Findings suggest the first galaxies in the universe were more massive than previously thought.

Results significantly narrow the range of possible places to find the hypothetical dark matter particles.

When searching for extraterrestrial life, astronomers may want to look at planets with hydrogen-rich atmospheres.

Scientists from the Search for Extra-Terrestrial Genomes instrument team develop method to detect the tiniest traces of life on other planetary bodies.
