The James Webb Space Telescope's images of spiral galaxies are stunning, and there's compelling science behind them.

Scientists detected a cloud of gas sculpted into a wonky tadpole shape near the Milky Way's center, possibly pointing to a rare intermediate-mass black hole.

Now I can finally connect the dots.

Geomagnetic storms caused by bursts of plasma arriving from the sun have delivered a night of aurora spectacle to skywatchers in Canada, northern U.S. and Europe.

Scientists have discovered what appears to be the world’s biggest penguin species known to have swum Earth’s oceans or waddled across its surface, and it was the size of a gorilla!

A team of scientists hailing from the University of Southampton and Ohio University has successfully reconstructed the inner ears and brains of two spinosaurs from Britain, which has shed light on the ways in which these formidable carnivorous creatures inter…

After completing the first sample depot on another world, the rover continues its hunt for Mars rocks worthy of study on Earth.

Behold the oblong space rock that sailed past Earth on February 3.

Six radar observations made of an asteroid swinging by our planet have revealed an unusually oblong space rock. The object...

The collapse of the glacier could trigger a chain reaction leading to the collapse of surrounding glaciers.

Isotope study showing the partitioning of moisture into snow, ice, and groundwater allows an understanding of the relative contribution to river flow to show where Himalayan river water comes from.

A radical series of new studies suggests that dark energy may be contained in black holes, which they found increased in mass as the universe expanded.

Blue Origin wants to build solar panels on the Moon, out of the Moon, SpaceX sold its floating landing pads, and another asteroid hits Earth exactly where an...

A sandwich inspired water filter and 19 ways of looking at consciousness.

The International Commission on Illumination (CIE) has published Technical Report CIE 251:2023 LED Reference Spectrum for Photometer Calibration, related to laboratory measurements of LED lighting.

Every biologist knows that small structures can sometimes have a big impact: Millions of signaling molecules, hormones, and other biomolecules are bustling arou

The Visible and Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) on the recently launched NOAA-21 satellite started collecting Earth science data from its day-night band (DNB) and its thermal emissive bands (TEB) on Feb. 9, 2023. This comes three months after the sa…

To study how stars and planets are born we have to look at star cradles hidden in cool clouds of dust. Far-infrared telescopes are able to pierce through those clouds. Conventionally, niobium nitride bolometers are used as the detectors, despite their low ope…

Paleontologists have identified 50 million-year-old fossil bones found on a New Zealand beach as the remains of a super-sized early penguin species. These waddling water birds would have likely been about a metre and a half tall and weighed in at 150 kilogram…

New observations have brought to light that stars can form through the dynamic interaction of gas within interstellar gas clouds. This process unfolds faster than previously assumed, research within the FEEDBACK programme on board the flying observatory SOFIA…

A popular public website that tracks activities on NASA’s Deep Space Network has been taken offline for a “cybersecurity review” linked to Artemis missions.

Researchers can now see the influence of young stars on galaxy formation.

Astronomers have used the James Webb Space Telescope to peer inside the heart of spiral galaxies, where young stars carve out glowing paths.

Astronomers have used the James Webb Space Telescope to peer inside the heart of spiral galaxies, where young stars carve out glowing paths. The new images reveal the surprising weblike structures the stars create inside galaxies as they evolve.
