The European Space Agency’s XMM-Newton and NASA’s Chandra X-ray space telescopes have spotted the aftermath of three bright explosions echoing through the outer spiral arms of our galaxy, the Milky Way. By measuring the distance to these echoes, they found the outer arms to be up to 10% farther away than previously thought.

A new study by a doctoral researcher at The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH), part of The University of Alabama System, suggests global dust storms on Mars may organize the Martian atmosphere into regions favorable for electrical activity, increasing the potential for electrostatic discharges that could affect missions to the red planet by interfering […]
Saturn’s moon Enceladus has become a prime solar system target for astrobiologists. This is because the small moon, which is just over 10% the diameter of Earth’s moon, harbors a vast subsurface ocean beneath its icy crust. This subsurface ocean, combined with the geysers at Enceladus’ south pole that discharge bits of this ocean into […]
A new European Southern Observatory (ESO) study has found that current proposals to launch more than 1.7 million satellites into orbit, including extremely bright ones, would have “devastating consequences for astronomy.” According to the study, no more than 100,000 faint satellites, below naked-eye visibility, should orbit Earth to safeguard our ability to observe the night […]

When astronomers discovered a giant planet orbiting a dead star in 2020, they wondered how it survived its star’s violent demise. Now, observations from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) may finally explain the planet’s unlikely escape from destruction.

When it comes to drought stress, timing can be the difference between saving a crop and losing it, whether in a greenhouse or in the high-stakes environment of future space missions. In a recent study published in Plant Phenomics, researchers with the University of Florida Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences (UF/IFAS), the United States […]
Millions of stars. Thousands of hidden worlds. One unprecedented view of our galaxy. Three years since launch, ESA’s Euclid space telescope reveals the center of the Milky Way galaxy in extraordinary detail: a mosaic of tens of millions of stars captured in just 26 hours. But this is more than an image. It is a […]
Research has shed new light on why some distant galaxies suddenly stop forming stars. An international team led by astronomers at the University of Nottingham has used the James Webb Space Telescope to study a large sample of recently “quenched” galaxies in the distant universe, observed around nine billion years ago. Their findings appear in […]
Imagine standing in the emptiest place the universe has to offer, a stretch of cosmic ocean so vast that light takes tens of millions of years to cross it, and yet still finding company. That is the puzzle behind a new study built on the Calar Alto Void Integral field Treasury surveY, or CAVITY, posted […]
NASA on Tuesday announced new uncrewed missions to aid in the future creation of a lunar surface base, a project beginning to take shape despite recent setbacks.
