When the James Webb Space Telescope pointed its lens at the Scorpius constellation, 5,500 light years away, a breathtaking cosmic panorama gradually unfolded before humanity's eyes. In this mysterious ...

Interstellar objects like comet 3I/ATLAS, unbound to our sun, regularly visit our solar system. These objects are considered the most common macroscopic entities in the Milky Way.

Every 378 days, Saturn swings into opposition, bringing it closer, brighter, and nearly 10 times easier to observe than at ...

The anti-tail of 3I/ATLAS is particularly noteworthy because it is evident despite a less-than-ideal viewing angle, with the line of sight misaligned by only 10 degrees. This geometric factor suggests ...

3I/ATLAS, an interstellar object currently zipping through the solar system, is capturing the attention of astronomers, the public and even most of our deep space assets. Its hyperbolic orbit tells us ...

There could be a 90 percent chance that in the next decade, astronomers will spot a deep space explosion that confirms ...

The interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS, a rare visitor from outside the Solar System, might have been spewing gases for months ...

The period known as "cosmic noon," which took place roughly 2 to 3 billion years after the Big Bang, was characterized by the rapid formation of new stars and planetary systems. Naturally, objects ...

NASA's Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope will help scientists better understand our Milky Way galaxy's less sparkly ...

The Gaia space observatory helped astronomers chart 4,000 light-years worth of our home galaxy.

When the "little red dots" were first discovered in 2022, scientists thought the objects might be galaxies as mature as the Milky Way, which is about 13.6 billion years old. That's because galaxies ...
