A newly discovered jellyfish galaxy, seen as it existed 8.5 billion years ago, is challenging assumptions about conditions in the early universe. Astrophysicists at the University of Waterloo have ide ...

It was based on observations from the James Webb Space Telescope, Gemini North Telescope, and NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope ...

A "gravity hole" beneath Antarctica is offering scientists a rare glimpse into Earth's deep interior, a dynamic record of slow-moving processes that have been reshaping our planet for tens of millions ...

Deep inside the Milky Way, an invisible force is quietly holding everything together — its magnetic field. Now, researchers have created one of the most detailed maps ever of this hidden structure, ...

When you gaze up at the night sky, you’re looking back in time. Light from the stars takes years, sometimes millennia, to ...

The galaxy, cataloged as COSMOS2020-635829, was spotted in data from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) and has a redshift of z = 1.156, meaning astronomers are seeing it as it existed about 8.5 ...

This newly discovered jellyfish galaxy, named COSMOS2020-635829, has a redshift of z = 1.156, meaning astronomers are seeing it as it existed about 8.5 billion years ago. That makes it the most ...

Nasa has completed the assembly of the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope. This mission will map the universe 100 times faster than Hubble.

Dark matter is so pervasive throughout galaxies that its presence explains the stability and motion of stars in systems such as the Milky Way. For example, current models indicate that our galaxy is ...

Their observations detected two bright auroral bands near Uranus's magnetic poles, which are lopsided and tilted by nearly 60 degrees. As a result, its auroras sweep across the surface in complex ...

Hubble captures a dying star cracking open the dazzling, dust-filled Egg Nebula in a rare cosmic transformation.

Deep, multiband observations of high Galactic latitude fields are an essential tool for studying topics ranging from Galactic structure to extragalactic background radiation. The Hubble Deep Field ...
