The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has unlocked the depths of interstellar space with unprecedented clarity, offering humanity a high-resolution window into the cosmos. Harnessing this newfound capability, an international team of researchers set out […]

Using NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), an international team of astronomers has detected three new hot Jupiter exoplanets orbiting three distant K dwarf stars. The finding was reported in a research paper published June […]

Virtually all space probes that explore the sun from space view our star from the ecliptic. This is the plane in which the planets orbit the sun. Although this plane is slightly tilted relative to […]

Astronomers have surveyed massive, dense star factories, unlike any found in the Milky Way, in a large number of galaxies across the local universe. The findings provide a rare glimpse into processes shaping galaxies in […]

Astronomers using data from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope have identified dozens of small galaxies that played a starring role in a cosmic makeover that transformed the early universe into the one we know today.This […]

It was a simple question asked over lunch in 1950. Enrico Fermi, the Nobel Prize-winning physicist who helped usher in the atomic age, was dining with colleagues at Los Alamos, New Mexico, when the conversation […]

Scientists analyzing data from NASA’s CODEX (Coronal Diagnostic Experiment) investigation have successfully evaluated the instrument’s first images, revealing the speed and temperature of material flowing out from the sun. These images, shared at a press […]

When a star explodes, it sends high-energy particles out in all directions. This burst of energy can travel through space for thousands of light-years, traversing solar systems and even galaxies.This post was originally published on […]

How can radio astronomers successfully identify extraterrestrial radio signals while discerning them from Earth-based radio signals? This is what a recent study published in The Astronomical Journal hopes to address as a team of researchers […]

Russian astronomers from the Sternberg Astronomical Institute (SAI) have analyzed long-term observational data of a peculiar microquasar designated SS 433. Results of the new study, published May 13 in the Physics-Uspekhi journal, deliver important insights […]
