Recently found: two nearby, intriguingly puffy planets that will make ideal targets for future observations.
Astrobites reports on recent black hole mass measurements and what they say about how black holes may have formed in the early universe.
A recent study has used bursts of radio emission to probe whether the outskirts of our galaxy are hiding vast quantities of “missing” baryonic matter.
Combining Gaia data with the HR diagram — a plot of star colors and brightnesses — can tell us new things about the lives of stars.
