Scientists now believe highly magnetised neutron stars, or magnetars, are a significant source of gold and other heavy ...

"Remarkable" findings from Yonsei University cast doubt on 'dark energy' theory and claim there is "no evidence" of an ...

Black hole collisions release gravitational waves and create ripples in space. They stand in an endless pause among billions ...

Astronomers generally assume that active galaxies may shift and flicker, since their central supermassive black holes tend to feed in uneven and sometimes chaotic forms. Even with all that activity, ...

The universe's expansion may actually have started to slow rather than accelerating at an ever-increasing rate as previously ...

As if dark energy weren't already mysterious and baffling enough, new research suggests that this unknown force may not be ...

A remarkable new study challenges the findings of Nobel Prize winning research into how our universe has changed over time.

For several decades, evidence has suggested that the expansion of the universe is accelerating. Crucial to those estimates were the use of standard candles, celestial events of the same luminosity ...

Astronomers have chased the first stars for decades, squinting at the early universe for any hint of their brief, brilliant ...

Three young stars have been kicked out of their cosmic nursery, perhaps for engaging in a gravitational brawl, according to Hubble Space Telescope scientists, who released images of the trio on ...

This shimmering view of interstellar gas and dust was captured by the European Space Agency's Euclid space telescope. The ...

How did the extremely massive stars (EMS) in the early universe help form the oldest star clusters? This is what a recent ...
