Now this does not tell us that this Cause is the God of Christianity—far from ... has not always been here. Robert Jastrow summarizes the significance of the evidence this way: “For the ...

A U.S. scientist searching for a civilization across 7 Earth clones circling the red dwarf star TRAPPIST-1 says its own alien ...

Last week at the 245th meeting of the American Astronomical Society in National Harbor, Maryland, astronomers presented some of their most recent and exciting finds from the James Webb Space ...

Researchers say they are puzzled over the discovery. Astronomers have detected fast-repeating radio bursts from a distant "dead" galaxy that should not contain the energy to produce these types of ...

Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), astronomers have discovered distant, overly massive supermassive black holes in the early universe. The black holes seem way too massive compared to ...

Scientists now think that a mysterious object massive enough to have gravitational interactions with the Solar System’s disk and planets flew by billions of years ago and permanently altered ...

In the century since Hubble’s pioneering work, astronomers like me have learned that the universe is vast and contains trillions of galaxies. In 1610, astronomer Galileo Galilei used the newly ...

The Hubble Space Telescope completes a high-resolution portrait of our galaxy's gorgeous neighbor, which will help scientists better understand our Milky Way.

An extremely slow pulsar has made scientists “slow down” their assumptions about other pulsars. The pace could be caused by a flashing magnetic field rather than pulsar rotation alone.

The case of mistaken identity was resolved swiftly in a collaboration between professional and amateur astronomers. But some astronomers say it is also emblematic of a growing issue: the lack of ...

The finds could help astronomers refine their theories of how galaxies evolve, the researchers say. Hunting for black holes is difficult work. They are the darkest objects in the universe ...
