A new image captured by the Very Large Telescope reveals stars and gas orbiting the "invisible giant" at the heart of our galaxy.

Merging black holes and neutron stars have unusual oval orbits prior to colliding and merging, which challenge the laws of physics.

Anastasios (Andy) Tzanidakis was combing through old telescope data from 2020 when he found an otherwise boring star acting very strangely. The star, named Gaia20ehk, was about 11,000 light-years from ...

Astronomers have for the first time seen the birth of a magnetar—a highly magnetized, spinning neutron star—and confirmed that it's the power source behind some of the brightest exploding stars in the ...

New high-resolution simulations reveal that stellar rotation plays a crucial role in transporting material inside red giant stars.

In December 2024, astronomers watched a star around 25 times the mass of our sun die in a blaze of glory. Located one billion light-years from Earth, SN 2024afav was a prime example of a superluminous ...

Zoom into the James Webb Space Telescope's view of a star-forming region in the Small Magellanic Cloud known as NGC 346.

Analysis reveals what appears to be a channel of hot, low-density plasma stretching out from our solar system toward distant ...

Space scientist Maggie Aderin talks telescopes, neurodiversity and being underestimated with Rowan Hooper on the New ...

A fleet of NASA space telescopes has traced a brief flash of gamma rays to a likely collision between two neutron stars, placing the violent event inside a tiny, gas-shrouded galaxy that had escaped ...

Scientists are scrambling to explain why interstellar visitor 3I/ATLAS is carrying life's chemical building blocks at concentrations never before seen, and it makes its final pass through our cosmic n ...

While city lights can hamper stargazing, there are a few prime spots in and around the Mother City to catch grand celestial sights.
