Astronomers have identified one of the oldest “dead” galaxies ever observed and discovered new evidence that supermassive black holes can quietly choke off star formation over time, rather than destroying galaxies in sudden, violent events.
The Euclid Space Telescope, aimed at unraveling the mysteries of the Universe, has been launched aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 spacecraft from Florida's Cape Canaveral.
Former UK Paralympian John McFall has been hired as the first ever physically disabled astronaut for the European Space Agency (ESA) following a rigorous selection process.
In a groundbreaking analysis utilizing the latest telescope observations, astronomers from the University of Florida have revealed that one-third of all common planets in our galaxy may be classed as 'hospitable planets'.
Three times brighter than the brightest tidal disruption event, the AT2021lwx was the largest known cosmic explosion recorded by the University of Southampton.
How does Earth differ from Mars? Researchers observe seismic waves travelling through Mars to understand its formation – and why it sustains life differently.
New information provided by the James Webb Space Telescope indicates six galaxies that shouldn’t exist - the telescope has revealed these earliest and largest galaxies on NASA’s radar might be even bigger and more mature than previously thought possible.
JWST researchers have been able to locate a tiny distant galaxy which originated around 500 million years after the Big Bang – in the universe’s youth.
Research has revealed a new way of producing and shaping large high-quality mirrors for space telescopes allowing for them to be rolled up and stored compactly inside during launch.
For the first time, a raging dust storm has been observed by the James Webb Space Telescope on the exoplanet known as VHS 1256b, which is outside our Solar System.
The sensation of ‘weightlessness’ during space travel has long-term effects on the brain, where the brain's rules about gravity are no longer applicable.
Moon dust could be an option to block the sun’s radiation and slow global warming – researchers are looking to intercept a fraction of sunlight before it reaches Earth.
