A discovery of so-called barred galaxies early in the universe will require astrophysicists to refine their theories of galaxy evolution.

Researchers have created millions of simulated galaxies to find out how black holes grow with their galaxies.

From space agency missions to private space launches, 2023 will be an exciting year in space.

Do manganese oxides support the theory that Mars once had more oxygen? New experiments contradict that view.

A future mission to Enceladus, one of Saturn's 83 moons, could discover its potential for harboring alien life—all without ever landing.

Gamma-ray bursts occur when a massive star explodes or when two neutron stars merge. A newly discovered burst has puzzled astronomers, as it lasted much longer than astronomers would have expected.

Images from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope contain telltale signs of two dozen previously unseen young stars about 7,500 light years away.

Astrology and astronomy were once practiced side by side by scientists like Galileo and Kepler. And they’re more similar than you might think.

It has been one year since the launch of the James Webb Space Telescope and six months since the first pictures were released. Astronomers are already learning unexpected things about the early universe.

A major telescope upgrade has peered through to the distant Universe to reveal the spectra of a pair of galaxies 280 million light years away from Earth.
