Discover 3I/ATLAS, an interstellar comet with a reddish hue, rich in water ice, and possibly predating the solar system.

NASA’s Juno spacecraft has unveiled an exciting breakthrough: the discovery of an entirely new type of plasma wave near ...

A giant exoplanet has just been confirmed about 400 light-years from Earth. Named TOI-4465 b, it stands out with a mass six times greater than Jupiter's and unusual orbital characteristics.

Based on the comet's brightness and current distance — it's located just inside Jupiter's orbit — scientists estimate its ...

When NASA 's Hubble Space Telescope snapped a picture of an elliptical galaxy, it caught something else in the frame: A bright, red arc of light wrapped around it. That glowing curve isn't the ...

Here we see light from a distant galaxy following the curve of spacetime created by the elliptical galaxy's mass.

Galaxies come in many different variations, but astronomers classify them into four main types: spiral, elliptical, irregular and peculiar.

Type c-D elliptical galaxies are a subtype of giant elliptical galaxies and are characterized by a large halo of stars. Lenticular galaxies are an intermediate galaxy between elliptical galaxies and ...

However, not all spiral galaxies are created equal, as two recent images from the Hubble Space Telescope show. The image above shows galaxy NGC 3596, a neat and orderly spiral galaxy.

Cosmic Guitar Elliptical galaxy NGC 3561B (upper left) and spiral galaxy NGC 3561A (lower right) form a shimmering guitar shape in the ongoing merger known collectively as Arp 105.

Enjoy dark skies for evening observing, then catch a meteor shower and a planetary conjunction in the morning sky this week.

The image has been released as part of celebrations to commemorate Hubble's 35th anniversary this year.
