Incredible images reveal the moment a new planet begins to sculpt spirals of dust and gas around its home star, located over 440 light-years from Earth.

Astronomers have just solved a long-standing mystery about a rare, rapidly spinning neutron star known as PSR J1023+0038.

Astronomers have discovered the earliest seeds of rocky planets forming in the gas around a baby sun-like star, providing a ...

Astronomers have, for the first time, observed the very beginning of planet formation around a star beyond our Solar System. Using the James Webb Space Telescope and ALMA, researchers detected hot ...

Previously, astronomers have observed giant planets, like Jupiter, forming in the giant discs around young stars. According ...

The astronomers observed hot minerals just beginning to solidify – the first specks of planet-forming material, the astronomers said. A gaseous disk surrounding the young star is the first stages of ...

Using the European Southern Observatory’s accurately named Very Large Telescope and working with researchers internationally, the scientists quickly found signs of a past double detonation.

They observed the thousands of colors and sparkling stars in the spiral galaxy, almost 11 million light-years away, up close. “Galaxies are incredibly complex systems that we are still struggling to ...

The composite was created using the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope, and is comprised of over 100 exposures captured during a 50-hour marathon observation session.
