Scientists have discovered that a distant “hot Jupiter” has a planetary companion. The two planets perform a rhythmic dance around the star TOI-1408, 455 light-years…
Hubble Discovers Cluster of Emission Nebulae in the Large Magellanic Cloud
This active region of old and new stars is located about 160,000 light-years away in the constellation Cervus. This complex cluster of emission nebulae, known…
New simulation sheds light on the destruction of stars by supermassive black holes
Monash University astronomers have contributed to a groundbreaking breakthrough in understanding the dramatic fate of stars that get too close to the supermassive black hole…
Astronomers find that galaxies in denser environments are up to 25% larger than those in less dense regions
Using Yale University’s supercomputers, a team of astronomers has found for the first time that galaxies in denser environments in the universe are up to…
Baby planets reveal hiding places
New analysis of archival data reveals the presence of shocked gas in the protoplanetary disk surrounding the young star TW Hydra. The discovery suggests the…
Research team releases global color image dataset and 76 meter/pixel map of Mars
Remote sensing images of Mars contain extensive information about its surface morphology, topography, and geological structure. This data is the basis for scientific research and…
Tracking a newly discovered hypervelocity star discovered by citizen scientists
While it may seem like the Sun is standing still while the planets move in their orbits, it actually revolves around the Milky Way at…
