Supermassive black holes sit at the centers of most large galaxies, and they are some of the most powerful objects in the universe. Scientists believe...

Jupiter and Saturn are the two largest planets in our solar system, and both are surrounded by dozens—even hundreds—of moons. But their moon systems look...

Astronomers have discovered two unusual stellar objects that may belong to a completely new class of star remnants. These objects, nicknamed “Gandalf” and “Moon-Sized,” share...

Astronomers have discovered an extremely rare star that offers a glimpse into the earliest days of the universe. The star, named SDSS J0715-7334, is considered...

Deep inside the distant planets Uranus and Neptune, matter may exist in a bizarre form unlike anything we experience on Earth. A new study suggests...

Black holes have long puzzled scientists, especially because of a problem known as the black hole information paradox. Now, a new study suggests that the...

Astronomers have discovered an extremely rare star that offers a glimpse into the earliest days of the universe. The star, named SDSS J0715-7334, is considered...

Scientists at the Australian National University (ANU) have achieved something that sounds almost impossible: they have observed atoms existing in two places at the...

For the first time since the Apollo era, humans are preparing not just to visit the moon, but to live and work there for...

Scientists have long been fascinated by neutrinos—tiny, nearly invisible particles that pass through matter almost without a trace. They are among the most abundant particles...

Astronomers have discovered a strange giant planet that seems to break the usual rules of how planets form. Known as TOI-5205 b, this world has...

Mars is our nearest planetary neighbour and the world humans are most likely to set foot on beyond the Moon. The fourth planet from the...

It should not be surprising that Venus is dry. It is famous for its hellish conditions, with dense sulphurous clouds, rains of acid, atmospheric pressures...

Exoplanets are a fascinating astronomy topic, especially the so-called “Hot Jupiters”. They’re overheated massive worlds often found orbiting very close to their stars—hence the name. Extreme...

A rare and extremely bright nova explosion has been observed in the Small Magellanic Cloud, a small galaxy close to our own Milky Way. This...

Ever stand up too quickly and see stars? Fainting from low blood pressure can be dangerous for astronauts as well as for patients. With the 50th...

Every exoplanet discovery is an opportunity to refine models of planet formation, solar system architecture, habitable zones, and habitability itself. Each new planet injects more...
