NASA’s InSight lander listened to Marsquakes for four years. The tremors revealed that Mars may have a solid inner core.

The fast radio burst came from 130 million light-years away. That proximity allowed an in-depth search for what produced the mysterious signal.

On Mars, the Perseverance rover found a spotted rock that could bear signs of ancient life. On Earth, a researcher used a lookalike for a

In a first, astronomers imaged a baby planet within a gap in the disk of material around a star, confirming predictions about how rings form.

Like the Uranus’s other 28 moons, the newfound object spotted by JWST will be named after a William Shakespeare or Alexander Pope character.

Before exploding, a star shed most of its layers, giving a glimpse at a massive star’s deep interior. The event may represent a new kind

The Webb telescope found that a far-off little red dot is the oldest known black hole, shrouded by gas that could help explain the ruby

The hypothesis could extend the search for extraterrestrial life to include frigid planets with thin atmospheres and underground water.

Alpha Centauri A, four light-years from Earth, may host a gas giant. If confirmed, no Earthlike planets orbit in the star’s habitable zone.

The superclouds probably produce star-forming clouds of gas, since most nearby stellar nurseries are located within the giants.

These star-shredding black holes sit within dusty galaxies that block many telescopes’ views. That’s not an issue for JWST.

An infinity symbol–shaped galaxy hosts an active supermassive black hole. The growing giant may have come from the aftermath of a galactic smashup.
