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

Samples returned from the Hayabusa2 mission provides invaluable insights into the formation and evolution of our solar system.

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

Where the geomagnetic field strength is decreasing rapidly, led to speculation that Earth is heading towards a magnetic polarity reversal.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to travel to outer space and then keep going? What would you find? Does space goes on forever?

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

Our universe could be the mirror image of an antimatter universe extending backwards in time before the Big Bang, claim physicists in Canada

In the study, the scientists were able to determine the mathematical description of the quantum state of the matrix model.

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.

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

The stone named Hypatia from the Egyptian desert could be the first tangible evidence found on Earth of a supernova type Ia explosion.

In the vicinity of black holes, space is so warped that even light rays may curve around them several times visualizing multiple versions.

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.

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

Above the atmosphere is space. It’s called that because it has far fewer molecules, with lots of empty space between them.

A futuristic technique conceptualized by Stanford scientists could enable astronomical imaging far more advanced than any present today.

Researchers have demonstrated Alfvén waves accelerating electrons under conditions that correspond to Earth’s magnetosphere.
