Brightness 'gap' in ancient star cluster reveals missing red dwarfs
Brightness 'gap' in ancient star cluster reveals missing red dwarfs Gaby Clark Scientific Editor Robert Egan Associate Editor Scientists from the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) in Baltimore, Maryland, sought to study one stellar subject and ended up finding something even more exciting. The team's results published today in Astronomy & Astrophysics. Using data from the European Space Agency's (ESA's) Euclid space telescope and NASA's Hubble Space Telescope, the team planned to...
'The mirror passed with flying colors': NASA just took its last look at the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope before launch
'The mirror passed with flying colors': NASA just took its last look at the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope before launch The next time we see Roman, it will be in Florida readying for launch. We just took one final look at NASA's Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, and now? It's officially ready for launch.
A cosmic case of mistaken identity that can only be solved right now
I’m certain scientists before me have thought this about their own era, but nonetheless, I think we are living in a wildly exciting time for galaxy research. Though US and UK research budgets might be doing the opposite, our understanding of the universe is rapidly expanding. In just the few years since its launch on Christmas 2021, the James Webb Space Telescope (what I prefer to call the Just Wonderful Space Telescope, or JWST) has transformed our understanding of what galaxies looked like...
Glittering star cluster image reveals missing patch of stars: 'We were not looking for the gap, but we found it'
Glittering star cluster image reveals missing patch of stars: 'We were not looking for the gap, but we found it' The new view captures an irregularity in how stars are distributed within NGC 6397. A gorgeous new portrait of an ancient star cluster reveals an unexpected imperfection: a visible gap in the brightness of its stars. The stunning image, taken by the European Space Agency’s (ESA) Euclid space telescope, captures NGC 6397 — one of the closest globular clusters to Earth.
2 giant 'super Earths' once orbited near Uranus and Neptune, messed up a bunch of moons, then vanished, new study hints
2 giant 'super Earths' once orbited near Uranus and Neptune, messed up a bunch of moons, then vanished, new study hints Our solar system may have hosted up to six giant planets in its first hundred million years, a new study suggests. The findings paint a more crowded picture of the early outer solar system than previously thought. Something doesn’t quite add up about the orbits of our solar system’s eight planets and their hundreds of moons, a new study hints.
Interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS is not an alien spacecraft: SETI hunt for 'technosignatures' comes up empty
Interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS is not an alien spacecraft: SETI hunt for 'technosignatures' comes up empty "The results from 3I/ATLAS show how realistic it is to detect a signal with the technology we have today." Sorry, true believers: It appears the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS is indeed just a comet. Radio astronomers recently hunted for "technosignatures" coming from 3I/ATLAS, which is just the third confirmed interstellar object ever seen in our solar system.
'Crystals' of space-time could be the origins of certain rare black holes, theoretical study hints
'Crystals' of space-time could be the origins of certain rare black holes, theoretical study hints By taking general relativity into higher dimensions, a trio of physicists has proven that a mathematical pattern of ripples in space-time geometry could give rise to naked singularities and microscopic black holes. A new theoretical study adds fresh support to the idea that a mathematical pattern of ripples in space-time geometry could give rise to naked singularities and microscopic black...
Astronomers discover the earliest known flickering quasar
Astronomers discover the earliest known flickering quasar Gaby Clark Scientific Editor Andrew Zinin Lead Editor A supermassive black hole lies at the heart of every galaxy, including the Milky Way. When a black hole is active, it pulls material in as a whirlpool of high-temperature gas and dust. As this cosmic material piles up and falls onto a black hole, it lights up its vicinity, radiating a huge amount of energy.
Hidden supermassive black hole pairs may finally have a visible signal
Hidden supermassive black hole pairs may finally have a visible signal - Date: - June 5, 2026 - Source: - University of Oxford - Summary: - Scientists have proposed a new method for finding tightly bound supermassive black hole pairs by searching for stars that flash repeatedly as their light is magnified by the black holes’ gravity. The timing and brightness of these bursts could provide a unique fingerprint of black holes slowly spiraling toward a future collision. Astronomers from the...

Meteor streaks across the sky above big observatory | Space photo of the day for June 5, 2026 Searing across the night sky, a meteor puts on a spectacular show above Arizona's Kitt Peak National Observatory. Searing across the night sky, a meteor puts on a spectacular show above a powerful observatory. The meteor's blaze was captured above the U.S. National Science Foundation's (NSF) Kitt Peak National Observatory (KPNO).
