If you could keep going out, as far as you wanted, would you just keep passing by galaxies forever? Are there an infinite number of galaxies

Researchers at SLAC found that oxygen boosts this exotic precipitation, revealing a new path to make nanodiamonds here on Earth.

A new citizen science project allows volunteers to play an important role in helping scientists learn more about the atmosphere on Jupiter.

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

Scientists relied on the holographic principle, which suggests that the two existing theories – particles and gravity – are equivalent.

Groundbreaking observation from Gemini Observatory suggests this and possibly other colossal stars are less massive than previously thought.

In the last 25 years, astronomers have found thousands of exoplanets around stars in our galaxy, but more than 99% of them orbit small stars

Some cosmological models propose that the universe expands and contracts in infinite cycles, but new research finds a crucial flaw

Northwestern University launched STARFORGE, a project that produces the most realistic, highest-resolution 3D simulations of star formations

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

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

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

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.

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

As astronomers look out at the distant cosmos, it’s only natural that they would also look inward, to the center of our own Milky Way.

Astronomers have been able to identify the widest range of elements in a relatively bright star beyond our solar system yet.

Researchers have identified a distant object with properties that lie in-between those of a galaxy and those of a so-called quasar.
