Here’s how it works. Astronomers are trying to understand a mysterious cosmic explosion that the Einstein Probe spacecraft spotted in April last year. The highly energetic explosion was ...

A nuclear weapon could potentially be sent into space to deflect an asteroid heading Earth's way, an astronomer has told Sky News. Dr David Whitehouse said the measure could be taken against a ...

And yes, that makes it the only one of more-than 37,000 known large space rocks near Earth with such odds. But astronomers who are keeping a close eye on the asteroid, dubbed 2024 YR4, expect that the ...

Astronomers are making further observations and refining calculations for future orbits of Asteroid 2024 YR4. By Friday, the impact probability edged upward to 1.6 percent. That did not surprise ...

It's ironic to feel grounded while staring at the cosmos from a ship deck in Arctic waters, but that's the peculiar magic of chasing the Northern Lights aboard Hurtigruten's MS Midnatsol.

The video has been shot from the Indian Astronomical Observatory in Hanle. Indian astronomer Dorje Angchuk has captured a breathtaking time-lapse video that showcases the Earth's rotation against ...

A new simulation suggests how it ended up there. Astronomers zoomed in on a stellar behemoth in the Larger Magellanic Cloud, a galaxy that orbits about 160,000 light-years from the Milky Way.

"For such a faint and unknown target, we were not sure if we would get any data at all — but the strategy worked." Astronomers studying elusive supermassive black holes at the hearts of galaxies ...

Astronomers have been monitoring the black hole for years, primarily since 2018 when the mass was observed changing its properties with a major X-ray outburst. Between 2022 and 2024, astronomers ...

An international team of astronomers has reported the detection of a new exoplanet orbiting a bright late F-type star. The newfound alien world, designated TOI-6038 A b, is about six times larger ...

One supermassive black hole has kept astronomers glued to their scopes for the last several years. First came a surprise disappearance, and now, a precarious spinning act. The black hole in ...
