A new University of Mississippi study shows that some sound waves don't just move forward—they also move slightly to the side. Understanding this movement could help researchers develop more precise ...

Billions of light years away in a remote part of the universe, two neutron stars – the ultradense remnants of dead stars – collided. The catastropic cosmic event sent light and particles, including a ...

A new study published in Nature Astronomy indicates that the dense, star- and dark-matter–rich environments around supermassive black hole binaries pack on the order of a million solar masses into ...

The oldest stars in the Milky Way are forcing a fresh look at one of cosmology’s biggest arguments. If some of them are about ...

Sixty-six light-years away, an Earth-sized exoplanet completes an orbit in under six hours, skimming around its star at nearly one-hundredth the distance that Mercury orbits the Sun. This planet is on ...

An international team of scientists led by the Institute of Cosmos Sciences at the University of Barcelona (ICCUB) and the Institute of Space Studies of Catalonia (IEEC) has presented REGALADE, an ...

Lost notes reveal Galileo closely studied the ancient Greek astronomer Ptolemy, offering fresh insight into his early ...

LAWRENCE — For the past two decades, scientists have wondered about a bright, distinct striped pattern seen in radio waves ...

Astronomers using the Very Large Telescope study faint brown dwarfs in the RCW 36 nebula to understand substellar populations and the initial mass function in a young massive cluster.

The KM3NeT collaboration has traced the most energetic neutrino ever recorded back to a likely source: blazars, the supercharged jets fired by supermassive black holes directly toward Earth. The ...

This is a debut novel from Jenna Bush Hager’s new venture, Thousand Voices, a publishing group with Random House. It is an emotional read exploring themes of grief, faith, and love, with a focus on ...

New research using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope examines the maximum sizes of gas giant exoplanets, measuring chemical compositions and formation processes in the HR 8799 system.
