Scientists have found that a sample of the moon brought to Earth in 1972 by Apollo 17 astronauts contains a ratio of sulfur ...

ORCs are vast, faint rings of radio energy that surround galaxies and can be detected only in radio wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum. They are made up of fast-moving, magnetized plasma.

Astronomers have found the most distant and energetic “odd radio circle” ever detected — a massive double-ringed radio structure nearly 10 billion years old. The discovery, made with the help of ...

A mysterious space object named 2023 KQ14, nicknamed “Ammonite,” challenges theories about the mysterious and possible Planet ...

Scientists have found out a massive dark matter that is entirely invisible to the naked eye, as per the study in Nature ...

A new study suggests yet another theory for a possible extra planet in our solar system, likely of a size between Mercury and ...

Astronomers have captured something extraordinary: the first-ever direct photo of a baby planet growing inside a dusty ring ...

Using a powerful combination of the Subaru Telescope and the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), astronomers have discovered seven supermassive black hole-powered quasars surrounded by veils of dust ...
