Now, astronomers have bumped up that number, putting the space rock’s odds of colliding with our planet at 2.3 percent. While the identification has triggered international planetary defense ...

For the first time, astronomers have succeeded in observing the magnetic field around a young star where planets are thought to be forming. The team was able to use dust to measure the three ...

Here’s how it works. Astronomers are trying to understand a mysterious cosmic explosion that the Einstein Probe spacecraft spotted in April last year. The highly energetic explosion was ...

Scientists have discovered an enormous radio galaxy 32 times the size of the Milky Way. They nicknamed it "Inkathazo," or "trouble," as the team struggles to understand the physics behind it.

The asteroid has ‘one of the highest probabilities of an impact from a significantly sized rock ever,’ an astronomer says (NASA) “Recently-discovered asteroid 2024 YR4 may make a very close ...

Each year the Observatories organizes a series of public lectures on current astronomical topics. These lectures are given by astronomers from the Carnegie Observatories as well as other research ...

The video has been shot from the Indian Astronomical Observatory in Hanle. Indian astronomer Dorje Angchuk has captured a breathtaking time-lapse video that showcases the Earth's rotation against ...

To better understand why the planets have variable compositions, we have to first understand the process of how stars form. While the composition of gas and dust in a precursor molecular cloud is ...

This year’s National Astronomy Week (NAW) will celebrate the best planet parade in 40 years across the first week of February. There will be over 250 events held around the country with ...
