The space telescope spied three young stars in the nebula.

A plume of molten rock deep beneath eastern Africa is pulsing upward in rhythmic surges, slowly splitting the continent and potentially marking the birth of a new ocean, a new study reports.

Some planets take the expression "you're your own worst enemy" to the extreme — triggering stellar flares from their own parent stars by being too clingy.

Our Red Planet explorers may encounter a peculiar threat.

Astronomers have discovered the first evidence of a white dwarf wiped out by a double-detonation supernova, also providing space-lovers with stunning eye-candy.

Cosmic archeologists have used the James Webb Space Telescope to excavate ancient disk galaxies that tell the story of how the Milky Way and other modern galaxies evolved.

A distant cluster of galaxies is wrapped in a vast halo of high-energy particles that could be the work of supermassive black holes or a cosmic particle accelerator.

The Mars rover captured images of low ridges called boxwork patterns, which appear like spiderwebs from space.

A new quantum recipe for black holes could be the first step toward a theory of "quantum gravity", the "holy grail" of physics.
