Astronomers have detected strange "wobbles" in the light curve of a super bright supernova, hinting that a magnetar was born inside the extreme stellar explosion.

The Solar System is a weird place filled with incredible physics and geological oddities that often break down in human terms ...

Two telescopes have captured images of the Cat's Eye Nebula, revealing how a dying star shed layers of material in violent ...

Hundreds of mysterious objects have appeared in images captured by the Webb space telescope. The curious dots could reshape scientists’ understanding of the cosmos.

The levels of a heavy form of hydrogen in 3I/ATLAS are 30 to 40 times higher than in Earth's oceans, suggesting the comet has ...

A new study explains how some supernovae are particularly dazzling—the glow from a magnetic, spinning ball of neutrons called a magnetar. An assist from Einstein is what settled the case ...

A groundbreaking study in galactic archaeology proves the Sun made a treacherous journey to reach its current home in the ...

Astronomers have found that both the core of our Milky Way and the earliest proto-galaxies in the universe share a surprising trait: They are unusually calm and quiet in terms of harsh radiation. This ...
