Telescopes around the world have spotted a monster radio jet streaming from a quasar dating back to the first 1 billion years ...

From decades of astronomical observations, scientists know that most galaxies contain massive black holes at their centers.

Astronomers have characterized the largest-ever early-Universe radio jet. Historically, such large radio jets have remained elusive in the distant Universe. With these observations, astronomers have ...

If the near-Earth asteroid Bennu were to collide with Earth in the future, the space rock could cause substantial global damage, even though it’s a fraction of the size of the asteroid that wiped out ...

The extraordinary formations, each comparable in size to Earth’s Grand Canyon, are hidden on the far side of the moon — the side that always faces away from Earth — near the lunar south pole, where ...

A research team has discovered another piece in the puzzle of the formation of the Moon and water on Earth. The prevailing theory was that the Moon was the result of a collision between the early ...

Researchers have detected organic compounds and minerals necessary for life in unprecedented samples collected ...

The prevailing theory had been that the moon was the result of a collision between early Earth and the protoplanet Theia. New measurements indicate that the moon formed from material ejected from ...

Once upon a time, Earth was barren. Everything changed when, somehow, out of the chemistry available early in our planet's history, something started squirming – processing available matter to ...

The research suggests that the universe has become “messier and more complicated” over time, with a less clumpy distribution of matter.

Space agencies are keeping a close eye on a recently discovered asteroid that has a small chance of impacting Earth. Named 2024 YR4, the asteroid has a 1.2% chance of hitting our planet on December 22 ...
