Telescopes like the Vera C. Rubin Observatory and the James Webb Space Telescope have given astronomers unprecedented access to the cosmos, but even these advanced imaging systems come with ...

A famous comet visiting from outside our solar system known as 3I/ATLAS is blazing through our cosmic neighborhood, leaving a striking trail in its wake. A ground telescope in Chile recently glimpsed ...

Comet 3I/ATLAS is just the third observed interstellar object ever witnessed in Earth's solar system. The Gemini South telescope in Chile is the latest observatory to get a glimpse of the object as it ...

Scientists are observing an Earth-like exoplanet that may contain water using NASA's James Webb Space Telescope, the space agency said in a news release. The exoplanet, known as TRAPPIST-1 e, orbits ...

Chile is a hotspot for telescopes peering up into deep space to study structures like stars, black holes, dark matter and galaxies. In the high-altitude desert of northern Chile sits the Atacama Large ...

"We were amazed by the fact that these observatories can detect about 100 black holes just 250 million years after the Big Bang. Such detections would greatly help to constrain black hole formation ...

The James Webb Space Telescope captured an unprecedented look inside a vibrant and glittering cluster of newborn stars drifting in the cosmos — some nearly eight times hotter than the sun. The ...
