The first interstellar object to visit the solar system may have been a fragment of an icy exoplanet, research suggests. When 1I/’Oumuamua was first spotted in 2017, astronomers quickly determined
Circumstellar discs are believed to be key components in planetary formation. However, we have very little actual evidence of planets growing in the “rings” that surround young stars. So planet
Fomalhaut is one of the brightest stars in the night sky and has been observed in great detail for decades. Some research suggests it hosts exoplanets, while other research counters
For years, satellite sensors have transmitted vast quantities of imagery to the ground, where analysts then discarded views obscured by clouds, identified natural features or objects and shared pictures with
Within our Milky Way galaxy, in the direction of the constellation Vulpecula, a cosmic “lighthouse” named PSR B1937+21 spins at an astonishing rate of 642 revolutions per second. It emits
Finding life beyond Earth would be a major scientific discovery with significant implications for all areas of science and human thought. Yet, only one direct search for extraterrestrial life has
Astronomers and students working together through a unique educational initiative have obtained a striking new image of the growing tail of interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS. The observations reveal a prominent tail
Astronomers have gained insights into star formation by capturing the first spatially resolved detection of protostellar outflows and jets in the Milky Way’s outer region.
