For centuries, astronomers have puzzled over the origins of one of the universe's oldest and densest stellar systems, known ...

For centuries, scientists have puzzled over globular clusters, the dense star systems that orbit galaxies without dark matter ...

Over the course of more than two decades, researchers at the University of Bern have developed the so-called "Bern model," a ...

Apples-to-apples comparisons in the distant universe are hard to come by. Whether the subject is dwarf galaxies, supermassive black holes, or “hot Jupiters,” astronomers can spend months or years ...

Interstellar object 3I/ATLAS spacecraft close flyby SwRI mission has gained global attention. Scientists propose a mission to ...

Astronomers have gained insights into star formation by capturing the first spatially resolved detection of protostellar ...

The search for dark matter requires all the best models, theories, and ideas we can throw at it. A new paper by Julia Monika Koulen, Stefano Profumo, and Nolan Smyth from the University of California ...

A bizarre planet defies cosmic norms: scientists have confirmed a giant planet orbiting in reverse around one star in a close binary system—an arrangement previously thought impossible. Using advanced ...

A team of astronomers from The Graduate University for Advanced Studies, the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan, and other universities have captured the first direct image of a young binary ...

Star formation is an intricate process that transforms vast molecular clouds into newborn stars, often accompanied by the formation of circumstellar discs composed of gas and dust. These ...

The newborn planetary system appears to be emerging 1,300 light-years away around a baby star known as HOPS-315. Planet-forming materials were first identified using NASA's James Webb Space Telescope.
