CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — Telescope observations reveal a growing tail on the comet that’s visiting from another star. Released Thursday, the pictures taken by the Gemini South telescope in Chile late ...

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 ...

Spotting Earth-like planets is nearly impossible with conventional telescopes, but researchers propose a bold fix: a rectangular design that can separate a planet’s faint glow from its blinding star.

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 ...

"Sometimes it's the extreme objects that help us understand what's happening in the average ones." Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), astronomers have investigated a "failed star," or brown ...

The beams hint at the true scale of the massive star that spawned them. A massive star on the distant outskirts of our Milky Way galaxy is seen blowing a powerful cosmic blowtorch in a new image ...

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 ...

Webb, Hubble, and SPHEREx are joining forces to study the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS, revealing details about its structure and chemistry. The comet isn’t dangerous, but it’s offering scientists a ...
