Some 100 light-years from the Solar System dwells the most mathematically perfect planetary system we've ever seen. The star at its center – a temperate orange dwarf called HD 110067 – is orbited by six exoplanets.
A galaxy some 750 million light-years away has been discovered hosting the heftiest pair of supermassive black holes we've ever seen.
According to data from the Hubble and James Webb Space Telescopes, the origins of the free-flying photons in the early cosmic dawn were small dwarf galaxies that flared to life, clearing the fog of murky hydrogen that filled intergalactic space.
Here's a front row seat on what it would be like to return to Earth inside a space capsule.
Astronomers have found water vapor around a young star within the constellation Taurus, 450 light-years away from Earth.
A white dwarf star that devoured at least a chunk of one of its planets has been betrayed by a scar of vaporized metal marring it surface – the tell-tale remnants of the planet that once orbited the star before spiraling into its doom.
Spanish professor argues that that water or other liquid-dwelling aliens, as well as civilizations on super-Earths, may actually be trapped on their planets due to "physical limitations".
NASA's new space telescope spotted a 13 billion-year-old galaxy that is much too complex to exist that early in the Universe.
Japan's moon lander has been put back to sleep after it surprisingly survived the freezing, two-week lunar night, the country's space agency said, with another operation attempt scheduled for later this month.
A study shows the subsurface ocean of Titan—the largest moon of Saturn—is most likely a non-habitable environment, meaning any hope of finding life in the icy world is dead in the water.
Odysseus is part of a venture between Intuitive Machines and NASA and the first American craft to land on the Moon since 1972.
Just one gram of antimatter could generate an explosion equivalent to a nuclear bomb. It's that kind of energy, some say, that could boldly take us where no one has gone before at record speed.
The gigantic galaxies we see in the Universe today, including our own Milky Way galaxy, started out far smaller.
A few years ago, astronomers uncovered one of the Milky Way's greatest secrets: an enormous, wave-shaped chain of gaseous clouds in our sun's backyard, giving birth to clusters of stars along the spiral arm of the our galaxy.
The icy dwarf planets Eris and Makemake have surfaces bearing methane ice of unknown origin. The two planets may have warm oceans.
