28 gorgeous nebula photos that capture the beauty of the universe
Nebulas — colorful clouds of expanding gas and dust — have long captivated stargazers with their beauty. Here are 28 of the most stunning nebulas in the universe.
James Webb telescope breaks own record, discovering farthest known galaxy in the universe
The James Webb Space Telescope has broken its own record once again, spotting the most distant, early galaxy in the known universe. The new contender is MoM-z14, a galaxy visible just 280 million years after the Big Bang.
Does light lose energy as it crosses the universe?
The speed of light is the fastest anything can travel. What happens to a photon from a galaxy 25 million light years away on its journey toward Earth?
When will the universe die?
The universe has been expanding for 13.8 billion years, but this may not go on forever. According to some theories, we may be accelerating toward a cataclysmic end.
The universe may be dying much faster than we thought
Astrophysicists have proposed a new theoretical maximum lifespan for the universe, which suggests that dead stars are decaying much faster than previously thought. The estimate of stellar remnant decay is based on Stephen Hawking's famous black hole radiation theory.
How many planets are in the universe?
We currently know of more than 5,800 planets beyond the solar system, but we've only found the tiniest fraction of the exoplanets that astronomers think lie elsewhere in the universe.
'We had less than a 2% chance to find this': James Webb telescope uncovers baffling 'Big Wheel', one of the most massive galaxies in the early universe
Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have discovered an object they've dubbed 'Big Wheel,' a gargantuan galaxy spinning through the early universe and growing larger by the second.
First data from Euclid space telescope reveals 26 million galaxies — and another 1.4 billion are on the way
The Euclid space telescope has spotted 26 million galaxies in just one week of observations.
Supercomputer runs largest and most complicated simulation of the universe ever
Frontier, the second fastest supercomputer in the world, used dark matter and the movement of gas and plasma rather than just gravity to model the observable universe.
Astronomers catch black holes 'cooking' their own meals in bizarre, endless feeding cycle
Black holes can actively regulate the material they consume, using powerful jets of gas blasted into space, according to a new study. It suggests many such cosmic beasts effectively "cook" their own meals.
