A new study has found that dust launched from the moon’s surface or from a space station positioned between Earth and the sun could reduce enough solar radiation to mitigate the impacts of climate change.

For the first time, astronomers have spotted an exoplanet whose orbit is decaying around an evolved, or older, host star.

Harvard and MIT researchers warn that opacity models need to be improved to accurately interpret data from the James Webb Space Telescope.

Discovery powered by James Webb Space Telescope could yield new clues on composition, formation of planets outside solar system.

Harvard scientists discuss what the quest to image black holes could tell us about our universe.

A galaxy, some 13.5 billion light-years away, is now considered the most distant astronomical object ever spotted, leaving scientists to speculate exactly what the galaxy is.

Using one of the world’s largest supercomputers, high-resolution simulations were created that show 1 million galaxies forming some 13 billion years ago.

Scientists have shown how a chain of events led to the creation of the vast bubble that is responsible for the formation of all young stars within 500 light-years of the sun and Earth.

An instrument made by scientists and engineers at the Center for Astrophysics has helped verify that — for the first time in history — a spacecraft has entered the corona of the sun.

Signs of a planet transiting a star outside of the Milky Way galaxy may have been detected for the first time.
