Astronomers discover the last three planets the Kepler telescope observed before going dark.
The next run will be the most sensitive search yet for gravitational waves.
Earth will meet a similar fate in 5 billion years.
The event was spotted in infrared data — also a first — suggesting further searches in this band could turn up more such bursts.
The observations will help astronomers pin down the physics of the plasma around black holes.
A new study shows that simple hand magnets erase a meteorite’s magnetic memory.
The 2D map of this “disk wind” may reveal clues to galaxy formation.
Saverio Cambioni discusses new results revealing the redirected asteroid Dimorphos to be a dust-trailing rubble-pile.
Current measurements of black holes are not enough to nail down how the invisible giants form in the universe, researchers say.
The observations could illuminate how supermassive black holes feed and grow.
Astronomers have found a way to determine an asteroid’s interior structure based on how its spin changes during a close encounter with Earth.
The stars circle each other every 51 minutes, confirming a decades-old prediction.
A “grazing encounter” may have smashed the moon to bits to form Saturn’s rings, a new study suggests.
Refining current opacity models will be key to unearthing details of exoplanet properties — and signs of life — in data from the powerful new telescope.
