A team of astronomers spotted RBFLOAT, one of the brightest fast radio bursts ever seen, and traced it to a galaxy 130 million light-years away. Using CHIME's new Outrigger array, researchers pinpointed its origin to a spiral arm near a star-forming ...

Astronomers have spotted 3I/ATLAS, just the third interstellar object ever seen in our solar system. Bigger, faster, and possibly far older than 'Oumuamua or Borisov, this icy traveler could help unlock clues about how other star systems formed ...

Astronomers have discovered a new celestial object, a compact radio beacon located in the galaxy NGS 4945, about 12 million light-years away. Its light is polarized at an almost impossible level that hints at a perfectly aligned magnetic field. The . ...

Emma Stone has said she believes in aliens and that she agrees with and is intrigued by arguments made by astronomer Carl Sagan about extraterrestrial life.

New research suggests that large planets can accumulate enough black matter in their cores to spawn a destructive black hole.

Actor says she agrees with astronomer Carl Sagan that it is narcissistic to think there is no other life in universe ...

Could tiny stars a fraction the size of our solar system's Sun have habitable planets orbiting them? A new study says it's possible.
