Astronomers caught a black hole tearing apart a star in the center of a galaxy about 290 million light years away from Earth.
During the past two decades, astronomers have discovered 300 “hot Jupiters,” but for the first time they’ve found one that has two close-in planetary companions.
A new star map includes the most comprehensive images anyone has ever seen of the Milky Way’s cold interstellar gas clouds where new stars are born.
Sibling suns and the planets around them may be more common than previously believed.

At “just” 335 light years away, HD 100546 is one of our near cosmic neighbors, and its age of five to ten million years makes it relatively young in astronomical terms.
New research cuts the estimated number of the most distant galaxies by 10 to 100 times.
A beautiful full moon is set to rise this Sunday night, August 10. It will be spectacular and I encourage everyone to go outside and have a look. But the question is: will it be a supermoon?
