High Resolution Images of Exoplanets in Other Solar Systems

Current exoplanet images are mostly single blurry pixels or are inferred from the gravitational effects on stars. The planets in other solar systems are very difficult to see due t...

Nova V612 Scuti's light curve becomes audio, revealing how stellar shocks evolved

Researchers in the Department of Physics & Astronomy at Texas Tech University recently used audio to represent the spectacular explosion of a star in deep space while also delv...

An ocean of stars

The Vera C. Rubin Observatory has kicked off an epic mission to map the Universe, including potentially dangerous asteroids.

Scan More than 60 Million Stars in the Most Detailed Photo of the Milky Way Ever Taken

Scientists can pinpoint exoplanets and measure their mass by monitoring tiny changes in starlight over time in a process called microlensing. Do stories and artists like this matte...

Student astronomer discovers 'Rosetta stone' for mysterious cosmic signals

White dwarf binary provides unique natural laboratory for extreme physics.

Stunning new image of the Milky Way reveals its glittering heart

This brilliant new image, taken by Europe’s Euclid space telescope, offers a preview of the kind of imaging that will be possible with NASA’s upcoming Roman telescope

Someone built a map of the stars from Project Hail Mary, and it’s shockingly good

A developer used ESA's GAIA DR3 dataset, which maps 1.8 billion real stars, to recreate the Project Hail Mary star map. It's accurate, interactive, and completely free to explore.

Brightness 'gap' in ancient star cluster reveals missing red dwarfs

Scientists from the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) in Baltimore, Maryland, sought to study one stellar subject and ended up finding something even more exciting. The tea...

Student astronomer discovers 'Rosetta Stone' for mysterious cosmic signals

An international team led by astronomers at the University of Sydney has uncovered the clearest evidence yet for the origin of an unusual class of cosmic signals. In doing so, they...

Scientists Discover Two Strange Dead Stars That Defy Astronomical Expectations

Researchers say the isolated white dwarfs Gandalf and Moon-Sized define a new class of stellar remnant because they share five traits, including X-ray emission. Across the immense...

Stellar Scores Physical 1:1 Backed Gold: Huge For XLM?

XLM Network gets golden with this 1:1 backed XAUm as Stellar’s RWA balance sheet reaches unprecedented figures. Continue reading at DailyCoin.

Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer reveals four cosmic ray classes across 20 elements, defying current models

Millions of light-years away, millions of years ago, a star exploded. In this violent process, it ejected incredible amounts of mass, including carbon, nitrogen and oxygen—the buil...

NASA data reveals weird x-ray changes in the exploded ruins of dead stars

This sparkling galaxy is home to a set of supernova remnants that showed variable brightnesses over 14 years of data

Stellar price prediction 2026-2030: the compliance-first bet

Stellar trades between $0.15 and $0.17 in late May 2026, with a market cap around $5.3 billion (rank #19 to #21), 82% below the January 2018 high of $0.9381. Stellar has been quiet...

Euclid captures 60 million stars in sharpest broad view of Milky Way's core

For just one day, our dark universe detective, Euclid, turned its gaze toward the light: the extremely bright inner region of our Milky Way galaxy, known as the galactic bulge. Thi...

An international team led by astronomers at the University of Sydney has uncovered the clearest evidence yet for the origin of an unusual class of cosmic signals. In doing so, they...

Sunrise III data release opens rare high-altitude solar views that could sharpen space weather forecasts

Close to 100 scientists from all over Europe, the United States, and Japan are gathering this week at the Institute for Solar Physics (KIS) in Freiburg to present and discuss the f...

Can the cataclysmic explosions of dying stars help unlock grand mysteries of the universe?

Once charted as a 'guest star' in ancient China, dreaded as a harbinger of ill omens in medieval Europe, and preserved in the narratives and artworks of Indigenous cultures, these...

We Can Now Weigh Galaxies Using Dead Stars As Scales

Researchers at the University of Alabama in Huntsville have found a new way to measure the mass of neighbouring galaxies using pulsars. Using the universe's most precise natural cl...

JWST maps the weather on a hot gas giant 700 light-years away

The differences seen here could be throwing off how we study planetary atmospheres.

Surrounded by stardust: Antarctic ice cores confirm Earth is accumulating iron-60 from local interstellar cloud

Our solar system is currently passing through the Local Interstellar Cloud, a region of highly diluted gas and dust between the stars. On its path, Earth continuously accumulates i...

A cataclysmic collision in space provides new clues on astronomy's biggest stalemate

Second only to black holes, neutron stars—incredibly dense star remnants—are the densest objects in the universe. When neutron stars collide, they create ripples in the fabric of s...
