"This finding is the first direct evidence of water’s interstellar journey from clouds to the materials that form planetary ...
A new paper presents a method for distinguishing between different sources of nanohertz gravitational waves. Pulsars may be revealing faint ripples in the fabric of the universe, ultra–low-frequency ...
Scientists from NASA and Chalmers University have discovered that incompatible substances can mix on Titan’s icy surface, ...
The first-ever detection of this rare form of water in a protoplanetary disk suggests that what we drink might have been ...
Astronomers have discovered a surprisingly "pristine" red giant with the lowest concentration of heavy elements ever seen in a star. It is likely a direct descendant of one of the universe's first ...
Stars often fall into black holes, and now it seems the opposite can also occur, producing an extra long-lasting explosion as ...
O'Grady and her colleagues found no sign of X-rays in the Chandra data. Even assuming that the wind gusting out of Betelgeuse ...
Pulsars suggest that ultra–low-frequency gravitational waves are rippling through the cosmos. The signal seen by ...
New observations from the James Webb Space Telescope hint that the universe’s first stars might not have been ordinary fusion ...
The GWTC 4.0 catalog records 128 new gravitational wave signals, revealing mergers of black holes and neutron stars detected by LIGO.
Our readers agree that in the unlikely event you were able to approach a neutron star, it would look very smooth and bright ...
