A new data from NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope shows definitive evidence of yet another dwarf galaxy merging with the young Milky Way galaxy in the earliest phases of its evolution.
A faint ribbon of stars around a distant galaxy has become the first globular cluster stellar stream ever identified beyond the Milky Way. The breakthrough offers astronomers a new way to investigate one of the universe’s greatest mysteries.
Now astronomers from the Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics announced that – for the first time – they’ve detected three supermassive black holes in one galaxy.
Gliese 523b is a young, ultra-dense planet that orbits almost perpendicular to its star’s spin, according to a team of U.S. astronomers.
A galaxy named IC 1101 is 1.7 million light-years across – which makes it the largest galaxy known to date.
In a few rare, ancient stone formations around the world, layers can be found that scientists believe are the fossilized remnants of microbial mats – the slimy biofilms in which single-celled organisms house their colonies.
S301 is on a searing 8.7-year orbit around Sgr A* that reaches a peak velocity of more than 25,000 kilometersper second during its closest approach to the black hole.
Now, researchers have managed to successfully transmit particles of light across 62 kilometers of existing network cabling without breaking their entanglement.
Neutrinos slip straight through the surrounding gas that traps Little Red Dots. This means LRDs, though hidden from many conventional astronomical observations, could be bright sources of neutrinos.
Cosmological simulations suggested that quasars with extremely fast outflows rid their galaxy of its gas supplies, effectively shutting down the process of making stars.
A piece of SpaceX hardware that had been drifting through space since early 2025 hit the moon at high speed on the 6th of August.
Studies of the star IRS 3, located near the black hole at the centre of our galaxy, suggest that the star is emitting large quantities of gas and dust, forming an exceptionally large envelope in which water molecules have been detected.
Cosmic “bounce” model suggests the Universe expanded from an earlier contracting phase, allowing ancient black holes to survive the transition as cosmic fossils. These relics could potentially explain dark matter.
NASA’s Curiosity rover has stumbled on the largest patch of polygon-shaped ground fractures it has ever seen on Mars, a discovery that could reveal more about the planet’s watery past.
Planetary researchers have found evidence that liquid nitrogen may still be seeping up from beneath the dwarf planet’s giant glacier, Sputnik Planitia, marking the first suggested case of recently flowing liquid on Pluto’s surface.
