A mysterious and very distant object, in a universe as it was ‘just’ two billion years after the Big Bang, that hides from even the most advanced instruments. Its features have finally been described by a SISSA study published in The Astrophysical Journal. An…

Using a Hubble Space Telescope, NASA researchers accidentally stumbled upon a supermassive black hole leaving behind a "contrail" of newborn stars.

The Antarctic Ice Sheet, which covers an area greater than the US and Mexico combined, holds enough water to raise global sea level by more than 57 metres

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope is on a mission to find the first galaxies and stars. Scott Pelley gets an inside look at what the telescope has discovered about the universe.

"The James Webb Space Telescope has captured a new stunning image of ice giant Uranus, with almost all its faint dusty rings on display," reports CNN: The image is representative of the telescope's significant sensitivity, NASA said, as the fainter rings hav…

NASA has said that its Hubble Space Telescope accidentally captured a supermassive black hole that weighs as much as 20 million Suns. "There's an invisible monster on the loose, barreling through intergalactic space so fast that if it were in our solar system…

The first image of a black hole was captured by the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT), network of radio telescopes, on 10 April 2019.

The students said they can prove the theorem by using trigonometry and without circular reasoning.

Dr. Makenzie Lystrup became the first-ever female director of NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) this week, but it was the choreography of her swearing-in ceremony that drew her special praise.Writing on his Substack “Friendly Atheist,” Hemant Mehta pr…

A study published in Current Biology found that populations of non-native leaf-litter ants have skyrocketed in Florida in recent years — and alongside that, native populations of ants have fallen.

The study provides crucial insight into the generation of OH, a key component in atmospheric chemistry, which can help scientists mitigate air pollution more effectively.

Universe has always been an active place of merging or colliding of space objects which always intrigued astronomers

Visible every year in April — but only visiting our solar system every 200 years — mark your calendars for this month's astronomical event.

Scientists are using secondary signatures from the cosmic microwave background to map the universe’s hidden matter.

Cosmologists have a problem: Their measurements of the rate of expansion of the universe don't agree. And a new, highly accurate measurement of variable...
