It was only one state senate race in Texas. Low-turnout, off-cycle elections are seldom good predictors of larger trends. And the Democrats had a better candidate: a working-class aircraft mechanic ...

Astronomers have discovered a vast, dense cluster of massive galaxies just 1 billion years after the Big Bang, each forming stars at an intense rate from collapsing clouds of dust. Reported in ...

Some of the biggest galaxies in the universe stopped making stars billions of years ago, and even today, no one fully understands why. This mystery is puzzling because many of these galaxies still ...

For decades, astronomers have known that supermassive black holes lurk at the hearts of essentially all large galaxies, occasionally feasting on infalling material and burping out powerful jets. But ...

This Hubble image showcases N159, a massive star-forming cloud where newborn stars blaze to life inside icy hydrogen gas. Their powerful radiation lights the cloud in red and sculpts giant bubbles ...

The discovery is the first direct observational confirmation of a theory for how young stars feed on, and then explosively expel, surrounding material. When you purchase through links on our site, we ...

Astronomers are drawing attention to a Christmas Tree-shaped cluster of stars glowing inside one of the Milky Way’s most active stellar nurseries. Known as the Cosmic Christmas Tree, the cluster sits ...

Researchers from Yunnan University, the Shanghai Astronomical Observatory (SHAO) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan have unveiled new insights into ...

Scientists Study Ancient Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS, Seeking Clues to Early Star System Formation The colour change reveals ancient carbon chemistry, offering rare insights into material formed ...

NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope is scheduled to conduct the Galactic Plane Survey to map the Milky Way’s structure and examine star formation across the galaxy. The survey, Roman’s first ...

New simulations of Milky Way-like galaxies reveal that the strange split between two chemically distinct groups of stars may arise from several very different evolutionary events. Bursts of star ...

Code Geass: Aspar the Star Chaser is the latest installment to the long-running series Code Geass, and was announced as one of the projects in the series dedicated to its twenty-first anniversary. The ...
