WOH G64 has always been an oddball. It sits in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a small galaxy that orbits the Milky Way, and it ranks among the most extreme red supergiants known.

Scientists mapped 650 light-years of the Milky Way’s core to examine star formation in one of the galaxy’s most extreme environments.

A galaxy made almost entirely of dark matter, an elusive form of matter that doesn’t interact with light, was spotted by Hubble 250 million light-years from Earth.

The galaxy NGC 941 was imaged by the Subaru Telescope at the summit of Maunakea, Hawai'i. Using the Subaru Telescope located at the summit of the extinct volcano Maunkea in Hawai'i, astronomers have ...

Saul Hernandez, a New Mexico State University senior studying physics and linguistics with a minor in astronomy, has turned recycled materials into a backyard radio telescope capable of detecting the ...

A Kentucky lake town turns magical after dark, with quiet docks, soft water sounds, and Milky Way skies that feel unreal on ...

Using the Chile-based ALMA telescope, the researchers examined the dynamics and chemistry of a central region.

Astronomers have spotted what may be one of the universe’s earliest barred spiral galaxies — a striking cosmic structure forming just 2 billion years after the Big Bang. The galaxy, COSMOS-74706, ...

When the venerable Hubble Space Telescope made its Deep Fields studies of the early Universe, it discovered something that would puzzle astronomers to this day. When the Universe was just a few ...

Scientists using the ALMA telescope have created the most-detailed-ever map of the Milky Way's chaotic center. The observations could open a window to the ancient universe as it appeared shortly ...

Deep inside the Milky Way, an invisible force is quietly holding everything together — its magnetic field. Now, researchers have created one of the most detailed maps ever of this hidden structure, ...

Scientists report a possible pulsar at the Milky Way’s center, discovered through radio observations by the Breakthrough Listen team using the Green Bank Telescope, offering a new laboratory for ...
