A 600-year-old stellar event described in cryptic language finally gets a scientific ID.

Scientists have detected crystalline water ice around a young, sun-like star for the very first time, revealing surprising details about planet formation.

Across the cosmos, many stars can be found in pairs, gracefully circling one another. Yet one of the most dramatic pairings occurs between two orbiting black holes, formed after their massive progenitor stars exploded in supernova blasts. If these black holes…

Scientists say a new planetarium show about the Milky Way has helped them unlock one of the solar system’s many secrets.

Researchers have unveiled the first direct evidence of these massive waves and linked them to bizarre seismic signals that baffled scientists.

Ed White made a historic spacewalk on June 3, 1965. Here's what the spacewalk studied.

Astronomy has lost one of its most assiduous calculators of eclipses with the passing of astronomer Fred Espenak, known widely as "Mr. Eclipse."

The first observations of Pluto by NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) reveal dramatic phenomena on its surface, like seasonal cycles of volatile ice redistribution across its surface, and material being pulled from its very atmosphere onto its main sate…
