The Hubble Space Telescope shows a “sparkling jewel box full of stars,” NASA says, in the central bulge of the Milky Way, with more plentiful bright blue stars in the foreground.
Thanks to a new study by a team of Spanish researchers, the oldest star in the Milky Way may have finally been discovered.
New ALMA telescope observations have uncovered the surprisingly clear chemical "fingerprints" of the complex organic molecules methanol, dimethyl ether, and methyl formate.
An international team of astronomers has produced the first detailed images of the surface of a giant star outside our solar system.
Contrary to what was expected, a team of astronomers has discovered that kilonova event has been brightening ever since it first appeared.
As our sun gets older, it's losing mass, and so its gravitational pull becomes weaker. As a result, the orbits of all the planets in our solar system are expanding.
Roughly 1300 light-years from Earth lies the Orion Nebula. A team at the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) in US created this zoom into the stellar nursery and a 3D visualization.
A new study by a team of international astronomers has provided the first direct evidence that supermassive black holes affect star formation in their galaxies.
GJ436, a red dwarf located about 33 light-years from Earth has a planet that behaves very much like a comet. And according to a recent study this planet also has a very peculiar orbit.
While examining a previously-discovered exoplanet, an international team of astronomers discovered a second Super-Earth around the star.
ALMA has revealed signs of eleven low-mass stars forming perilously close — within three light-years — to the Milky Way’s supermassive black hole, known to astronomers as Sagittarius A*.
A team working with HARPS in Chile has found that the red dwarf star Ross 128 is orbited by a low-mass exoplanet every 9.9 days. The exoplanet is expected to be with a surface temperature close to that of Earth.
An international team of researchers have found an infrequent variation in the brightness of a forming star. Its repeated behavior suggests the presence of a hidden planet.
Astronomers have made a bizarre discovery; a star that refuses to stop shining.
A Canadian-led international team of astronomers recently discovered that spots on the surface of a supergiant star are driving huge spiral structures in its stellar wind.
