This week, we see Earth’s auroras, a spacecraft’s view of our planet, and a pioneering photograph of the Orion Nebula. Farther afield, intricate layers of Martian rock preserve clues to ancient climate cycles, while JWST uses a massive galaxy cluster as a cosmic magnifying glass to reveal distant galaxies in extraordinary detail.
Astronomers have launched a citizen science initiative to uncover hidden black holes in the Milky Way. Volunteers will comb through vast NASA telescope archives to identify key gravitational signatures.
Astronomers using China's FAST radio telescope have discovered a compact hydrogen cloud devoid of visible stars. Containing nearly 500,000 solar masses of neutral hydrogen, it represents one of the strongest candidates yet for an isolated dark galaxy.
An astronomer from the University of Missouri is leading 130 researchers across 62 institutions, including NASA, Caltech, Princeton, and Harvard. The ambitious mission aims to capture an unprecedented view of the early universe.
Astronomers have solved the mystery behind the musical treble clef-shaped radio formation located beyond the Milky Way's Zone of Avoidance. New research confirms that this peculiar cosmic structure is a rare radio phoenix.
