Astronomers using the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope have produced a beautiful new image of the intermediate spiral galaxy NGC 5042. NGC 5042 is located around 48 million light-years away from Earth ...

Astronomers may finally have settled the question of what is causing highly energetic X-rays from WD 2226-210, a white dwarf star located at the center of the Helix Nebula. The Helix Nebula is a ...

Astronomers using the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) on NSF’s Nicholas U. Mayall 4-m telescope at Kitt Peak National Observatory, a program of the NOIRLab, have compiled the largest ...

As our Solar System orbits the Milky Way, it encounters various environments, including dense regions of the interstellar medium. These encounters can expose parts of the Solar System to the ...

White dwarfs may present amenable environments for life on planets formed within or migrated to their habitable zones, generating warmer surface environments than those of planets with main-sequence ...

Dubbed KM3-230213A, the newly-detected neutrino carried an astonishing energy of 220 peta-electronvolts (PeV), making it one of the most powerful elementary particles ever detected. Its energy was ...

University of Adelaide’s Dr. Ross Young and colleagues from the QCDSF Collaboration are exploring the structure of subatomic matter to try and provide further insight into the forces that underpin the ...

Paleontologists from the American University in Cairo and elsewhere say they have found an almost complete skull of the hyaenodont Bastetodon syrtos in the lower Oligocene layers of the Jebel Qatrani ...

Astronomers using ESO’s Visible and Infrared Survey Telescope for Astronomy (VISTA) have created a stunning 80-million-pixel image of the star cluster RCW 38. RCW 38 is a super star cluster located ...

Plant-eating sauropod dinosaurs were ecosystems engineers, profoundly changing their environments by knocking down trees and eating high volumes of vegetation. Following the end-Cretaceous mass ...

Using the Gemini South telescope, astronomers from NSF’s NOIRLab have imaged a beautiful nebula around the young open cluster NGC 2040. NGC 2040 is located approximately 160,000 light-years away from ...

Paleontologists have identified a new genus and species of small-sized dinocephalosaurid archosauromorph from the fossilized skeleton found in the Chinese province of Yunnan. Austronaga minuta ...
