From black holes to galaxy clusters — the science of what exists beyond our solar system, sourced from the latest peer-reviewed research.
Archival Subaru Telescope images showed comet 28P/Neujmin brightening near opposition the way a high-reflectance asteroid would, despite having the surface color of a dark, low-reflectance one.
NASA's Swift Observatory confirmed a supermassive black hole shredding a star 30,000 light-years from its host galaxy's core, the most distant such event yet found.
A four-telescope composite of the Tarantula Nebula reveals up to half its hot gas is leaking out through the star-forming region's shell walls.
A new Chandra, Webb, and Hubble composite of the Tarantula Nebula helped astronomers determine that up to half its hot, stellar-wind-heated gas is escaping undetected.
A Yale-led team using the new MOTHRA telescope found 22 bow shocks in the Helix Nebula's outer halo, capturing dying-star debris being broken apart in real time.
The James Webb Space Telescope detected dust and water forming around the aging star IRS 3, located just 0.55 light-years from the Milky Way's central black hole.
ALMA observations show a 1-trillion-mile gas streamer feeding GW Orionis is aligned with the tilted outer ring of its planet-forming disk, University of Florida astronomers report.
An independent search of archival JWST imaging uncovered a previously uncatalogued gravitational arc in the massive cluster MACS J0308.9+2645, now under review for publication in a Japanese journal.
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…
