Scientists are slowly getting to the bottom of how some of the universe's most mind-bending worlds came to be.

The James Webb Space Telescope stared through the gas and dust surrounding an infant star around 1,000 light-years away to see the turbulent outflows it is...

We all know the universe contains a vast array of elements, ranging from light gases, such as helium, to heavy metals, like lead. But where did all of the...

Research led by the University of Hertfordshire has revealed the dramatic history of Andromeda, our nearest neighboring galaxy. Using state-of-the-art modeling, Professor Chiaki Kobayashi and a team of international astrophysicists have determined details about the galaxy's history through galactic archaeology—an approach that examines the chemical composition of stars and the development of their host galaxy, to…

A supernova, pinpointed by amateur astronomers, could reveal unexpected new steps in the deaths of massive stars.

Tungsten is an important resource when it comes to building big machines for your outpost in Starfield. Here's where you can find it and how you can use it

The enormous waves are the result of gravitational tides dragging around stellar material.

For decades, scientists anticipated the discovery of objects from other stars passing through the Solar System. (One of us remembers their grad school advisor — Tom Quinn at the University of…

Unlock the secrets of the Periodic Table of Elements with these surprising facts and deepen your understanding of the building blocks of our universe.

Magnesium diboride (MgB2) is a low-cost, non-toxic superconductor used in field magnets, electric motors, and generators. However, producing nanoscale boron (B) particles to fabricate MgB2 is expensive. Researchers recently tackled this issue by using high-energy ultra-sonication in 2-propanol, a highly viscous solvent, to produce impurity-free, nm-sized B particles. The approach is cost-effective and enables…

A new mid-infrared image from the Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) onboard the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope shows the supernova remnant Cassiopeia A.

For safety's sake, keep your kids' bathing suits as bright as possible.

Gold is a noble element - one that is so chemically stable that it is found untarnished in the ground. But under some conditions, it can be converted to gold salts, which were the standard of care for rheumatoid arthritis. But gold salts, which are quite toxic, and been replaced with a number of superior immunosuppressive drugs over the past two decades. The Golden Age of gold salts is over.

NASA said that new research into galaxies captures by the James Webb Space Telescope has revealed what could be the most chemically primitive galaxy ever identified.

Astronomers using the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope have detected three high-redshift galaxies with remarkable similarities to 'green pea' galaxies, a rare class of small galaxies in the local Universe.

A new analysis of distant galaxies imaged by NASA's James Webb Space Telescope shows that they are extremely young and share some remarkable similarities to "green peas," a rare class of small galaxies in our cosmic backyard.

It's another first for astronomy. For the first time, a team of astronomers have imaged in real-time as a red supergiant star reached the end of its life. They watched as the star convulsed in its death throes before finally exploding as a supernova. And their observations contradict previous

Gases trapped in lunar meteorites hint that the moon was formed out of material displaced from Earth after a planetary collision.

The abundance of hydrogen and helium make it a possible energy source.

A sparkling landscape of baby stars. A foamy blue and orange view of a dying star. Five galaxies in a cosmic dance. The splendors of the universe glowed in a new batch of images released Tuesday from NASA's powerful new telescope.
