About 50 light-years from Earth, a gas giant about half the mass of Jupiter orbits a sunlike star. The discovery of Pegasi 51 b ushered in a new era of exoplanet research.
Comet 3I/ATLAS has been transformed by billions of years of space radiation, James Webb Space Telescope observations reveal
The interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS has a thick irradiated crust that no longer resembles its home star system, simulations and James Webb Space Telescope observations have found.
Beaver Supermoon: The biggest, brightest full moon of the year rises tonight
November's full Beaver supermoon will occur on Nov. 5, but it will be best seen the following evening as it rises into the sky in the east.
Physicists detect rare 'second-generation' black holes that prove Einstein right... again
Physicists have analyzed two enormous black hole mergers that happened one month apart and have come up with tantalizing evidence that rare "second-generation" black holes were involved.
NASA spacecraft reveal interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS brightened rapidly as it swooped behind the sun
Interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS is briefly out of view as it travels around the sun this week, but researchers and amateur astronomers used spacecraft data to track its progress right up until perihelion.
