The discovery of the Big Ring, a colossal structure 9.2 billion light-years away with a diameter of 1.3 billion light-years challenges existing cosmological theories. Along…
Artistic concept of the exoplanet WASP-107b and its parent star. Even though the rather cool host star emits a relatively small fraction of high-energy photons,…
UGC 5189A, a relatively small galaxy located about 150 million light-years from Earth is featured in the Hubble Space Telescope image. Credit: ESA/Hubble & NASA,…
The James Webb Space Telescope has captured images of two early-universe quasars, shedding light on the relationship between black holes and their host galaxies. This…
Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) polarized light subjected to gravitational lensing effects, in addition to cosmic birefringence. On the far left, the white lines show the…
Astronomers discovered enormous radio wave circles in 2019, named ORCs. Research led by Professor Alison Coil indicates these are caused by galactic winds from starburst…
Researchers have identified a correlation between the Sun’s magnetic field and sunspot cycles, predicting that the peak of the current solar cycle is imminent. This…
Astronomers have discovered a new way to analyze active black holes, revealing that their microwave and X-ray emissions are similar across different consumption rates. This…
Astronomers analyzed HAT-P-18 b using the James Webb Space Telescope, revealing water vapor and CO2 in its atmosphere. They highlighted the challenges of distinguishing between…
Researchers have confirmed a key aspect of star formation — the role of accretion disks and disk winds in overcoming the angular momentum problem. Using…
Astronomers have traced the most powerful and distant fast radio burst (FRB) to a rare cluster of interacting galaxies, challenging existing models of FRB origins…
Image of the Rho Ophiuchi cloud complex, the closest star-forming region to Earth. This study reveals that the newly born stars in Rho Ophiuchi have…
The Einstein Probe, China’s new satellite equipped with advanced X-ray telescopes, is set to explore mysterious and violent cosmic events. The mission aims to enhance…
Astronomers have discovered that stars like the Sun experience a significant reduction in magnetic braking as they age, altering our understanding of star evolution and…
The James Webb Space Telescope has revealed a new structure within the Beta Pictoris system, resembling a cat’s tail. This discovery, led by Isabel Rebollido,…
NASA’s Cassini spacecraft captured this image of Enceladus on November 30, 2010. The shadow of the body of Enceladus on the lower portions of the…
NASA’s Parker Solar Probe successfully completed its 18th close approach to the Sun on December 28, 2023, matching previous distance and speed records, and communicated…
Observations with the European Southern Observatory’s (ESO) Very Large Telescope Interferometer (VLTI) found various silicate compounds and potentially iron, substances we also find in large…
The Einstein Probe, launched on January 9, 2024, is a joint venture led by the Chinese Academy of Sciences, with contributions from ESA and MPE.…
