Astronomers have discovered a 300-km-diameter object in the outer reaches of our solar system. Its rather unusual orbit could call into question the existence of the famous Planet 9.
John Sandusky, a scientist at Sandia Space Telescope, proposes a bold idea: reusing heliostats at night to detect near-Earth asteroids. His proposal promises to be a low-cost alternative to conventional telescopes.
The accelerated growth of the space industry is worrying the scientific community because of its impact on the ozone layer, which is still recovering after decades of damage.
NASA's DART mission deflected an asteroid in 2022, but released a torrent of space rocks on unpredictable trajectories, now forcing astronomers to rethink planetary defense strategies.
What cosmic delights with NASA’s latest space telescope reveal and what will they tell us about our universe?
What's more sensational? The discovery itself or the technique used? Thanks to an innovative technique, a study has discovered traces of planets already present while stars were still forming.
Researchers rethink space ripples analysis so we can better understand black hole collisions across the Universe.
The GW231123 event challenges the limits of known physics with the largest black holes ever detected, a finding that opens new questions about the origin of the universe.
A team of astronomers made an unexpected discovery. They found the remains of a supernova that, unlike what is generally observed, occurred in a double explosion. This is the first such discovery, but likely not the only one.
In this article, we'll talk about a constellation linked to mythology. After discussing Cepheus, King of Ethiopia, we now turn to Queen Cassiopeia, famous for her beauty but also for her vanity.
New study discusses observational results that argue the Milky Way is trapped in a cosmic void.
