An international team of astronomers, led by Andra Stroe from the Harvard–Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (CfA), has made significant strides in understanding the complex merging process of a nearby low-mass…

Astronomers have detected a remarkable new giant radio galaxy (GRG) with plasma jets that span 32 times the size of our Milky Way galaxy. This cosmic giant, with a span…

An international team of astronomers, led by Malte Brinch from the Technical University of Denmark, has made a groundbreaking discovery of a new compact galaxy group, designated CGG-z4, using the…

New research has introduced an intriguing alternative theory to one of cosmology’s most puzzling questions: what laid down the seeds for the formation of the universe’s large-scale structure? A team…

The Sun, an immense and powerful sphere of gas, is the driving force behind many phenomena that impact our solar system, including the behavior of charged particles in space. At…

Our Sun is often thought to be just one of many stars scattered across the Milky Way galaxy, and yet, in a rather lonely position. Unlike the countless other stars…

Astrophysicists, led by a team from Trinity College Dublin, have reached a major milestone in astrophysical research by successfully imaging a large number of exocometary belts around nearby stars. In…

Tucked away in a star-forming region of the Taurus constellation, the binary star system known as DF Tau has been drawing the attention of astronomers for all the right reasons.…

The universe is a deeply puzzling place, and one of its oldest and most fundamental mysteries is why it contains so much matter and so little antimatter. According to the…

The interaction between a planet’s atmosphere and the solar wind is fundamental to understanding its climatic conditions and space weather. On Earth, this interaction creates spectacular auroras when charged particles…

Mars, much like Earth, is divided into two hemispheres—the northern and southern halves. However, their defining characteristics are starkly different, a phenomenon referred to as the “Martian dichotomy.” The Southern…

For years, the study of Hot Jupiters—the giant planets that orbit closely to their parent stars—has yielded fundamental insights into how planetary systems evolve. These planets, often Jupiter-sized but significantly…

The nature of dark matter, an elusive and invisible substance that makes up a substantial portion of the universe, has long intrigued scientists. For decades, the most widely accepted theory…

For humans, the most important star in the universe is, of course, our sun. It provides the warmth, light, and energy necessary to sustain life on Earth, making it essential…

NASA’s Pandora mission, a new and ambitious initiative designed to explore exoplanets and their atmospheres, is now one step closer to its launch. The mission’s spacecraft bus, which provides the…

Astronomy has long been fascinated by the composition of distant star-forming regions and the complex chemistry that governs their evolution. One of the most perplexing puzzles has been the mystery…

In a groundbreaking study published in The Astrophysical Journal, a team of researchers led by Kristen McQuinn, a scientist at the Space Telescope Science Institute and an associate professor at…
