Astronomers using the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope have found the most distant star ever discovered. The hot blue star existed only 4.4 billion years after the Big Bang. This discovery provides new insight into the formation and evolution of stars in the early Universe, the constituents of galaxy clusters and also on the nature of dark matter.
An international team of astronomers has discovered a planetary system containing at least three massive planets, orbiting the bright late-G/early-K-type dwarf star K2-229. What’s the most intriguing is that one of these extrasolar planets is a super-Earth class object with a Mercury-like composition.
What’s the matter with dark matter?
NASA’s Kepler Space Telescope has caught a kind of stellar explosion called a Fast-Evolving Luminous Transient (FELT) in the act.
A camera onboard the OSIRIS-REx spacecraft captured this image of the Pacific Ocean, Baja California in Mexico, and parts of the southwestern United States. The dark lines are missing data caused by short exposure times
China’s Tiangong-1 space station is about to return to Earth–as a massive fireball.
The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has taken a picture of the spiral galaxy NGC 5714.
