For the first time, astronomers have traced a fast radio burst (FRB) to the outskirts of an ancient, dead, elliptical galaxy—an unprecedented home for a phenomenon previously associated with much younger galaxies.

These FRBs, named FRB 20240209A, are located outside of the massive ancient elliptical galaxy it is associated with that only contains old and dead stars, Shah said. Using the James Webb Space ...

Hubble Space Telescope mapped Andromeda, revealing a chaotic history shaped by mergers. A 2.5-billion-pixel mosaic shows 200 million stars.

The Bennu discovery helps to illuminate how, early in the Solar System’s history, asteroids and other planetary building blocks were not just “lumps of stone and ice, but active ‘living’ objects”, says Yasuhito Sekine, a planetary scientist at the Earth-Life Science Institute in Tokyo who wrote a News & Views article accompanying the Nature paper.

The discovery of a planet that is just 20 light-years away has been said to be the closest Earth analogue that scientists have ever uncovered.

Earth”, which could be home to alien life. The planet, known as HD 20794d, orbits in the habitable zone of a star similar to the sun, and is 20 light years away from our solar system - making it a close neighbour in a galaxy that spans 105,

First up is the Andromeda Galaxy, our closest neighbour in the cosmos, featuring stunning spiral arms and a vibrant central core. Next is the Whirlpool Galaxy, a breathtaking spiral with a ...

Venus and Saturn are in the west; Jupiter lies overhead; and Mars is in the east. Opportunities to see so many easy-to-spot planets don’t come around too often, so go out and have a look.

It took two years for NASA's OSIRIS-REx space probe to return from asteroid Bennu before dropping off a small capsule as it flew past Earth, which was then recovered in the desert of the U.S. state of Utah on September 24,

An ultra-deep image from the National Science Foundation's Dark Energy Camera reveals a wide variety of galaxies in the unusual Antlia Cluster.
