After nearly two decades of observations, astronomers have discovered that a distant blazar behaves in ways that leading theories struggle to explain. Instead of solving...

Scientists may have found the strongest evidence yet for one of the strangest predictions in quantum physics—a theory first proposed nearly 90 years ago. By...

Scientists have found a way to improve the performance of 3D-printed aluminum bronze, a metal that could be useful for cooling powerful electronic components...

One of the biggest mysteries revealed by the James Webb Space Telescope may finally have a promising explanation. Astronomers believe that the strange objects known...

Pluto may be far colder than any place on Earth, but scientists have discovered evidence that something surprising may still be moving beneath its...

Astronomers have captured one of the rarest events in the universe—the very first moments of a massive star exploding. The discovery has given scientists an...

For many years, scientists believed Venus was a dead world with little or no geological activity. Although it is Earth's closest planetary neighbor, Venus...

Scientists may have detected the first signs that Pluto's thin atmosphere is beginning to collapse as the dwarf planet slowly travels farther from the...

Young stars do much more than simply light up the night sky. According to new research, they begin changing the future of their entire galaxies...

Astronomers have uncovered remarkable new evidence of a rare "missing-link" black hole after detecting a powerful burst of radio waves that continued growing brighter...

Astronomers have achieved a major breakthrough by detecting a hidden magnetic signal from one of the most powerful explosions in the universe. Using the U.S....

Researchers have discovered that powerful winds from supermassive black holes can significantly influence the development of surrounding galaxies. A team led by University of Wisconsin–Madison...

13.5 billion light-years away, it may be home to the oldest stars in the universe. The most distant galaxy on record has been spotted by...

Astronomers have long believed that planet-forming disks—clouds of gas and dust around young stars—last only about 10 million years before disappearing. But new observations using...

The farthest, most primitive object in the solar system ever to be visited by a spacecraft — a bi-lobed Kuiper Belt object known as...
