New research indicates that UV rays, not cosmic or X-rays, drive the chemistry involved in late-stage planet development.

"We will build on the moon. We will colonize the moon. We will exploit the moon. We will do science on the moon," according to a new book.

Little ‘hurricanes’ that form in the discs of gas and dust around young stars can be used to study certain aspects of planet formation, even for smaller

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.
