Astronomers observed the most powerful explosion ever recorded in the universe, which gave birth to a black hole. They did so using the Gemini South telescope in Chile operated by NSF's NOIRLab. Dubbed Gamma-Ray Burst GRB221009A, this record-shattering the observed...

Astronomers have identified a protogalaxy in the Milky Way in and around the constellation Sagittarius which suggests it may be our galaxy’s original nucleus. New data from the Gaia spacecraft reveal the full extent of what seems to be the...

According to recent research, a change in Jupiter's orbit might make the surface of Earth even more suitable to life than it already is. Scientists at the University of California-Riverside (UCR) studied simulations of several configurations of our solar system...

Scientists have detected the distribution of the oldest dark matter ever observed in the universe based on calculations from the glow of surrounding galaxies of twelve billion years ago. The history of our entire universe is smeared across the vastness...

Astronomers have detected a mysterious fast radio burst in space with a pattern similar to a heartbeat with a signal estimated to come from a faraway galaxy roughly a billion light-years away. In a study detailing the findings published in...
