Using NASA's Chandra X-ray telescope, astronomers witnessed a massive black hole jet slam into an unknown object in space.

Violent superflares erupt from sun-like stars about once a century, far more frequently than previously expected. As a civilization around such a star, what does this mean for us?

Astronomers have discovered a new vast Odd Radio Circle, or "ORC," that could help determine the origin of this strange galaxy-encompassing phenomenon.

Using the Large Hadron Collider and the ALICE detector scientists have found the heavist antimatter particle yet, generated in Big Bang like conditions.

The Hubble Space Telescope has peered deeper than ever before into the heart of the supermassive black hole-powered quasar 3C, 273 spotting "weird" structures.

Stars in binaries with black holes usually suffer gruesome fates, but two systems discovered by Gaia hint at a survival mechanism.

'Hubble was right!' The largest cosmic survey from the James Webb Space Telescope indicates scientists may need another ingredient in their cosmic recipe.

Astronomers have discovered that large flows of cold gas created by collisions between galaxies in the early universe may have forged some of the most monstrous star systems.

If they are right, we may have already discovered the largest possible ultramassive black hole! Scientists may have discovered a limit to how massive black holes can grow. If they're right, we may have already discovered the largest possible ultramassive black hole!

A map of the universe in gravitational waves could reveal "hidden" black holes, supermassive black hole collisions, and the large-scale structure of the cosmos.

Data from a now defunct NASA spacecraft has revealed a massive internal reservior of organic material within the second wettest solar system body, Ceres.

The Zwicky Transient Facility has reached an incredible milestone, classifying over 10,000 supernovas, cosmic explosions that mark the death of massive stars.

Using the JWST astronomers have dived deeper into a cosmic spiderweb called the Spiderweb protocluster located 10 billion light-years away than ever before.

Using the James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers have discovered a fourth planet in Kepler-51, a sweet system of cotton candy super puff planets.

New research suggests that tiny primordial black holes could be hollowing out planets and passing through everyday objects, maybe even you and your cat!

An asteroid hitting a neutron star could release enough energy to power humanity for 100 million years, more than enough to explain fast radio bursts!

The Big Bang may not have been the origin of the universe's most mysterious matter. Instead, dark matter could have been created in a second creation event, a "Dark Big Bang."

New research suggests that Venus may never have possessed liquid water oceans. That would mean "Earth's evil twin" was always hostile to life.

Years after the collapse of the Arecebo telescope data from the radio observatory has helped SETI scientists probe the characteristics of pulsars, cosmic lighthouses powered by dead stars.

Astronomers have tracked a mysterious, record-breaking blast of energy to a binary star system containing a red dwarf star and a white dwarf — solving a two-decade-long puzzle.

If astronomers could catch bursts of gamma rays from supernova explosions that create neutron stars near the Milky Way, the mystery of dark matter could be wrapped up in 10 seconds.

The James Webb Space Telescope has taken a detailed look at the Milky Way's monstrous young supercluster Westerlund 1.

A sample of the asteroid Ryugu returned to Earth by the Hayabusa2 mission was rapidly colonized by terrestrial microorganisms, new research has revealed.
