There’s a new frozen oddball orbiting the Sun, and it’s not your average space rock. It’s a planet—a minor one, to be ...

When it descends through the thick golden haze on Saturn’s moon Titan, NASA’s Dragonfly rotorcraft will find eerily familiar ...

In a groundbreaking step for exoplanet science, NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has given us an unprecedented look at the atmosphere of TOI-421 b, a sub-Neptune exoplanet about 245 light ...

NGC 3640, a scarred elliptical galaxy caught on camera by the VST, shows evidence of past galactic feasts. But its tiny neighbor, NGC 3641, seems to be slipping away unscathed — a cosmic near-miss.

“This means that the distance between galaxies is increasing constantly. We have measured how far apart elliptical galaxies are from one another today. Using these data and taking into account ...

Along with a number of neighbouring galaxies — including our closest galactic neighbour, the Andromeda Galaxy — it forms what is referred to as the “Local Group” of galaxies, a galactic agglomeration ...

However, not all spiral galaxies are created equal, as two recent images from the Hubble Space Telescope show. The image above shows galaxy NGC 3596, a neat and orderly spiral galaxy. And the image ...

To its right, 1st-magnitude Saturn is also readily visible to the naked eye, while elusive Neptune lies between them. You’ll have a brief opportunity to catch the distant magnitude 7.8 ice giant ...

What can heat distribution within galaxy clusters, which often consist of hundreds to thousands of galaxies, teach astronomers about their formation and evolution? This is what a recent study ...
