This artist’s concept shows what the exoplanet PSR J2322-2650b may look like. Gravitational forces from the much heavier pulsar it orbits are pulling the Jupiter-mass world into this bizarre lemon ...

Exoplanet PSR J2322-2650b, orbiting a pulsar, possesses an unprecedented helium-and-carbon-dominated atmosphere, characterized by molecular carbon (C3 and C2) and soot clouds, a composition unlike any ...

In order for NASA to study the mysteries of the universe, the scientists there need to be able to look out into the cosmos. The Hubble Space Telescope did this for a time, giving humanity some ...

Scientists are scratching their heads over a recent James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) discovery that looks more like a piece of fruit than your typical celestial sphere. The planet, designated PSR ...

A collision would occur in just 2.8 days if all satellites lost their ability to dodge each other, highlighting how crowded Earth’s orbit is becoming. In the past seven years, the number of satellites ...

Scientists using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope have observed an entirely new type of exoplanet whose atmospheric composition challenges our understanding of how this type of planet forms. This ...

What could force a supermassive black hole (SMBH) out of its host galaxy? They can have hundreds of millions, even billions of solar masses. What's powerful enough to dislodge one of these behemoths?
