New research from the University of Copenhagen suggests that previously overlooked property of ghost particles may be a key part of the explanation for why some stars explode, while others collapse in...

New sample analyses by researchers at ETH Zurich point to a surprising origin for the asteroid Bennu: rather than forming far out in the Solar System, Bennu's parent body probably emerged in a special...

Contrary to conventional wisdom holding that early galaxies were composed of mostly hydrogen and helium, new observations suggest that galaxies were seeding the cosmos with heavy elements just 500 mil...

Even a small error in the orientation of a telescope’s polarization detectors can produce a false reading of cosmic birefringence. Researchers at UC San Diego have developed a method to test the relat...

We present new deep, very high angular resolution observations of the sub-mm continuum (19x13 mas) and 12CO (67x52 mas) emission from the disk surrounding the planet host WISPIT2. Our analysis reveals...

A new study from a Yale-led research team suggests that some of the most interesting black holes in the universe are the ones that have “wandered” away.

The question to whether the Moon ever possessed an internal magnetic field is a matter of debate. Now, researchers at ETH Zurich have opted for a new method to show that a mechanism once existed on th...

NASA announced Wednesday a mission to explore the history and evolution of the universe, PRIMA (PRobe far-Infrared Mission for Astrophysics), is advancing to

Using a technique developed by researchers at Brown, scientists have discovered a strange warm spot deep in the interior of the Red Planet.

Currently speeding through deep space at 12 km/s relative to Earth, ESA’s Hera spacecraft is due to reach its target Dimorphos asteroid this November. But if an astronaut were magically teleported ont...
