Rutgers-led simulations show turbulence would freeze water rising through Europa's ice shell within hours, complicating the search for shallow, potentially habitable reservoirs near the surface.
An international team led by ISTA and University of Hawaii astronomers used JWST spectra to identify MoM-BH*-1, a black hole star radiating just 660 million years after the Big Bang.
NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has identified a third giant planet in the Beta Pictoris system, one of the most closely studied planetary systems in the galaxy. Designated Beta Pictoris d, the exoplanet is at least twice the mass of…
Astronomers have detected the first stellar-mass black hole within Omega Centauri, the Milky Way’s largest globular cluster, using more than two decades of archival data from the Hubble Space Telescope combined with near-infrared observations from the James Webb Space Telescope.…
A team led by CSIRO has measured the low-frequency radio sky as significantly brighter than the standard reference model used across radio astronomy. Observations taken at Inyarrimanha Ilgari Bundara, the CSIRO Murchison Radio-astronomy Observatory in Western Australia show that sky…
Astronomers have confirmed a new dwarf galaxy orbiting Andromeda (M31), built from as few as 46 detectable stars and estimated to be 12.5 billion years old. Designated Andromeda XXXVI, the object sits at a projected distance of roughly 119 kiloparsecs…
For decades, astronomers have suspected that our Solar System may not have always looked the way it does today. The giant planets—Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune—likely formed much closer together before gradually migrating to their current positions. Now, new research…
Located 6,500 light-years from Earth within the Eagle Nebula (M16), these towering tendrils of interstellar gas and dust are arguably the most famous structures in the cosmos. When comparing the James Webb vs Hubble Pillars of Creation images, the staggering…
NASA’s Artemis II Earth splashdown return marks the closing phase of humanity’s first crewed lunar mission in more than 50 years, as four astronauts aboard Orion prepare to re-enter Earth’s atmosphere after a successful journey around the Moon. The mission…
New theoretical and observational research suggests the universe may not be perfectly symmetric after all. A growing body of evidence points to a phenomenon known as the cosmic dipole anomaly, which implies that the large-scale universe may be slightly lopsided…
