Jets are a natural consequence of star formation. When gas collapses to form a young star, angular momentum builds rapidly. That momentum must be removed…

Observations of small bodies on hyperbolic orbits provide direct evidence of material formed outside the solar system. Comet 3I/ATLAS is one such object. Identified through…

Modern astronomy relies on precision. Distance measurements, spectral analysis, and high-resolution imaging define how scientists interpret the universe. Visual appearance alone rarely tells the full…

High-contrast imaging with the Hubble Space Telescope has revealed direct evidence of large-scale collisions in the Fomalhaut planetary system. Using multi-epoch optical data, astronomers identified…

Star formation inside massive clusters remains one of the most difficult problems in modern astrophysics. Dense gas, extreme radiation, and intense stellar winds obscure the…

Recently, NASA achieved something astronomy had never done before. A single space telescope mapped the entire sky in infrared light using 102 distinct wavelength bands….

Interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS passed through the inner solar system only briefly. During its passage in December 2025, astronomers used two X-ray observatories to study it…

The Hubble Space Telescope has captured a galaxy in the middle of a slow but powerful transformation. The galaxy is NGC 4388, a spiral system…
