Astronomers have made significant strides in understanding how planets like the ones in our solar system form by detecting planet-forming “pebbles” around two young stars.
Galactic turbulence, a cosmic enigma influencing everything from star formation to particle movement, has been simulated with unprecedented precision. The surprising results challenge long-held theories about energy flow in the vast interstellar medium.
Scientists have identified a mysterious X-ray source, known as AX J145732−590 located far beyond our own Milky Way. Observations using X-ray telescopes suggest this object, previously hidden by the dense material within our galaxy, is a large collection of galaxies.
An international study has revealed that super-Earth exoplanets, planets larger than Earth but smaller than gas giants like Neptune, are significantly more common across the universe than scientists once believed.
As artificial intelligence helps scientists push the boundaries of how we observe the universe, researchers have developed an AI system capable of designing entirely new types of detectors for observing gravitational waves.
Recent moves in the European Commission include the European Commission and the Government of Ukraine, which have signed a new agreement allowing Ukraine to participate in key components of the European Union Space Programme.
It's not uncommon to spot at least one bright planet on most nights; however, sometimes, you may get the chance to see up to four of five planets visible at once. This creates a "planetary parade" or a "planet alignment".
Euclid, the ESA's dark Universe detective, has made a stunning early discovery: a near-perfect Einstein ring. This rare phenomenon, caused by gravitational lensing, was found surrounding galaxy NGC 6505, showcasing Euclid's power and hinting at the wealth of cosmic secrets it will uncover.
