The findings will help scientists trace a black hole’s evolution as it feeds on stellar material.

Among thousands of known exoplanets, MIT astronomers flag three that are actually stars.

The boiling new world, which zips around its star at ultraclose range, is among the lightest exoplanets found to date.

A newly discovered “ultrahot Jupiter” has the shortest orbit of any known gas giant.

Regardless of size, all black holes experience similar accretion cycles, a new study finds.

Shooting beams of ions at proton clouds may help researchers map the inner workings of neutron stars.

Lesson learned from the CHiPS survey must inform future cluster searches, researchers say.

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.
