Mega Jupiter discovered orbiting nearby star
Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have found a six times larger version of Jupiter, a mere 3.6 parsecs away.
Exoplanet-hunting telescope to begin search for another Earth in 2026
PLATO, or PLAnetary Transits and Oscillations of stars, is being built to find nearby potentially habitable worlds around Sun-like stars that we can examine in detail.
Opening up new ground in the search for dark matter
A proposed detector will allow physicists to cover uncharted territory in their search for elusive dark matter.
How astronomers are using pulsars to observe evidence of dark matter
Tantalising evidence of potential dark matter objects has been detected with the help of the Universe's 'timekeepers'.
New model unveils galaxy color-distance relationship for measuring cosmic structures
Scientists furnished a model for revealing what the color of a galaxy tells about its distance, to be used for measuring cosmic structures.
Astronomers find missing link in massive black hole formation
The discovery is the best candidate for a class of black holes astronomers have long believed to exist but have never found - intermediate-mass black holes formed in early stages of galaxy evolution.
Found with Webb: a potentially habitable world
A team of astronomers has made an exciting discovery about the temperate exoplanet LHS 1140 b: it could be a promising 'super-Earth' covered in ice or water.
Building materials for water-rich planets in the early solar system
Age data for certain classes of meteorite have made it possible to gain new findings on the origin of small water-rich astronomical bodies in the early solar system. These planetesimals continually supplied building materials for planets - also for the Earth, whose original material contained little water.
Fresh wind blows from historical supernova
Elusive temporary star described in historical documents recreated using new computer model, shows it may have recently started generating stellar winds.
Tiny bright objects discovered at dawn of universe baffle scientists
A recent discovery by the James Webb Space Telescope confirmed that luminous, very red objects previously detected in the early universe upend conventional thinking about the origins and evolution of galaxies and their supermassive black holes.
