtaking new image of a spiral galaxy 45 million light-years away, revealing star nurseries and cosmic structures never seen this clearly before. The galaxy's tentacle-like filaments earned it a fitting nickname: the Squid Galaxy.
The Hubble Space Telescope has captured a stunning new image of the Egg Nebula, revealing intricate patterns of light and dust around a star in its final stages. Scientists are using this rare glimpse to understand how dying stars like our Sun create the building blocks for future planets.
The James Webb Space Telescope discovered what happens when two stars merge in a cosmic explosion called a red nova: they create a supermassive star that spreads carbon compounds essential for life. Scientists found these stellar collisions may have provided the raw materials that made life on Earth possible.
The James Webb Space Telescope discovered what happens when two stars collide and merge in a spectacular explosion called a luminous red nova. The cosmic crashes create supermassive stars and carbon-rich dust that may have provided the raw materials for life on Earth.
