A new version of the famous double-slit experiment showed that it's impossible to measure light as both a wave and a particle at the same time, thanks to quantum physics' uncertainty principle.

The event released 23.8 billion gallons (90 million cubic meters) of meltwater over the course of 10 days.

The Sculptor galaxy is a treasure trove of information that astronomers around the world cannot wait to pick apart.

A possible planet may be carving the disc around the young star

Meet the astonishing phenomenon of megaflash lightning.

The James Webb Space Telescope's investigations of the planetary nebula NGC 6072 suggest a second star played a hand in sculpting the death of the primary star.

Martian glaciers are mostly pure ice across the Red Planet, suggesting they might potentially be useful resources for any explorers that might land there one day, a new study finds.

Using the James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers have made the shock discovery that giant rogue exoplanets can grow their own planetary systems without needing a parent star.
