Dark matter isn’t visible to the human eye, or even telescopes, but there is an ingenious way to map its presence across the universe.

This Hubble image is composed of two different exposures which have been merged together, showing star BD+17 2217 shining over the background galaxy Arp 263.

Recently astronomers discovered a very unusual example of a white dwarf: one that seems to have one side composed of hydrogen and the other side of helium.

Last year, NASA deliberately crashed a spacecraft into an asteroid. Now, Hubble has observed that a number of boulders have been ejected from the asteroid.

Researchers used the James Webb Space Telescope to identify grains of dust from the early universe, which could have been produced by the earliest supernovas.

Two planets in one orbit? It could be possible, according to new research looking at planetary system PDS 70.

Nebulae are some of the most beautiful structures to be found in space. A new image from the Gemini South telescope shows an usual double-lobed nebula.

The molecules are associated with life but can be created by other processes. So they aren’t proof there was life there, but they are life’s building blocks.

Today marks the one-year anniversary of the first images from the James Webb Space Telescope, and to celebrate NASA has shared another gorgeous image of space.

The visualization shows a small part of a region called the Extended Groth Strip, covering 5,000 galaxies and zooming in toward the distant Maisie’s galaxy.

Metallic clouds reflect sunlight and have helped the unusual planet to retain its atmosphere.
