New stellar archaeology of a population of ancient carbon-rich stars in the inner galaxy is reshaping what we know about the Milky Way’s formation.

The new clues will eventually help scientists predict solar flares. These space weather events can lead to auroras, endanger astronauts, and may even cause massive electrical blackouts.

Research led by the University of Southampton has revealed how supermassive black holes (SMBHs) are feeding off gas clouds which reach them by travelling hundreds of thousands of light years from one galaxy to another.

A recent study describes a novel thermal control system using a lightweight multifunctional nanobarrier structure (MFNS) that could revolutionize how thermal control is managed in spacecraft.

A new study has successfully used AlphaFold, an artificial intelligence (AI)-powered protein structure database, to accelerate the design and synthesis of a drug to treat the most common type of primary liver cancer.

Have you ever wanted to know what it looks like when a black hole eats a star? Now you know.

In a new field trial, researchers show that a real-time coherent transceiver prototype can be used for continuous sensing over a 524-km live network aerial fiber wound around high-voltage power cables suspended from outdoor poles.

Light pollution has raised concerns about its ecological effects on people and animals

Mercedes' Formula 1 technical director Mike Elliott has explained how a single data point in the initial design simulations of the W13 car led to the team's disappointing 2022 campaign.

Researchers from across the world are involved in detecting such signals to look at what happened in the early universe.

NASA’s Astronomy Picture of the Day is a breathtaking snapshot of two dominant galaxies locked in gravitational combat.

The rare green comet that can be spotted in the sky is named C/ 2022 E3 (ZTF) and it hasn’t entered the Earth since the last ice age.

How did these whales get so big? A new study explored the genetic underpinnings of gigantism in whales, identifying four genes that appear to have played crucial roles.

A galactic photo shoot has captured more than 3 billion stars and galaxies in one of the biggest sky surveys ever.

As ESA’s Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer (Juice) prepares to explore the Jupiter system, find out how you too can observe the giant planet and its largest moons.

Does anything orbit the Moon? Yes, NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter and a handful of other active spacecraft are currently orbiting the Moon. One of the really cool CubeSats I'm excited about is NASA CAPSTONE, which joined these other spacecraft in orbit a…
