But in the past two decades, new types of black holes have been seen and astronomers are beginning to understand how they ...

NASA’s James Webb Telescope captures the "Cosmic Owl," a rare galactic formation resembling an owl’s face. See stunning images.

We measure the extremely long distances between things in space by light years. A light year is the distance that light travels in one Earth year. Light travels at about 300,000 kilometres per second.

Astronomers using the Green Bank Telescope spotted surprisingly cold, dense hydrogen clouds embedded inside the Milky Way’s ...

Researchers analysing Webb Telescope data recently found a rare galactic duo. Together, the galaxies form an owl-like structure about 11 billion light-years away.

According to a provocative new study, that might just be our cosmic address. This idea is meant to solve one of the biggest ...

Don’t call them Duergar—they’re dark dwarfs. A new study published in the Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics (JCAP) proposes that the core of our galaxy is full of an all-new category of ...

Are we living in a cosmic void? New theory suggests our galaxy sits in a giant hole warping the universe's expansion.

Cosmic radiation occasionally contains enormous amounts of energy, but we don’t know why or where this radiation comes from.

The search for dark matter requires all the best models, theories, and ideas we can throw at it. A new paper by Julia Monika ...

Astronomers have turned the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) into a time machine to peer back in cosmic time to 1 billion years after the Big Bang.

I’ve spent much of my long life studying — and trying to understand — the history of the universe. Along the way, I have been constantly reminded that science is essentially international: Science ...
