Researchers suggest a new way to expand the search for habitable planets that takes into account a zone not previously considered.

A new image of the bright, nearby star Fomalhaut reveals new details, including nested rings of dust that hint at the forces of unseen planets.

"Discoveries like this really open our eyes to the fact that we are still uncovering mysteries and exploring wonders in the universe..."

A new study presents the most detailed image ever of the inner region of planet forming disks that resemble dusty infrared donuts.

The first detection of neutrinos made by a particle collider could reveal more about the nature of the universe's most abundant particle.

Regions on exoplanets called "terminator zones" could be prime sites for liquid water and possibly harbor life, a new study shows.

"No one expected the explosion to look like this. It makes no sense that it is spherical, like a ball," says Darach Watson.

Researchers have captured a radio signal from the most distant galaxy so far, allowing a peek into the secrets of the early universe.

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

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