Last week, four lasers were projected into the sky above the European Southern Observatory (ESO) Paranal site in Chile. The ...

Astronomers may have just uncovered the earliest stars ever observed, potentially rewriting our understanding of the universe ...

A handful of extremely massive stars, each heavier than 1,000 Suns, may have sculpted the chemistry of the oldest star ...

A team of astrophysicists has unveiled how colossal stars thousands of times more massive than the Sun shaped the earliest star clusters and galaxies. These short-lived giants not only forged the ...

Scientists now believe highly magnetised neutron stars, or magnetars, are a significant source of gold and other heavy ...

A new survey of 500,000 stars finds only 0.28% host close-in giants, showing how aging Sun-like stars drag their planets to destruction.

Astronomers may have misread cosmic acceleration for 27 years. The universe may be slowing down, not speeding up.

A new claim surrounding the interstellar object 3I/ATLAS has drawn attention from both astronomers and conspiracy theorists ...

At a distance of160,000 light-years, an aging red supergiant star in a neighboring galaxy has become the subject of an ...

A comprehensive set of simulations by Flatiron Institute astrophysicists and their colleagues revealed that magnetic fields are responsible for creating black holes with masses in a range previously ...

Interstellar object 3I/ATLAS is baffling scientists with its blue glow and strange acceleration. Harvard's Avi Loeb argues it could be an alien probe, not just a comet.
