Astronomers previously thought all FRBs were generated by magnetars formed through the explosions of very young, massive stars. But new FRB is pinpointed to the outskirts of 11.3-billion-year-old galaxy without young,

Venus, Mars, Mercury, and Jupiter will align within the elliptical plane, offering a striking celestial display. This rare alignment is linked with significant astrological energy, potentially affecting emotions and relationships.

"Because it's such a large supermassive black hole at the center, we'd predicted we'd see an elliptical galaxy." The spiral host galaxy, a quasar named J0742+2704, was discovered emanating a ...

When he and his team plotted the signals, they found that the source sat in the distant outskirts of an ancient elliptical galaxy about 2 billion light years from Earth. This galaxy is around 11.3 billion years old, leading experts to believe it should not ...

Pinpointing a Milepost Marker Star that Opened the Realm of Galaxies At the dawn of the 20th century, astronomers faced a cosmic puzzle. The night sky was dotted with more than 100 nebulous objects cataloged in the late 1700s by French astronomer Charles Messier.

Starting at 12:30 p.m. ET (1730 GMT) on Saturday (Jan. 25), astrophysicist Gianluca Masi of the Virtual Telescope Project will stream live telescope views of all six of the planets in marching order. You can watch the livestream courtesy of the Virtual Telescope Project directly on their website or YouTube channel.

This rare quasar with spiral arms could help astronomers understand how supermassive black holes feed and grow.

New research suggests that a massive, unidentified object might have passed through our Solar System billions of years ago, leaving a lasting imprint on the orbits of our planets. This intriguing hypothesis,

Dec. 20, 2024 — One of the biggest mysteries in science -- dark energy -- doesn't actually exist, according to researchers looking to solve the riddle of how the Universe is expanding. For the ...

The alignment of seven planets in the night sky has captivated observers for centuries, inspiring awe and curiosity. This celestial event, commonly referred to as a planetary parade, is not just a visual spectacle but also a significant opportunity for scientific inquiry.

The Hubble Space Telescope completes a high-resolution portrait of our galaxy's gorgeous neighbor, which will help scientists better understand our Milky Way.
