Stellar nursery sparkles at the edge of our galaxy in gorgeous Hubble Telescope image

The emission nebula, known as Sh2-284, is an immense region of gas and dust that fuels new star formation. It lacks elements heavier than hydrogen and helium, much like the environment of the early universe.

What happened to all the water on Mars? Here's why the debate continues

The Mars water debate continues. A team of scientists suggests vast oceans of water may not be locked within the Red Planet's crust, despite InSight lander data.

Cosmic 'tornadoes' rage around the heart of the Milky Way and its supermassive black hole

Astronomers have discovered filaments of matter swirling tornado-like around the heart of the Milky Way, home to the supermassive black hole Sagittarius A*.

Fresh Findings Strengthen the Case for Dark Energy's Evolution

It’s looking more and more as if dark energy, the mysterious factor that scientists say is behind the accelerating expansion of the universe, isn’t as constant as they once thought. The latest findings from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument, or DESI, don’t quite yet come up to the level of a confirmed discovery, but they’re leading scientists to rethink their views on the evolution of the universe — and how it might end.

How Warp Drives Don't Break Relativity

Somehow, we all know how a warp drive works. You're in your spaceship and you need to get to another star. So you press a button or flip a switch or pull a lever and your ship just goes fast. Like really fast. Faster than the speed of light. Fast enough that you can get to your next destination by the end of the next commercial break.

SpaceX launches 450th Falcon 9 rocket, breaks booster turnaround record on NRO mission

Which is better for astrophotography? Sony, Canon or Nikon?

Three giants in the camera industry — but which one has the best astrophotography features for you?

When space meets sea, Crew-9 Dragon meets dolphins: Space photo of the day

A pod of bottlenose dolphins seemingly took interest in the capsule that dropped out of the sky, circling and surfacing as SpaceX team members worked to recover their spacecraft.

JWST Cycle 4 Spotlight, Part 4: Stellar Populations and the Interstellar Medium

Welcome back to our five-part examination of Webb's Cycle 4 General Observations program. In the first and second installments, we examined how some of Webb's 8,500 hours of prime observing time this cycle will be dedicated to exoplanet characterization, the study of galaxies at "Cosmic Dawn," and the period known as "Cosmic Noon." Today, we'll look at programs that will leverage Webb's unique abilities to study stellar populations and the interstellar medium in galaxies.

SpaceX sets new rocket-reuse record on launch of US spy satellites (video)

SpaceX set a new rocket-reuse record early Friday morning (March 21) when it launched a batch of spy satellites for the U.S. National Reconnaissance Office.

The World's Oldest Impact Crater Has Been Found in Australia

The surfaces of the Moon, Mercury, and Mars are easily visible and are littered with crater impacts. Earth has been subjected to the same bombardment, but geological activity and weathering have eliminated most of the craters. The ones that remain are mostly only faint outlines or remnants. However, researchers in Australia have succeeded in finding what they think is the oldest impact crater on Earth.

Astronomers discover exotic atmosphere on scorching hot exoplanet Cuancoá. 'Like finding a snowball that hasn't melted in a fire'

The James Webb Space Telescope has detected water vapor and thick clouds on LTT 9779 b, an ultra-hot Neptune locked in a blistering 19-hour orbit.

The Extremely Large Telescope Could Sense the Hints of Life at Proxima Centauri in Just 10 Hours

The Extremely Large Telescope (ELT), currently under construction in northern Chile, will give us a better view of the Milky Way than any ground-based telescope before it. It's difficult to overstate how transformative it will be. The ELT's primary mirror array will have an effective diameter of 39 meters. It will gather more light than previous telescopes by an order of magnitude, and it will give us images 16 times sharper than the Hubble Space Telescope. It's scheduled to come online in 2028, and the results could start flooding in literally overnight, as a recent study shows.
