Amazing to see a metal-rich galaxy so early in the Universe's history. Scanning the first images of a well-known early galaxy taken by NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), Cornell…
A new ring system in the Solar System? Plus it's beyond the Roche Limit - which will mean a re-think of our understanding of orbital bodies. ESA’s Cheops finds an…
Astronomers discover eight new super-hot starsImage of a star field with a red square in the centre highlighting a small group of stars.A sky survey image centred on the newly-discovered…
OzGrav Makes Waves With $35M To Understand the Universe The Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for Gravitational Wave Discovery (OzGrav) at Swinburne has been awarded a further $35 million…
Astronomers say they have solved an outstanding problem that challenged our understanding of how the universe evolved—the spatial distribution of faint satellite galaxies orbiting the Milky Way. These satellite galaxies…
Artemis 2 is scheduled to launch in 2024, but it may be tough for NASA to hit that target. Orion's successful splashdown Sunday afternoon (Dec. 11) returned some critical components…
Two new studies suggest that certain tetrahedral arrangements of galaxies outnumber their mirror images, potentially reflecting details of the universe’s birth. But confirmation is needed. Physicists believe they have detected…
Why haven't we found wormholes? It might be because they look just like blackholes! A group of researchers at Sofia University has found evidence that suggests the reason that a…
Is this isn't a worry, I don't know what is! Astronomers have discovered a giant asteroid hiding in the glare of the sun that might one day cross paths with…
An international team of astrophysicists has made a puzzling discovery while analyzing certain star clusters. The finding challenges Newton's laws of gravity, the researchers write in their publication. Instead, the…
Six months have passed since a European rocket lofted the James Webb Space Telescope into orbit. Since that time, the ultra-complex telescope has successfully unfolded its expansive sunshield, commissioned its…
A unique telescope that focuses light with a slowly spinning bowl of liquid mercury instead of a solid mirror has opened its eye to the skies above India. Such telescopes…
