New 8K-resolution photos of the sun show off incredible details of raging sunspots
Advanced image restoration techniques have produced reconstructed views of the sun with an 8K image resolution for the first time.
Scientists spot high-speed galaxy collision 11 billion light-years away: ‘We hence call this system the cosmic joust’
A galactic collision 11 billion light-years away reveals how an actively feeding supermassive black hole disrupts star formation in a nearby galaxy.
The moon doesn’t have a magnetic field, so why does it have magnetic rocks?
A new simulation suggests a massive asteroid impact may have briefly supercharged the moon's magnetic field, leaving behind magnetized rocks that still carry its signature.

No, solar storms didn’t crash Spain’s internet — but here’s what they can do
'I think it is quite clear that space weather was not the cause of the dramatic power outage in Spain recently'
Astronomers want direct images of exoplanets. They may need ‘quantum-level’ tech to get them
A new device uses quantum optics to filter out starlight in real time — bringing scientists closer to directly observing Earth-like worlds.
