The James Webb Space Telescope caught the birth of an enormous star with particle beams cutting across a stretch of interstellar space.
Though NGC 7456 looks like a modest spiral galaxy, new Hubble and XMM-Newton observations reveal a bustling system with star-forming regions and an active core.
We'll likely need to get Perseverance's samples to Earth to determine if they do indeed harbor evidence of Mars life —but the prospects of such a mission are cloudy at best.
Water may have flowed on the asteroid that birthed the space rock Ryugu a billion years after it formed, much later than previously thought, changing our perception of the early solar system.
If we slam an impactor into an asteroid in exactly the wrong spot, the space rock may pass through a "gravitational keyhole" that brings it to Earth.
NASA's Perseverance Mars rover has found yet more chemical signatures that could be associated with ancient Red Planet life — but we need to examine them here on Earth to fully understand them.
Celebrating 10 years since the first detection of gravitational waves coming from colliding black holes, LIGO has confirmed the predictions of the greatest minds in physics.
A total lunar eclipse on March 2-4, 2026, will be visible in North America and will be the last total lunar eclipse anywhere on Earth until New Year's Eve 2028-2029.
Chile is a hotspot for telescopes peering up into deep space to study structures like stars, black holes, dark matter and galaxies.
"The profile of the occultation was most consistent with it being a new satellite — a new moon — going around Quaoar."
