Astronomers using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope have discovered a giant planet outside our solar system, called an exoplanet, hiding within one of the most intensely studied planetary systems in our Milky Way galaxy. The young, nearby star Beta Pictoris was already known to h

Astronomers have used the ages of more than 155,000 stars in the Milky Way to independently estimate the age of the universe, and their findings may be good news for the standard cosmological model. The new research was reported in a paper submitted to the arXiv preprint server o

Terzan 5 is a globular cluster with some unusual properties that have led a team of astronomers to suspect that it is more than meets the eye.

A new exoplanet model screens rocky worlds by their ability to retain atmospheres over geologic timescales, helping narrow the search for potentially habitable planets beyond Earth.
