Taejas Venkataraman explores what the discovery of white dwarf pollution can teach us about scientific investigation ...

3I/ATLAS is only the third known interstellar visitor, hence the prefix “3I.” The second known interstellar body, Comet 2I/Borisov, was discovered by the Russian astronomer Gennady Borisov in August ...

A first ever detection of a coronal mass ejection from a small red dwarf could have big consequences for life on any nearby ...

Far beyond Neptune, at the far outer rim of our Solar System, astronomers have spotted what looks like a hidden “structure” ...

The goal of the Thirty Metre Telescope project is to peer deeper into the cosmos than ever before, studying black holes, ...

Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have detected phosphine gas in the ancient brown dwarf Wolf 1130C, a discovery that contradicts years of predictions about how phosphorus behaves in ...

Tossing a bad guy into the Sun sounds simple enough, but orbital mechanics make it a far trickier task than you'd expect.

Astronomers have, for the first time, confirmed a colossal coronal mass ejection from a distant star, a blast so powerful it ...

This eruption was a Coronal Mass Ejection, or CME. These events are huge blobs of plasma (highly ionized gas) and magnetic fields that rip away from the Sun’s outermost layer of atmosphere.

For the first time, astronomers have followed a massive coronal mass ejection (CME) from a star other than our Sun as it ...

The obvious way to fire someone into the Sun is the direct approach, as shown in South Park Season 1. Point a rocket at the ...
