In the grand puzzle of the cosmos, one question continues to defy easy answers: how fast is the universe expanding?

A new analysis of the sky has finally confirmed where the missing half of the Universe's visible matter has been hiding.

Astronomers are applying new image-processing techniques to previously released Hubble observations in honor of the space ...

Astronomers have tracked a mysterious magnetar, SGR 0501+4516, across the Milky Way, revealing it may not have formed in a ...

New JWST data strengthens earlier hints that K2-18b, a possible water world 120 light-years away, could host the chemical byproducts of life.

The potential discovery of life elsewhere is down to the unprecedented sensitivity of Nasa's James Webb Space Telescope.

A decade of observations cast doubt on the typical magnetar origin story, at least as it relates to SGR 0501+4516.

The image was published as part of the 35th anniversary celebrations of the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, which was ...

SGR 0501+4516, one of the roughly 30 known magnetars in the Milky Way, was discovered in 2008 after NASA’s Swift Observatory detected gamma-ray flashes at the galaxy’s edge. Unlike typical magnetars, ...

Hubble’s 35‑year celebration brings a vibrant reimagining of the Sombrero Galaxy, revealing hidden dust lanes and far‑flung stars. This iconic “Mexican hat” quietly forms almost no new stars while ...

A fog of long-wavelength infrared light could be produced by dusty, star-forming galaxies that have remained hidden — until now, that is.
