As the University of Arkansas at Little Rock prepares to reopen its newly renovated planetarium in fall 2026, excitement is building across campus for the return of a beloved landmark and the ...

Astronomers using the MeerKAT radio telescope in South Africa have discovered the most distant hydroxyl megamaser ever detected. It is located in a violently merging galaxy more than 8 billion ...

Standing inside a dome in Citadel Mall, under a simulated sky, it’s easy to forget how remarkable that is: a city known for its past now helping shape curiosity about the future. The Charleston ...

Deep inside a dust-choked galaxy, astronomers have uncovered a chemical environment far more complex than expected.

Astro Brief is a collaboration between KSMU, the Missouri Space Grant, and MSU's Department of Physics, Astronomy and ...

A newly detected X-ray transient may reveal the first direct evidence of an intermediate-mass black hole consuming a white dwarf. A newly observed cosmic outburst is giving astronomers a rare glimpse ...

Supercomputer simulations identify stellar rotation as the mechanism driving chemical mixing in red giants, explaining long-observed surface composition changes during stellar evolution.

Astronomers tracking the giant star WOH G64, located in the Large Magellanic Cloud roughly 160,000 light-years from Earth, have detected a series of physical changes so dramatic that some researchers ...

A global team led by UMass Amherst identified dusty, star-forming galaxies nearly 13 billion years old, bridging gaps between early ultrabright and quiescent galaxies in the universe.

Supercomputer simulations have helped astronomers solve a decades-old mystery about red giant stars. Researchers say stellar rotation is the missing link explaining how chemical elements from deep ...

An international team of scientists led by the Institute of Cosmos Sciences at the University of Barcelona (ICCUB) and the Institute of Space Studies ...

That distinction, survival versus livability, is the hard truth behind headlines about stars consuming planets. A world does not need to be swallowed to become uninhabitable. Long before any terminal ...
