In recent years, astronomers have become increasingly interested in a theoretical particle known as the axion, which was ...

Scientists using the James Webb telescope observed a distant exoplanet with an atmosphere of soot and diamonds, challenging all explanations.

By tracking tiny stellar wobbles, astronomers have detected planets forming around young stars for the first time.

Astronomers using NASA's Hubble Space Telescope have imaged the largest protoplanetary disk ever observed circling a young ...

Astronomers have uncovered a massive hidden planet and a rare “failed star” by combining ultra-precise space data with some of the sharpest ground-based images ever taken. Using the Subaru Telescope ...

PSR J2322-2650 b is pulled and stretched with a lemon-like appearance due to the immense gravity that surrounds it. The gravity is so strong that the planet cannot retain its spherical shape. Instead, ...

Our sun is about halfway through its life, which means Earth is as well. After a star exhausts its hydrogen nuclear fuel, its diameter expands more than a hundredfold, engulfing any unlucky planets in ...

It's one of life's biggest questions - are we alone in the universe? Now, one of Britain's top space scientists has declared ...

Astronomers have discovered a bizarre carbon-rich planet orbiting a neutron star, PSR J2322-2650b, with soot clouds and ...

Astronomers using W. M. Keck Observatory and Subaru Telescope on the Big Island’s Maunakea discovered a massive planet and a brown dwarf orbiting distant stars — two rare companions that deepen our ...
