A team has developed a method that will allow them to ‘see’ through the fog of the early Universe and detect light from the first stars.

Our universe could be the mirror image of an antimatter universe extending backwards in time before the Big Bang.

The surface of the moon and rocky planets, Mars in particular, are of huge interest to anyone trying to explore our solar system.

The black hole’s gravity, which exists in three dimensions, mathematically connects to the particles dancing above it, which exist in 2D.

To understand the reason Jupiter currently looks the way it does, Kane and his graduate student Zhexing Li ran a dynamic computer simulation

The star system consists of a binary set of stars – two stars that orbit one another and then one, more massive star orbiting the binary.

Experts who are known for debunking black hole discoveries have found a dormant stellar-mass black hole in the Large Magellanic Cloud

According to this scenario, life on Earth was originally based on RNA only, and DNA and protein enzymes evolved later.

Scientists can use modern rocks, moon samples and meteorites to figure out when and how the Earth and moon formed over 4.6 billion years ago

Liquid water is an important prerequisite for life to develop on a planet. It could also exist for billions of years on planets.

MIT astronomers have discovered two terrestrial, Earth-sized, planets that lie just 10 parsecs, or about 33 light-years, from Earth.

A genetic discovery could turn disease-carrying mosquitoes into insect Peter Pans, preventing them from ever maturing or multiplying.

Astronomers have for the first time discovered what may be a free-floating black hole by observing the brightening of a more distant star.

In the vicinity of a black hole, space curves so much that light rays are deflected and may curve around them several times.

For several hundred million years after the Moon formed, frequent impacts coupled with abundant volcanism on the planet formed basaltic lava

Newly discovered black holes in dwarf galaxies shed light on the origin of our galaxy's central supermassive black hole.

The Andromeda galaxy, our Milky Way's closest neighbor, is the most distant object in the sky that you can see with your unaided eye.

Planetary systems around binary stars may be very different from those around single stars and might point to extraterrestrial life.

New research suggests an unseen ‘mirror world’ of particles might be the key to solving a major puzzle in cosmology – the Hubble constant.

A unique new instrument, coupled with a powerful telescope and a little help from nature, enables scientists to peer into galactic nurseries
