In May 2024, the Sun put on a powerful display of solar storms, and researchers have examined the source of all this activity to understand why.
New simulations suggest the outer solar system could disassemble within about one billion years after the Sun becomes a white dwarf.
An Early Discovery by Rubin Observatory
Astrobites reports on the discovery of a new ultra-faint dwarf galaxy in preview data taken before the start of Vera C. Rubin Observatory’s 10-year survey.
New radio observations provide the best view yet of the WISPIT 2 planetary system, revealing spiral wakes driven by a growing young planet.
Researchers use stellar pulsations to detect substellar companions around A-type stars — including what could be a first-of-its-kind exoplanet.
Handwritten eclipse observations and sketches of solar prominences from 1733 offer researchers a rare window into a data-poor period of solar history.
Astrobites reports on a hunt for evidence of a universal initial mass function using JWST observations of local relic galaxy Boötes I.
See the famous Crab Nebula in a whole new way: researchers have mapped the 3D kinematic structure of the nebula and investigated a jet-like feature emerging from the expanding shell.
A recent study has found that the observed mass–eccentricity relation of warm Jupiters can be explained by dynamical interactions between planets in these systems.
