SPACEAstronomers using NASA's powerful Chandra X-Ray Observatory telescope may have recently discovered evidence of the first exoplanet circling a star outside of the Milky Way galaxy.
While scanning interstellar dust, astronomers discovered a massive hole in space. It's possible that the sphere-shaped phenomena explains how supernovae cause star formation.
A new study located an ancient brown dwarf called WISEA J153429.75-104303.3 or 'The Accident.' This unique brown dwarf could be the missing link between planets and stars, and possibly the key to solve the origins of the Milky Way galaxy.
There is no definite way of how a black hole forms in the universe, but the new high-powered simulation from the researchers of Northwestern University could shed light on how galaxies feed the supermassive black hole.
Just like humans, galaxies, such as the Milky Way, also tend to start chaotically, straightening themselves out into more recognizable shapes like spiral galaxies as they grow up and mature.
A huge structure was recently discovered in the Milky Way but such a discovery remains unidentifiable. Scientists have remained clueless about what they found.
Researchers closely studied a star 2,000 light-years away. It is not only moving fast but is also rotating as it hurtles out of the Milky Way. Researchers believe that it is likely a remnant of a star that went supernova.
A star, formally labeled as LP 40-365 has recently been spotted moving extraordinarily fast. An astronomy assistant professor described this as moving so fast that it nearly leaves the Milky Way.
A cloud larger than the Milky Way has been discovered in Abell 1367. The gas cloud has a mass of 10 billion suns and is located 330 million light-years from Earth in the constellation Leo.
This month, NASA is back with its top skywatching tips, offering up two thrilling treats to look out for. The tips comprise how to best watch Venus and the Milky Way.
Researchers from the University of Maryland used NASA's SOFIA telescope to capture the first clear view of an expanding bubble of hot plasma where stars are born.
