Journey to the farthest reaches of our solar system and uncover the mysteries of Sedna, a reddish dwarf planet that orbits ...

The best time to view the Milky Way in the Northern Hemisphere is from March to September. The Milky Way, our home galaxy containing 100-400 billion stars, was bright and vibrantly visible from ...

One of the primary goals of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is to detect atmospheres around exoplanets, to try to suss ...

Astronomers have uncovered a massive hidden planet and a rare “failed star” by combining ultra-precise space data with some of the sharpest ground-based images ever taken. Using the Subaru Telescope ...

PSR J2322-2650 b is pulled and stretched with a lemon-like appearance due to the immense gravity that surrounds it. The gravity is so strong that the planet cannot retain its spherical shape. Instead, ...

Jupiter-like planet 8 UMi b, named Halla, orbits its host red giant star Baekdu closely. The red giant's merger with a white ...

Our sun is about halfway through its life, which means Earth is as well. After a star exhausts its hydrogen nuclear fuel, its diameter expands more than a hundredfold, engulfing any unlucky planets in ...

Astronomers using W. M. Keck Observatory and Subaru Telescope on the Big Island’s Maunakea discovered a massive planet and a brown dwarf orbiting distant stars — two rare companions that deepen our ...

Updated models suggest only 60,000 to 250,000 Earth-like habitats may exist in the Galaxy, with far fewer capable of ...

Using JWST, scientists discovered PSR J2322-2650b — a carbon-rich, lemon-shaped exoplanet orbiting a pulsar — challenging ...

Gaia back-tracing points to 3 suspect star systems—G 137-55/54, AT Mic, and a G3V candidate. What fits, what fails.

Astronomers using W. M. Keck Observatory and Subaru Telescope on the Big Island’s Mauna Kea discovered a massive planet and a ...
