A team of astronomers have found that planet formation in our young Solar System started much earlier than previously thought, with the building blocks of

Astronomers have made a record-breaking measurement of a black hole’s spin, one of two fundamental properties of black holes. NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory

The unusual behaviour of sulphur in Venus’ atmosphere cannot be explained by an ‘aerial’ form of extra-terrestrial life, according to a new study.

Black holes with masses equivalent to millions of suns do put a brake on the birth of new stars, say astronomers. Using machine learning and three

A new study shows it’s theoretically possible. The hypothesis could be tested soon with proposed Venus-bound missions.

Dark energy, the mysterious force that causes the universe to accelerate, may have been responsible for unexpected results from the XENON1T experiment, deep

A new class of exoplanet very different to our own, but which could support life, has been identified by astronomers, which could greatly accelerate the search

Astronomers have developed the most realistic model to date of planet formation in binary star systems.

Cosmic dawn, when stars formed for the first time, occurred 250 million to 350 million years after the beginning of the universe, according to a new study led
