Very massive stars (VMSs), which typically has masses about 100 times that of our own Sun, are critical components in our understanding of the formation of important astronomical structures like
LUNAA Journeys (St. LUcia National Astronomy Association) is looking to address an all too common problem in the global astronomical community. Too often, participation in astronomy is seen as cost
When astronauts finally reach Mars, they’ll face a unique challenge: walking and working in gravity that’s only 37% as strong as Earth’s. After spending months in the weightlessness of space,
Scientists using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have made an exciting discovery about the early universe. They found dozens of small galaxies that played a huge role in transforming
A new chapter in European weather and climate monitoring begins as EUMETSAT’s Meteosat-12 satellite, formerly Meteosat Third Generation (MTG) Imager 1, takes up the baton from Meteosat-10 to deliver Europe’s
A team led by astronomers at Leiden University in the Netherlands and the National Radio Astronomy Observatory in Virginia (U.S.) have, for the first time, robustly detected semi-heavy water ice
An international team of astronomers using the (https://sites.krieger.jhu.edu/class/) (CLASS) (https://hub.jhu.edu/2025/06/11/telescopes-look-at-cosmic-dawn/) announced the first-ever detection of radiation from the cosmic microwave background (CMB) interacting
We don’t know what dark matter is, but that doesn’t stop astronomers from using it to their advantage. Dark matter is part of what makes gravitational lensing so effective. Astronomers
