A groundbreaking discovery, recently detailed in The Astrophysical Journal Letters, has unveiled a “mini halo” surrounding ...

Compact ruddy galaxies seen by the James Webb telescope confound astronomers. Having very little spin at birth may explain the galaxies’ small sizes.

Such a mini-halo consists of highly energetic charged particles in the vacuum between galaxies in a cluster, which together emanate radio waves which we can detect from Earth. The discovery shows that ...

Some theories suggest they are produced by “magnetars” – the highly magnetised cores of massive, dead stars – or arise from ...

Rubin Observatory begins 10-year sky survey to uncover dark matter, track asteroids, and build a detailed view of our evolving universe.

Powered by the largest digital camera ever built, Rubin Observatory has taken its first images—millions of stars and galaxies ...

A microquasar belonging to our Milky Way galaxy has set records by generating cosmic rays with energy levels never before seen.

Close stellar encounters could change the structure of our planetary system, potentially dooming Earth or other worlds to ...
