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.

Venus, Mars, Mercury, and Jupiter will align within the elliptical plane, offering a striking celestial display. This rare alignment is linked with significant astrological energy, potentially affecting emotions and relationships.

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 ...

"Because it's such a large supermassive black hole at the center, we'd predicted we'd see an elliptical galaxy." The spiral host galaxy, a quasar named J0742+2704, was discovered emanating a ...

The Hubble Space Telescope completes a high-resolution portrait of our galaxy's gorgeous neighbor, which will help scientists better understand our Milky Way.

Dec. 20, 2024 — One of the biggest mysteries in science -- dark energy -- doesn't actually exist, according to researchers looking to solve the riddle of how the Universe is expanding. For the ...

The alignment of seven planets in the night sky has captivated observers for centuries, inspiring awe and curiosity. This celestial event, commonly referred to as a planetary parade, is not just a visual spectacle but also a significant opportunity for scientific inquiry.

SpaceX is scheduled to launch its latest round of Starlink satellites into orbit on a Falcon 9 rocket on Monday, lifting off from the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. China's Chang'e 7 moon-landing mission will apparently include a flag that can flutter in the moon's thin and tenuous atmosphere.

In this episode, Dave Eicher invites you to go out and watch a close pairing of two naked-eye planets: Venus and Saturn. The two will be in the southwestern evening sky, and will be closest ...

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