Using a brand new data analysis tool, astronomers identified more than 800 strange and previously undocumented space objects.
The universe’s expansion rate was supposed to be a solved problem, yet the latest high precision map of the early cosmos has pushed one of modern astronomy’s sharpest conflicts back to center stage.
The universe is expanding, but astronomers still cannot agree on exactly how fast. That mismatch, known as the Hubble tension, has turned a seemingly simple number into one of the biggest headaches in ...
In the sprawling Hydra constellation, 137 million light-years away, lies NGC 3285B—a dazzling spiral galaxy recently spotlighted by NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope. This cosmic beauty orbits the edges ...
Scientists are testing a novel way to measure cosmic expansion using time delays in gravitationally lensed quasars. Their results match “local” measurements but clash with early-universe estimates, ...
The protostar is launching the longest outburst ever seen at 32 light-years long.
NEW YORK (AP) — NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope got a rare look at the aftermath of two cosmic collisions — and helped scientists solve a decades-old mystery. Video shows flames flying from NASA plane ...
