ESA's Mars Express has revisited one of Mars's most mysterious features to clarify its composition. Its findings suggest layers of water ice stretching several kilometers below ground—the most water ever found in this part of the planet.
New research shows the early lunar crust which makes up the surface of the Moon was considerably enriched in water more than 4 billion years ago, counter to previously held understanding.
Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have detected the earliest known black hole. Located more than 13 billion light-years away, it dates to a mere 400 million years after the Big Bang.
Beta Pictoris has been revealed by many telescopes, even Hubble, to be home to the most amazing disk. Over the years the second disc was revealed.
The discovery of giant superclusters of galaxies are challenging our very understanding of the Universe.
NASA astronomers have discovered an unexpected "signal" coming from outside our galaxy, which they can't explain.
Astronomers using NASA's Hubble Space Telescope have found a rare fast radio burst (FRB). This new FRB is particularly weird because it erupted halfway across the universe, making it the farthest and most powerful example detected to date.
To this point, J0613+52 is unlike any other galaxy discovered in the universe. What we do know is that it’s an incredibly gas rich galaxy and its not demonstrating any star formation.
In a magnificent first, we finally have direct observational evidence of the stellar process that produces neutron stars and black holes.
Astronomers have made the rare discovery of a small, cold exoplanet and its massive outer companion -- shedding light on the formation of planets like Earth.
How long does planet formation take? Maybe not as long as we thought, according to new research.
A team of scientists has come up with a wild new way to visit our closest star Proxima Centauri using a swarm of tiny spacecraft.
A strange star in the Milky Way bares the signature of a unique explosion of a giant star that once existed billions of years ago in the era of the cosmic dawn.
The latest discovery of an ultra-large structure called the "Big Ring" adds to "mounting evidence" that challenges what we know about the universe.
The circles could be shells created by outflowing galactic winds, maybe from massive supernovae explosions. These extremely quick outflowing winds can be produced by massive “starburst” galaxies
