New analysis of radio telescope data links the shape of galaxies to the supermassive black holes they host.

Two new studies show that the majority of meteorites originate from just one family of asteroids between Mars and Jupiter.

Earth’s tilt means the Sun both rises earlier and sets later as we head towards summer.

A large space rock will be temporarily captured by Earth’s gravity throughout October and November.

Today we’re able to finally reveal the first detailed picture of the gas shroud around a galaxy, extending 100,000 light years out into ‘empty’ space.

What’s so special about a supermoon? Hardly anything. There are better things to observe in the night sky, according to a professional astronomer.

Neutron stars contain some of the universe’s most exotic states of matter – but there’s no easy way to peek inside.

Astronomers and stargazers around the world are excited to witness a rare event that only happens once every 80 years – a recurrent nova.

When astronomers focused on the galaxy NGC 4383, they didn’t expect the data to be so spectacular. This is the first detailed map of gas flowing from this galaxy as stars burst within.

Astronomers caught the bizarre ‘awakening’ of an incredibly rare magnetic star.

Textbooks often show Earth’s orbit around the Sun as an almost egg-shaped ellipse. The real story is very different.

The largest study yet of ‘twin stars’ shows planetary orbits may be less stable than we thought.

Deep-sea sediments show how the changing orbits of Earth and Mars are linked to past global warming and the speeding up of deep-ocean eddies.

With the help of a magnifying glass 4 million lightyears wide, astronomers may have solved the riddle of what burned away the hydrogen fog that pervaded the early universe.

The black hole J0529-4351 is 500 trillion times brighter than the Sun.
