Have scientists finally confirmed the existence of the first exomoon? This is what a study released on the preprint server arXiv, and accepted for publication in Astronomy & Astrophysics, hopes to address. A large international […]

A cosmological simulation study by researchers from the Shanghai Astronomical Observatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has systematically revealed, for the first time, how the interaction between dark matter and dark energy significantly influences […]

A new study led by the Yunnan Observatories of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has detected quasi-periodic oscillation (QPO) signals in an unusual gamma-ray burst (GRB) event. The findings are published in The Astrophysical Journal.This […]

Scientists have captured an exceptionally rare, high-resolution view of an active region that produced two powerful X-class solar flares—an achievement rarely possible from Earth. Using the GREGOR solar telescope in Tenerife, researchers recorded the explosive […]

Stars usually form in clusters, which can also form in pairs or groups. Binary clusters (BCs) are defined as pairs of open clusters closely associated both in position and kinematics. They provide insight into how […]

An international research team led by PD Dr. Florian Peissker at the University of Cologne has used the new observation instrument ERIS (Enhanced Resolution Imager and Spectrograph) at the Very Large Telescope (VLT) facility in […]

A first ever detection of a coronal mass ejection from a small red dwarf could have big consequences for life on any nearby planets.This post was originally published on this site

Astronomers have performed very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) observations of a gamma-ray loud blazar known as TXS 2013+370. The observations, posted November 19 on the arXiv preprint server, resulted in the detection of an exceptional […]

Using its Near-InfraRed Camera (NIRCam), NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope captured never-before-seen details of the Red Spider Nebula, a planetary nebula, in this image released on Oct. 26, 2025. NIRCam is Webb’s primary near-infrared imager, […]
