Saul Hernandez, a New Mexico State University senior studying physics and linguistics with a minor in astronomy, has turned recycled materials into a backyard radio telescope capable of detecting the ...

Gravitational lensing exposed a distant protocluster once seen as a faint smudge, revealing eleven dusty star-forming galaxies through combined ALMA and NSF VLA observations.

The Milky Way’s centre looks nothing like the calm band of starlight you see from a dark hillside. In a new, ultra-wide radio mosaic, the region turns into a tangle of cold, threadlike gas structures.

Many know Bucky the Beaver as the friendly Buc-ee's mascot, always there with a permanent grin and willing to take pictures with fans. But it's important to remember that beavers have a territorial ...

A stronomers report the discovery of a truly incredible object. They are calling it Candidate Dark Galaxy-2 (CDG-2), a ...

Deep inside a dust-choked galaxy, astronomers have uncovered a chemical environment far more complex than expected.

Astronomers have produced the largest and most detailed map ever made of the vast web of cold cosmic gas stretching across the heart of our galaxy, showing thread-like filaments resembling rivers of ...

New analysis suggests Webb’s little red dots are young black holes hidden in thick gas, with masses far smaller than first thought.

“The Euclid data clearly confirm the presence of the extremely faint, diffuse light of CDG-2, revealing the galaxy behind the ...

One third of the galaxy’s entire stellar output is locked away in just a few dense balls of stars. The rest is just a thin, cold “field” of stars barely clinging to existence. It is, for all intents ...

The heart of the Milky Way has just been revealed in the most detailed ALMA mosaic ever created. Astronomers captured over 650 light-years of cold gas, dust and star-forming filaments surrounding our ...
