Sometimes in science a negative result is just as important as a positive one. And sometimes data artifacts get the better of even the best space observatories. Both of those ideas seem to hold true ...

All (or at least most) astronomical eyes are on 3I/ATLAS, our most recent interstellar visitor that was discovered in early July. Given its relatively short observational window in our solar system, ...

Astronomers might have discovered a galaxy that formed extremely early in the universe, nearly 200 million years before its closest competitor, but they caution there could be other explanations too.

In this video, the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) successfully recreates Hubble's most famous image, showcasing stunning insights into the universe. Viewers will gain an understanding of the ...

Comet 3I/ATLAS is not beating the allegations that it is a supremely weird object. The fastest interstellar comet yet is also breaking records in other aspects, in particular in its outgassing of ...

A tiny blob of red light spotted at the beginning of the Universe could represent the first direct evidence for a supermassive black hole formation pathway. In a dazzling new paper, a large ...

The cosmic butterfly has also produced plenty of PAHs – large hydrocarbon molecules that could play a key early role in prebiotic chemistry. Cosmic dust particles that give birth to planets around ...
