The Hubble Space Telescope is making waves again, this time for a snapshot of a spiral galaxy located 250 million light-years ...

The light that the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope collected to create this image reached the telescope after a journey of ...

The Hubble Space Telescope has once again provided astronomers with invaluable insights into the mysteries of the universe.

In October 2022, a blast of light from deep space outshone anything humanity has ever witnessed. The gamma-ray burst, later named “The BOAT,” unleashed more energy in seconds than our sun will emit in ...

The satellite spotted a mysterious 150-second X-ray flare, named EP240414a, from a dying star 4 billion light-years away.

A microquasar belonging to our Milky Way galaxy has set records by generating cosmic rays with energy levels never before ...

From the ISS, scientists are capturing rare lightning above storms that could impact radio, climate, and safety.

For years, astronomers puzzled over the mystery of where the heaviest elements in the universe—like gold, uranium, and platinum—come from. Scientists understood that these elements had to form under ...

We’ve known for nearly a century that UV radiation is linked to skin cancer, but modern advice about sunburn can be confusing ...

Loaded up with sensors to detect gamma rays, radio waves, visible light and more, the aircraft flew over storms in the Caribbean and Central America.

Gamma rays travel through the vacuum of space at the speed of light, with wavelengths so minuscule that they can pass through the space within the atoms of a detector.

But surprisingly, NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope detected none of the high-energy gamma-ray light those particles should produce. Share: Facebook Twitter Pinterest LinkedIN Email.
