This time, the focus is on the remains of a star that exploded in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), a satellite galaxy of the ...

Scientists have unveiled an enormous gas cloud just 300 light-years from the solar system that measures about full 40 moons ...

The Andromeda Galaxy's family of dwarfs are an enigma. First it was the unusual flat plane around which more than half of them orbit, and now this lopsidedness. It just goes to show that sometimes it ...

Our solar system exists in one of the Milky Way's smaller spiral arms — the Orion-Cygnus arm — which radiates out from the center of the galaxy. While we can use our vantage point to view ...

A surprisingly well-formed spiral galaxy has been spotted just a billion years after the Big Bang, challenging long-held ...

"Thanks to the high resolution of our new images, we detected a faint structure on the northeast side of this supernova ...

The cloud, named Eos, is chock-full of molecular hydrogen and possibly rife with star-forming potential in the future.

Some three times the size of our Milky Way, the galaxy lies nearly a billion ... Were a jet to be pointed in the direction of our solar system, it could potentially strip away planetary ...

Point sources such as the black hole at the center of the galaxy or cosmic ray sources like supernovas (exploding stars) cannot easily explain this. But a smoothly distributed dark matter halo can.

A new AI model from the University of Bern predicts planetary systems likely to host Earth-like planets. It could boost the ...
