For the first time, astronomers have traced a fast radio burst (FRB) to the outskirts of an ancient, dead, elliptical galaxy—an unprecedented home for a phenomenon previously associated with much younger galaxies.

These FRBs, named FRB 20240209A, are located outside of the massive ancient elliptical galaxy it is associated with that only contains old and dead stars, Shah said. Using the James Webb Space ...

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

The car-sized Curiosity rover has spotted evidence of once quite hospitable environs on Mars.

Pinpointing a Milepost Marker Star that Opened the Realm of Galaxies At the dawn of the 20th century, astronomers faced a cosmic puzzle. The night sky was dotted with more than 100 nebulous objects cataloged in the late 1700s by French astronomer Charles Messier.

Starting at 12:30 p.m. ET (1730 GMT) on Saturday (Jan. 25), astrophysicist Gianluca Masi of the Virtual Telescope Project will stream live telescope views of all six of the planets in marching order. You can watch the livestream courtesy of the Virtual Telescope Project directly on their website or YouTube channel.

"Rootless cones form when lava flows over wet or icy ground, causing it to boil and explode," said Dundas. "The region around Athabasca Valles is covered by a huge lava flow field, and seeing rootless cones on that lava tells scientists that there was ice underground but very close to the surface when that lava erupted."

The elliptical orbit which carries you from Earth to Mars is longer than Earth's orbit but shorter than Mars' orbit. Accordingly, we can estimate the time it would take to complete this orbit by ...

2025, governed by the transformative energy of the number 9 and Mars, brings significant changes and challenges. Embracing discipline, courage, and acceptance while practicing mindfulness during ...

NASA InSight’s seismic data uncovers the Martian dichotomy origins Findings suggest ancient tectonic activity shaped Mars’ hemispheres Seismic analysis points to internal planetary processes as a caus

Hubble Space Telescope mapped Andromeda, revealing a chaotic history shaped by mergers. A 2.5-billion-pixel mosaic shows 200 million stars.

Rethinking the Underlying Trigger of Quasar Jets Building on the groundbreaking 2020 discovery of newborn jets in several quasars, the Hubble Space Telescope has revealed that one of the quasar host galaxies has an unexpected spiral shape.
