For the first time, astronomers have traced a fast radio burst (FRB) to the outskirts of an ancient, dead, elliptical galaxy—an unprecedented home for a phenomenon previously associated with much younger galaxies.

These FRBs, named FRB 20240209A, are located outside of the massive ancient elliptical galaxy it is associated with that only contains old and dead stars, Shah said. Using the James Webb Space ...

The Artemis program has been NASA's best chance to get "boots on the moon" again. But with the new US administration taking guidance from tech entrepreneur Elon Musk, who is focused on Mars colonization,

Exoplanets have captured the imagination of the public and scientists alike and as the search continues for more, researchers have turned their attention to the evolution of metallicity in the Milky Way.

Thirty years after the discovery of the first exoplanet, astronomers have detected more than 7,000 of them in our galaxy. But there are still billions more to be discovered. At the same time, exoplanetologists have begun to take an interest in their characteristics,

A planet that may support alien life has been discovered less than 20 light-years from Earth. The "promising" super-Earth - called HD 20794 d - may house water, according to the international research team that found it.

An exoplanet is a planet outside our solar system that usually orbits a star in our galaxy. More than 7,000 have been found in the Milky Way since the first confirmed discovery in the 1990s, and "billions more remain to be discovered", said Tech Explorist.

HD 20794 d completes its orbit just shy of two Earth years, placing it well within reach of conditions that might harbor life.

Researchers from the University of Oxford have discovered an exoplanet dubbed HD 20794 d that could have the right conditions for life.

Earth's unusual orbit through hot and cold conditions tests the limits of tolerability for any known lifeforms.

Astronomers have discovered an intriguing, potentially habitable, super-earth not far from us in cosmic terms.
