Observations from the Event Horizon Telescope may reveal a secret merger in our supermassive black hole's past, potentially explaining the cosmic monster's unusual spin.

New James Webb Space Telescope results have revealed that there may not be a Hubble tension after all. But contradictions within the findings point to a deeper mystery.

The photos will be displayed in October at London's Natural History Museum.

NASA scientists have discovered a planet-wide electric field surrounding Earth, confirming a 60-year-old hypothesis. Studying the field could yield some vital information about how our planet's atmosphere has evolved.

Finding the universe's brightness is essential for confirming our theories of what makes up the universe. But to do so, scientists had to send a spacecraft far away from our sun.

The new AI system can estimate cosmological parameters with stunning precision, and it could help astronomers unpick one of the thorniest problems in the field.

The James Webb Space Telescope has uncovered six "rogue planets" careening through space without a star. The objects are believed to have formed directly from gas collapse, blurring the lines between planets and stars.

NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Sunita Williams will not return to Earth on the troubled Boeing Starliner spacecraft. Instead, NASA will bring them home in February 2025 aboard a SpaceX vehicle, while Starliner falls to Earth uncrewed.

Scientists have created the world's fastest microscope, which they hope will answer fundamental questions about how electrons behave.

The newly found antiparticle, called antihyperhydrogen-4, could have a potential imbalance with its matter counterpart that may help scientists understand how our universe came to be.

Predicting dangerous tipping points in complex systems has proven to be a headache for scientists. Now, a new AI system could be poised to do the job for them.

Scientists have observed an unexpected new behavior in a superconducting material. If physicists can figure out the cause, it could help them to find room-temperature superconductors.

Astronomers have long predicted that a collision between our galaxy and nearby Andromeda could be inevitable, but new calculations suggest this may be an over exaggeration.

The large language model gets medical calls wrong more often than not.

NASA has once again pushed back the deadline for when the troubled Boeing Starliner spacecraft must leave the International Space Station. The agency expects to be ready to conduct a flight readiness review as soon as the end of next week.

A UK-based astrophotographer captured this stunning composite image of the Perseid meteor shower raining "shooting stars" over Stonehenge.

Scientists examining data from NASA's InSight Lander have revealed the likely presence of an underground reservoir containing enough liquid to cover the planet with a mile of water.

Three powerful solar eruptions could bring auroras as far south as New York and Idaho right at the peak of the Perseid meteor shower this weekend.

If left unchecked,"model collapse" could make AI systems less useful, and fill the internet with incomprehensible babble.

The Crew-9 handover has been delayed amid rumors that NASA could be planning to return the troubled Starliner spacecraft without its astronauts.

The light from the most distant galaxy in the known universe suggests that there's something off about our current cosmological models, a new James Webb Space Telescope study finds. The explanations remain elusive.

The T Coronae Borealis nova will soon burst into life above our heads for the first time in 78 years.

A peculiar leopard-spotted rock, found beside an ancient, dried-out river in Mars' Jezero crater, contains some tantalizing clues of ancient life, NASA said.

The unusual patterns, found beneath West Antarctica's Doston Ice Shelf, could help scientists to better understand how glaciers erode.

Researchers have devised an "absurdly fast" algorithm to solve the problem of finding the fastest flow through a network.
