The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) recently made a significant discovery in the early universe by identifying three massive "red monster" galaxies. These galaxies, each 100 billion times the mass of our sun, were...

Anna Von Mertens, a visual artist, has delved into the life and work of astronomer Henrietta Swan Leavitt in her book, "Attention Is Discovery." Leavitt, known as a "human computer," meticulously studied glass plate...

The final supermoon of 2024, known as the Beaver Moon, is set to rise on November 15. This full moon will be 100% illuminated, but the best time to see it from North America...

The Milky Way is a massive galaxy that attracts smaller "satellite galaxies" to orbit around it. These satellite galaxies, which contain only a few billion stars, have been captured by the Milky Way's gravitational...

A mysterious volcanic comet known as 29P/Schwassmann-Wachmann has recently experienced its largest outburst in over three years, according to researchers. This city-size comet, spanning around 37 miles across, has unleashed four major eruptions in...

A recent discovery by astronomers has shed light on the collision of two neutron stars, resulting in the creation of the smallest black hole ever observed. This cosmic event took place 130 million light-years...

Primordial black holes (PBHs) have been a topic of interest among physicists for quite some time. These black holes are believed to have formed shortly after the Big Bang and may be smaller than...

Uranus, the coldest planet in our solar system, has a fascinating moon called Miranda. Back in 1986, NASA's Voyager 2 spacecraft captured images of Miranda's southern hemisphere, revealing a variety of geological features like...

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has made a remarkable discovery in the early universe, revealing a supermassive black hole named LID-568 that is feeding at an incredibly fast rate. This finding challenges current...

An extraordinary discovery in the world of astronomy has given scientists a unique opportunity to peer deep into the universe. A galaxy cluster, known as the Carousel Lens, has created a stunning gravitational lens...
