If it exploded today, this future supernova might be close enough to us to pose a threat, but the Sun will have burned out before it happens.

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has teamed up with the MeerKAT radio telescope array to explore how magnetic fields ...

The cluster, full of more than 2,500 newborn stars that blaze blue in the Hubble image, is in a galaxy with far fewer heavy chemical substances than the Milky Way. It's mostly made of hydrogen and ...

The researchers confirmed that two enormous stars, each more than 20 times the mass of the sun, are growing inside ...

Newly-processed image of Small Magellanic Cloud star cluster shows that this old space telescope can still impress with its pictures ...

Scientists, using infrared images from NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope, have found that the Milky Way’s graceful spiral structure is primarily shaped by two arms extending from a central bar of stars.

A century ago, Edwin Hubble revolutionized our understanding of the universe by proving that the Milky Way is just one of ...
