NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) just discovered a new exoplanet with a star that follows an unusual orbiting path around the Milky Way—it orbits both above and below the galactic plane.

Ever since the Big Bang, the universe has been expanding at a calculable rate, though the exact rate is still in dispute. The universe's rate of expansion was famously discovered by Edwin Hubble back in 1929.

After analyzing six years worth of data from the Dark Energy Survey (DES), astronomers have discovered over 130 new minor planets near the edge of our solar system.

After months of painstaking assembly, NASA has just released the highest-resolution panorama of Mars yet.

Despite rather wild media speculation surrounding the cause of Betelgeuse’s recent inexplicable dimming, new research has finally provided a definitive answer.

NASA’s InSight, the most recent robot to inhabit Mars, is already sending back a lot of valuable data on the red planet, particularly on seismic and weather activity.

Exoplanets are notoriously difficult to discover and confirm—often hidden from regular telescope detection by the brightness of the stars they orbit.

Astronomers at the University of California, Riverside have discovered a peculiar ultramassive galaxy that existed for only a brief time in the early universe before becoming inactive. The ultramassive galaxy, known as XM

The European Southern Observatory (ESO) recently published an image of Jupiter in a way many are unlikely to ever witness—with a glowing halo emanating around it.

Back at the beginning of 2019, NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft studied and passed a peculiar object in the Kuiper Belt, known as Arrokoth.

Discovering signs of extraterrestrial life in the universe has been a highly sought-after field of inquiry throughout much of scientific history.

China’s Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Telescope (FAST)—which is the single largest and most powerful radio telescope in the world—is now 100% operational.
