A new study using nearly eight years of data from the CALorimetric Electron Telescope (CALET) instrument on the International Space Station reports more electrons arriving…
Astronomers using NASA’s JWST and other telescopes have detected a bright gamma-ray burst from a neutron star collision, leading to the first direct observation of…
Astronomers have discovered that the universe’s expansion is accelerating, likely due to dark energy, as described in the Lambda CDM model. However, inconsistencies in expansion…
Scientists uncover prolonged radio emissions above a sunspot, akin to those previously seen in the polar regions of planets and certain stars, which may reshape…
Time travel, a longstanding fascination in science fiction, remains a complex and unresolved concept in science. The second law of thermodynamics suggests time can only…
ESA’s Integral space telescope detected an unprecedented gamma-ray burst from a distant exploding star, causing significant disturbances in Earth’s ionosphere. This event, the brightest and…

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has provided evidence supporting the theory that icy pebbles drift inward from the colder parts of protoplanetary disks to form…
Euclid’s advanced imaging presents a spectacularly detailed panorama of the Horsehead Nebula, located within the Orion constellation. The nebula, part of a massive star-forming region,…
Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope, have discovered ceers-2112, the most distant barred spiral galaxy observed to date. This challenges prior assumptions about galaxy…
Using NASA’s Chandra and Webb telescopes, astronomers have discovered an ancient, massive black hole, providing clues about the origins of the universe’s first supermassive black…
Euclid has captured a comprehensive image of the NGC 6397 globular cluster, located in the Milky Way’s disc and containing stars that offer insights into…
This panchromatic view of galaxy cluster MACS0416 was created by combining infrared observations from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope with visible-light data from NASA’s Hubble…
Astronomers have discovered the most distant black hole ever observed in X-rays, located in galaxy UHZ1, over 13 billion light-years away. Using data from the…
