Astronomers have made a breakthrough by using 25 year old Hubble images to investigate a potential “rogue planet” drifting through space without a host star. When a brief gravitational microlensing
Some of the most powerful supercomputers in the world are designed to simulate complex astrophysical processes, like what’s happening inside a giant star as it’s going supernova. But researchers have
Astronomers once wondered if the Universe might one day collapse in on itself in a Big Crunch, but the discovery of dark energy suggested that the expansion of the Universe
A new investigation into old Kepler data has revealed that a planetary system once thought to house zero planets actually has two planets that orbit their star in a unique
When it comes to star formation, not all galaxies are the same. Some are quenched, meaning they’ve depleted their star forming gas and form very few new stars. Some, like
NASA’s newest astrophysics space telescope launched in March on a mission to create an all-sky map of the universe. Now settled into low-Earth orbit, SPHEREx (Spectro-Photometer for the History of
The Dark Matter Particle Explorer (DAMPE, also known as “Wukong”) Collaboration has obtained a high-precision cosmic-ray boron spectrum in the energy range of 10 GeV/n–8 TeV/n, and discovered a spectral
Could SpaceX extend its Florida footprint?
An early Wednesday morning launch on the Space Coast marked the 500th time SpaceX has flown its workhorse Falcon 9 rocket, reusing the fleet-leading first stage booster for a record
