Astronomers have uncovered a massive hidden planet and a rare “failed star” by combining ultra-precise space data with some of the sharpest ground-based images ever taken. Using the Subaru Telescope ...
NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope got a rare look at the aftermath of two cosmic collisions — and helped scientists solve a decades-old mystery. Many years ago, scientists saw a dense, bright spot near a ...
Scientists using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope have found a unique planet in another star system that’s shaped like a lemon. The lopsided Jupiter-style planet is so bizarre that it may blur the ...
Earth isn’t a perfect sphere. The rotation of our planet causes it to bulge ever so slightly at the equator, making it about 0.3 percent wider there than from pole to pole. But that’s nothing compared ...
An unusual object orbiting a rapidly spinning star might be a new phenomenon in the universe. By Jonathan O’Callaghan Earth isn’t a perfect sphere. The rotation of our planet causes it to bulge ever ...
Every time a new planet is discovered, there is reason to celebrate. That's understandable, seeing how from the potential billions of them, we only know for sure some 6,000 exist. That being said, we ...
ESA / Webb, NASA, CSA, A. Hirschauer, M. Meixner et al. Day 17 of the 2025 Space Telescope Advent Calendar: Distant Starbursts. Last year, the James Webb Space Telescope made this observation of a ...
Exoplanet TOI-561 b is the closest of four worlds orbiting a 10-billion-year-old G-type star roughly 280 light-years from Earth. Credit: NASA / ESA / CSA / Ralf Crawford illustration NASA’s James Webb ...
Scientists using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope have observed an entirely new type of exoplanet whose atmospheric composition challenges our understanding of how this type of planet forms. This ...
It was almost 100 years ago that Clyde W. Tombaugh discovered Pluto. That was the last planet found until 1992, when humans found another one. But this new planet wasn't in our solar system—it was ...
Day 12 of the 2025 Space Telescope Advent Calendar: A Barred Spiral. This galaxy, NGC 5335, is categorized as a flocculent spiral galaxy, displaying a striking barlike structure across its center. The ...
Astronomers using the Subaru Telescope in Hawaiʻi have discovered a massive planet and a brown dwarf orbiting distant stars. The discoveries are the first results from OASIS (Observing Accelerators ...
