For centuries, astronomers have puzzled over the origins of one of the universe's oldest and densest stellar systems, known ...

For centuries, scientists have puzzled over globular clusters, the dense star systems that orbit galaxies without dark matter ...

Over the course of more than two decades, researchers at the University of Bern have developed the so-called "Bern model," a ...

Apples-to-apples comparisons in the distant universe are hard to come by. Whether the subject is dwarf galaxies, supermassive black holes, or “hot Jupiters,” astronomers can spend months or years ...

A bizarre planet defies cosmic norms: scientists have confirmed a giant planet orbiting in reverse around one star in a close binary system—an arrangement previously thought impossible. Using advanced ...

Star TOI-6894 is just like many in our galaxy, a small red dwarf, and only ~20% of the mass of our sun. Like many small stars, it is not expected to provide suitable conditions for the formation and ...

When the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) first delivered unprecedented images of some of the universe’s earliest galaxies, it left astronomers scratching their heads. These distant galaxies, which ...

Astronomers have discovered a rare star system in which six planets orbit around one star in an elaborate geometrical pattern due to a phenomenon called orbital resonance. Using both NASA’s Transiting ...
