700 years of astronomical progress is currently being laid out on the tables of the library of the Royal Observatory of Edinburgh. Join astrobites for a glimpse into the process!

Recently the world has been entertained and inspired by Project Hail Mary and the Artemis II mission, so let's compare some real and fictional space missions over the decades.

Can galaxy interactions help young and old stars in spiral arms get to know each other? These authors' simulations may have an answer!

Reticulum II? More like Reticulum TWO distinct periods of star formation! Or at least that's what new spectroscopic observations incdicate.

Like a bouncer at a nightclub, JWST is trying to figure out if some star clusters are really as old as they say they are ...

You really have to tip your hat to the authors of today's bite, who closely studied the dynamics and metallicities of the globular clusters of M104.

It's an itty bitty teeny weeny ultra faint dwarf galaxy-ni! Today's bite talks about the discovery of the faintest galaxy in the Andromeda system!

You know the saying: "when gas-rich galaxies collide, young massive star clusters will soon reside" ... well maybe you'll know the saying after reading this astrobite!

How do you distinguish between home-grown and imported stars in the Milky Way? You use the Gaia space observatory, of course!

BANG! That's the sound of a new study of the Bullet Cluster that digs deep into where the system's dark matter is and what properties it may have.

All dark matter, no stars? Is that even possible? That’s just what these authors are trying to determine in today’s article!
