Our own planet represents a tiny fraction of the peculiar phenomena that can be found lurking throughout the cosmos, and ...

Have you ever wondered why, with the vastness of the universe and the countless exoplanets we've discovered, there's still no ...

About 50 light-years from Earth, a gas giant about half the mass of Jupiter orbits a sunlike star. The discovery of Pegasi 51 b ushered in a new era of exoplanet research.

Astronomers from the International Centre of Radio Astronomy Research (ICRAR) have released an incredible image of the Milky Way shining in low-frequency radio light, revealing a spectacular realm ...

Astronomers have captured a haunting image of a “cosmic bat” spreading its wings across deep space. This nebula, 10,000 light-years away, glows crimson as newborn stars ignite clouds of gas and dust.

For most of its journey 3I/ATLAS has been frozen solid, but the warming rays of our Sun are enough to unfreeze some of its gases such as carbon dioxide, generating a faint cometary tail. For a period ...

This was a revolutionary idea at the time, and it wasn't until astronomer Edwin Hubble's observations in the 1920s that it was confirmed. Einstein's theory changed our entire conception of the cosmos.

NASA has long been a driving force in the pursuit of knowledge about space, technology, and the Earth itself. Founded with the mission to explore outer space, the agency has continually pushed the ...

The cosmos never ceases to amaze, and the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS is the latest celestial body to capture the attention of scientists and enthusiasts alike. As it made its closest approach to the ...

Comets are fascinating cosmic phenomena composed of a mixture of frozen gases, dust, and rock. When they approach a star, the intense heat causes their icy surfaces to vaporize, forming a bright coma ...
