Cosmology

Astronomers have discovered a super diffuse dwarf galaxy, named Nube, which gives off barely any visible light and seemingly defies explanation.

A green "Grinch-like" shape in a supernova remnant imaged by the James Webb telescope may have come from a blast debris field, scientists proposed

Scientists discovered 13 molecules, including some never spotted before in the early universe, inside two galaxies located 12 billion light-years away.

Our solar system has been orbiting the Milky Way's black hole heart for 4.6 billion years. But it is hard to pin down exactly how many trips around the galaxy our sun has made during that time.

Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have spotted what may be the smallest known brown dwarf, a "failed star" that's only three or four times larger than Jupiter.

While hunting for dark matter, astronomers accidentally discovered the first known stellar stream stretching between galaxies. The trail of stars is also the longest ever seen.

Our best observations can't come up with a single answer for how quickly the universe is expanding. Maybe that's because our galaxy is at the center of a giant void.

Researchers recently detected an "ultra-high-energy" cosmic ray, which is the most powerful since the famous "Oh My God" particle was detected in 1991. They have no idea where it came from.

Dark matter may come in multiple particles and weights, similar to the ordinary elements on the periodic table, a new theory suggests.

A white dwarf spotted by the Gaia telescope was predicted to smash into our solar system in 29,000 years. But we'll be safe after all.
