Since it turned on, the James Webb Space Telescope has revealed dozens of mysterious red blobs in space. The so-called Little ...

An unusual tidal disruption event spotted by astronomers may be the result of an elusive intermediate mass black hole ripping apart a star.

An organic molecule called methanimine was found scattered throughout a dense clump of gas and dust 554 light-years away.

In 2014, a NASA telescope observed that the infrared light emitted by a massive star in the Andromeda galaxy gradually grew brighter. The star glowed more intensely with infrared light for around ...

Intense radiation emitted by active supermassive black holes—thought to reside at the center of most, if not all, galaxies—can slow star growth not just in their host galaxy, but also in galaxies ...

Hubble captures a dying star cracking open the dazzling, dust-filled Egg Nebula in a rare cosmic transformation.

Understanding how massive stars evolve and return energy, momentum, and metals to their surroundings is a central problem in astrophysics, with far-reaching ...

Astronomers have reported one of the longest stellar dimming events ever recorded, with a Sun-like star fading by 97 percent for nearly 200 days. Astronomers believe one of the longest stellar dimming ...

Flowers are more than just beautiful structures—they are essential organs for plant reproduction. Nearly 90% of flowering plant species rely on animal pollinators to transfer pollen and ensure ...

Using archival data from NASA’s NEOWISE mission along with data from other space and ground-based observatories, astronomers identified the clearest observational record yet of a massive star fading ...
