Astronomers have unveiled a stunning new gallery of dusty rings encircling young stars, revealing the intricate architecture of developing planetary systems. Using observations from the European Southern Observatory’s (ESO) Very
Observations with the SPHERE instrument on the European Southern Observatory’s VLT revealed the presence of debris rings similar to structures in our Solar System. SPHERE found rings similar to the
Astronomers have captured images of two stellar explosions—known as novae—within days of their eruption and in unprecedented detail. The breakthrough provides direct evidence that these explosions are more complex than

Former NASA administrator Michael Griffin pulled no punches about where he sees America’s current Artemis moon landing program in Congressional testimony today. Griffin testified alongside other witnesses at a hearing
Located about 39 light-years from Earth, the TRAPPIST system resembles a miniature version of our solar system: The star, an ultracool red dwarf, and all its planets would comfortably fit
Stars form in massive clouds of gas called molecular clouds. As they form, they accrete gas from these clouds, and as the stars rotate, gas and dust accumulates in a
