Wonderful news! We just received full funding for the Galileo Project expedition to scoop the fragments of the first interstellar meteor (IM1), CNEOS 2014–01–08, that landed on the Pacific Ocean…

Using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), an international team of astronomers observed an interstellar medium in a distant star-forming galaxy SPT0346-52. The collected data could be essential in improving our knowledge about SPT0346-52 and other similar star-forming systems. The study was published February 25 on the arXiv pre-print repository.

Astronomers using the 40-m radio telescope at Yebes Observatory have detected two new complex molecules towards the Taurus Molecular Cloud 1.

Imagine your first day in class, realizing that there is a genius in it far smarter than anything you had ever witnessed before. That student gets the correct answers instantly with no effort and…

Scientists studying a nearby protostar have detected the presence of water in its circumstellar disk. The new observations made with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) mark the first detection of water being inherited into a protoplanetary disk without significant changes to its composition. These results further suggest that the water in our solar system formed billions of years before the…

Cold, dense clouds in the interstellar medium of our Milky Way Galaxy are around four-five orders of magnitude denser than their diffuse counterparts.

Scientists have performed laboratory isotopic analysis of PAHs in samples of the asteroid Ryugu that were collected by JAXA's Hayabusa-2 spacecraft as well as in samples of the meteorite Murchison.

The Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) aims to answer one of the most important scientific questions: are we alone in the Universe?

Arizona State University astronomer Rogier Windhorst and his colleagues have focused on the backlit (occulting) galaxy pair VV 191.

The $10 billion James Webb Space Telescope takes one of Hubble's most famous images to new heights.

Physicists have focused on the determination of the disappearance probability of antihelium-3 when it encounters matter particles and annihilates or disintegrates.

As our Solar System orbits the Milky Way, it encounters various environments, including dense regions of the interstellar medium.

Magnetic fields are the essential, but often "secret" ingredients of the interstellar medium and the process of making stars. The secrecy shrouding interstellar magnetic fields can be attributed to the lack of experimental probes.

No probe has ever gotten a good look at the heliosphere from the outside or properly sampled the local interstellar medium.

NASA's GUSTO balloon-borne telescope will study high-frequency radio waves transmitted through the interstellar medium to help map the Milky Way.

Webb observations of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon emission provide some of the deepest and highest resolution views of the cold interstellar medium in several nearby galaxies.

Magnetic fields are the essential, but often "secret" ingredients of the interstellar medium and the process of making stars. The secrecy shrouding interstellar magnetic fields can be attributed to the lack of experimental probes. While Michael Faraday was already probing the link between magneti

Heliophysics, space weather, exoplanets, the interstellar medium and extragalactic radio sources are just some of the other areas in which the program's long wavelength astronomy could make additional new contributions.

Astronomers using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) have detected gaseous water in the planet-forming disk around V883 Orionis.

Astronomers have detected a variety of molecules in interstellar ices toward one low- and one high-mass protostar: NGC 1333 IRAS 2A and IRAS 23385+6053, respectively.
