Astronomers found an interstellar "tunnel" - a cosmic channel that connects our solar system to distant stars, according to a ...

Once upon a time, the core of a massive star collapsed, creating a shockwave that blasted outward, ripping the star apart as it went. When the shockwave reached the star's surface, it punched through, ...

The intricate whorls and striations of dust that drift between the stars have just been revealed in stupefying detail. In new images from JWST, we're finally seeing exquisite details of the flow and ...

The James Webb Space Telescope captured a highly detailed snapshot of the so-called Pillars of Creation, a vista of three looming towers made of interstellar dust and gas that's speckled with newly ...

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope detected metallic iron dust, silicon carbide and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in the nearby dwarf galaxy Sextans A, revealing early dust formation processes.

NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope captured images of Lupus 3, showing T Tauri stars and gas-dust regions, providing data on early ...

Using NASA's James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers have spotted two rare kinds of dust in the dwarf galaxy Sextans A, one of the most chemically primitive galaxies near the Milky Way.

The Pleiades star cluster is slowly tearing a cloud of dust into cosmic tatters, and this new image from the Utah Desert Remote Observatory captured the beautiful destruction in action. For roughly ...

"I think of the civilizations in those galaxies looking back at the Milky Way." The word that comes to my mind: ethereal. And I agree with Mr. McGrew's poignant thought. Makes me want to go out and ...

A mysterious cigar-shaped object spotted tumbling through our solar system last year may have been an alien spacecraft sent to investigate Earth, astronomers from Harvard University have suggested.
