In a new study, researchers from Pennsylvania State University and NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California analyzed the characteristics of human deep-space signal transmissions, propo...

Astronomers from Seoul National University in Korea and other institutions have reported the discovery of 62 new luminous quasars as part of the "All-Sky Bright Quasar Survey" (AllBRICQS) project. A...

The Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) has reviewed data collected from near-Earth asteroids Bennu and Ryugu, supporting the hypothesis that they originally belonged to the Polana collisional family ...

Physicists at the University of Copenhagen are utilizing the enormous magnetic fields of galaxy clusters to explore distant black holes in search of axions, this elusive particle that may be key to u...

Understanding the early universe is a major goal in space science, with scientists dedicated to exploring how nature evolved from the superheated plasma after the Big Bang into a structured cosmos. Am...

Recent studies on Chang'e-6 lunar samples have yielded new discoveries. Chinese scientists, through research on basalt samples collected by Chang'e-6 from the Moon's far side, have revealed an "ul...

Astronomers have recently announced the discovery of an astonishingly massive black hole, with a mass approaching the theoretical limit for the universe and 10,000 times heavier than the black hole at...

An international team of astronomers led by the University of Texas at Austin's Cosmic Frontier Center has discovered the most distant confirmed black hole to date. It and its host galaxy, CAPERS-LRD...

A new study from the University of St Andrews suggests that massive free-floating planets may have the ability to form their own miniature planetary systems without the involvement of a star. The rese...

Scientists are working to explore how to identify land on exoplanets in order to gain a deeper understanding of whether these distant worlds could harbor life. The latest research focuses on distingui...

Scientific progress often stems from the desire to explore the unknown. In astronomy and space science, the National Academies periodically produce "decadal surveys" to set priorities for discipline...

Black holes, the most gravitationally dominant objects in the universe, dramatically warp surrounding spacetime and, when disturbed, produce detectable gravitational waves in quasi-normal modes. These...
