Using NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory and other telescopes, astronomers have traced a short-duration gamma-ray burst event called GRB 230906A to a faint dwarf galaxy embedded in a vast stream of intergalactic gas. This discovery suggests that some neutron-star mergers — violent collisions that forge heavy elements like gold and platinum — can occur far from

Artificial intelligence helps astronomers observe what may be the first known case of a star exploding while interacting with a black hole...

Astronomers have likely witnessed a planet forming in real time, seen inside a spiral arm of the HD 135344B protoplanetary disc—exactly where theory predicted. The direct light detection is what sets this apart from previous hints of forming worlds...

The Sculptor galaxy, also known as NGC 253, is similar in size, mass, and shape to our own spiral Milky Way. ESO researcher Enrico Congiu said the galaxy is in the "sweet spot," meaning it is close enough that we can resolve its internal structure to study it in great...Read Entire Article...

Pluto might be small and distant, but it keeps surprising scientists. After the New Horizons spacecraft zipped past it in 2015, we got our first real look at its icy landscape and unexpectedly active atmosphere. But even with those discoveries, one question lingered in scientists’ minds. How does Pluto regulate its temperature with such a

Researchers have developed new AI-powered software that can sharpen astronomical images from ground-based telescopes that are blurred by Earth's atmosphere...
