Skywatchers in Chelsea, Canada are treated to a stunning aurora display that has a little something extra.
Astronomers unveiled the James Webb Space Telescope's largest view yet of the early universe in a richly detailed catalog of nearly 800,000 galaxies.
Spica is a binary star system located 250 light-years from Earth in the constellation Virgo.
Astronomers discovered a new class of cosmic explosions known as "extreme nuclear transients" that are the most powerful phenomena known, aside from the Big Bang.
The discovery of a Saturn-sized gas giant orbiting a small red dwarf is urging astronomers to reconsider their theories of planet formation. Typically, astronomers find larger planets around larger stars, but this discovery breaks that connection. The finding puts pressure on the core-accretion theory, the leading explanation for planet formation.
The main trailer for FX's Alien: Earth has Xenomorphs, a synthetic-human hybrid, and some new extra-terrestrial creatures we weren't expecting.
The spiral galaxy NGC 5907 is positioned edge-on to Earth.
A neutron star's final moments may spark violent starquakes, monster shock waves, and even a fleeting, never-before-seen object called a black hole pulsar.
Image: A thick plume of sand and dust from the Sahara Desert is seen in these satellite images blowing from the west coast of Africa across the Atlantic Ocean.
On 31 May, a live performance of The Blue Danube – often referred to as the ‘anthem of space’ – was transmitted by the European Space Agency (ESA) into the vastness of space. The event marked a double celebration: ESA’s 50th anniversary and the 200th birthday of the King of Waltz Johann Strauss II.
A potentially hazardous asteroid roughly the size of an aircraft carrier is due to pass within 2.8 million miles (3.5 million km) of Earth on June 5 and you can watch it happen live online.
Aurora chasers, keep your eyes on the skies as we might be in for another show this weekend, albeit slightly smaller than the performances earlier this week.
The Meteosat Third Generation Sounder satellite (MTG-S) will generate a completely new type of data product, especially suited to nowcasting severe weather events. Here are five ways in which Europe’s latest weather satellite will change how we forecast weather.
Mikael Genberg discusses his "Moonhouse" project, which is about to land a tiny replica of the iconic red-and-white Swedish house on Earth's nearest neighbor.
Before diving into their collision, it's worth understanding just how extreme these objects are. A black hole is a region of space where gravity is so strong that nothing, not even light can escape once it crosses the "event horizon." Black holes form when the most massive stars collapse at the end of their lives, creating a point of infinite density surrounded by this inescapable boundary.
The European Space Agency’s (ESA) newest planetary defender has opened its ‘eye’ to the cosmos for the first time. The Flyeye telescope’s ‘first light’ marks the beginning of a new chapter in how we scan the skies for new near-Earth asteroids and comets.
New research suggests that the largest magnetic fields in the universe originated through some exotic mechanism that absolutely soaked the early cosmos.
The Hubble Tension is perhaps, one of the most frustratingly unresolved mysteries in cosmology. Here's the problem: when astronomers measure how fast the universe is expanding today using nearby stars, they get one answer. When it's calculated from the afterglow of the Big Bang—the cosmic microwave background—there is a completely different number. The gap between these measurements has persisted for over a decade, surviving countless attempts to explain it away as experimental error. Either the instruments are systematically wrong, or something fundamental about the universe's evolution is missing from our models.
A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket lifted off from Vandenberg Space Force Base this evening (June 4), carrying 27 Starlink satellites for the company's growing wireless internet constellation.
When the New Horizons spacecraft swept past Pluto and Charon in 2015, it revealed two amazingly complex worlds and an active atmosphere on Pluto. Those snapshots redefined our understanding of the system. Now, new observations using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) taken in 2022 and 2023, show that Pluto's atmosphere is completely different from any other one in the Solar System. For one thing, it contains haze particles that rise and fall as they are heated and cooled.
