The JWST has pushed the boundaries of exoplanet characterization. But one thing it hasn’t done yet is to determine if rocky exoplanets close to our Solar System can retain their
Astronomers have found a young star bathing a planet in intense X-ray radiation, wearing it away at a rapid rate. The planet is Jupiter-sized and orbits its red dwarf star
There are plenty of engineering challenges facing space exploration missions, most of which are specific to their missions objectives. However, there are some that are more universal, especially regarding electronics.
The circumstellar disk candidate in optical (left) from the Rubin Observatory “First Look” image and in infrared (right) from the Spitzer IRAC Healpix survey. Both images are 40″ on a
Astrophotography transforms distant celestial wonders into stunning images, and choosing the right telescope is key to success. This guide highlights the best telescopes for astrophotography in 2025, tailored for beginners
Astronomers unveiled a striking new view of the interstellar visitor 3I/ATLAS on its journey toward the inner solar system. The Gemini North telescope in Hawai‘i captured the newfound comet passing
This is HOPS-315, a baby star where astronomers have observed evidence for the earliest stages of planet formation. The image was taken with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), in
Visual summary of key considerations and arguments about the nature and scope of the definition and use of the term “habitable.” There are strong and valid arguments both for a
