Researchers armed with a new "photonic lantern" device have discovered an unexpectedly asymmetrical disk of gas swirling around a mysterious star 162 light-years from Earth. The new technology could revolutionize ground-based astronomy,

Interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS has been flying around the sun to reach perihelion (its closest point to the sun) on Thursday (October 30), passing just inside the orbit of Mars.

The highly anticipated interstellar comet is currently invisible from Earth and completely hidden by the Sun's glare.

Starfront Observatories allows amateur astronomers to rent a spot for their telescopes and photograph the cosmos over a high-speed data connection.

Physicist Avi Loeb sheds light on a recent study which observes the interstellar object glowing brighter than before and becoming bluer than the Sun

Whether you're an aspiring star gazer or an experienced observer, save on a new telescope during Amazon Prime Big Deal Days

A UCLA-led team has achieved the sharpest-ever view of a distant star’s disk using a groundbreaking photonic lantern device on a single telescope—no multi-telescope array required. This technology splits incoming starlight into multiple channels,

November’s night skies are grand, festive and bright in many places, quiet and contemplative in others. Both tempers are shown at once: the noisy, showy Milky Way crowds the north with its starry

When evaluating possible planets out of the thousands out there, explained Prof. Bean, scientists look for liquid water as a main guiding principle. “All life on Earth needs liquid water, no matter how different it looks;

More than a thousand years ago, astronomers from the Maya civilization developed one of the most sophisticated time-keeping systems in the ancient world—a system that could predict solar eclipses for centuries without using telescopes or computers.
