A newly identified planet candidate, HD 137010 b, looks strikingly Earth-like in size and orbit -- but it may be colder than Mars due to its dimmer star. If it has a thick enough atmosphere, though, this icy world could still surprise us.
Things are much bigger outside the solar system.
Deep inside a nearby galaxy cloaked in thick clouds of gas and dust, astronomers have uncovered a surprising treasure trove of organic molecules using the James Webb Space Telescope. Peering through the cosmic veil in infrared light, researchers ...
Many collaborations have used JWST to take deep-field images: some wider and some deeper than others. Here's how it can surpass them all.Continue reading on Starts With A Bang! ยป
A distant star system with four super-sized gas giants has revealed a surprise. Thanks to JWST's powerful vision, astronomers detected sulfur in their atmospheres -- a chemical clue that they formed like Jupiter, by slowly building solid cores. That ...
As next-generation telescopes map this outer frontier, astronomers are bracing for discoveries that could reveal hidden planets, strange structures, and clues to the solar system's chaotic youth.
A star almost identical to our sun is nearing the end of its life in the Cygnus constellation, about 1000 light years away. Astronomers call this spectacle the Egg Nebula, or CRL 2688 for short. Hubble's most recent image provides a magnificent view ...
If we were to ever find alien life, breaking the news to the general public could be much more difficult than one might think.
