How space telescopes capture distant galaxies using infrared imaging, precision optics, and astronomy technology beyond Earth's atmosphere.

A massive star 2.5 million light-years away simply vanished — and astronomers now know why. Instead of exploding in a supernova, it quietly collapsed into a black hole, shedding its outer layers in a ...

Astronomers have uncovered a distant planetary system that flips a long-standing rule of planet formation on its head. Around the small red dwarf star LHS 1903, scientists expected to find rocky ...

Views of a massive galaxy cluster Abell 2256 have been captured by NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory, ESA’s XMM-Newton and ...

An exoplanetary system about 116 light-years from Earth could flip the script on how planets form, according to researchers ...

As next-generation telescopes map this outer frontier, astronomers are bracing for discoveries that could reveal hidden planets, strange structures, and clues to the solar system’s chaotic youth.

To avoid Swift being dragged down low enough to hit Earth’s atmosphere, NASA tapped an Arizona-based startup to launch a ...

An international team of astronomers has conducted photometric and spectroscopic observations of a recently discovered ...

Astronomers have discovered a planetary system that appears to flip one of astronomy's most reliable rules on its head.

A mysterious cosmic explosion linked to gravitational waves may reveal a previously unknown type of supernova event - a ...
