The enigmatic mauve and white streaks known as "Steve" and its accompanying glowing "picket fence" have been a mystery to scientists since their recognition as distinct phenomena in 2018.
In a recent study by University of Florida astronomer Adam Ginsburg, researchers have used the James Webb telescope (JWST) to uncover the mysterious dark region at the centre of our Milky Way galaxy, named "The Brick".
A groundbreaking revelation by scientists at the University of Leeds has the potential to reshape astronomers' understanding of some of the largest and most prevalent stars in the universe.
University of Michigan researchers have unveiled a cosmic phenomenon in dwarf galaxies, shedding light on their stellar productivity. Dwarf galaxies, less evolved than their massive counterparts, boast expansive star-forming regions and higher star formation rates.
In a groundbreaking study, astronomers led by Carnegie's Gwen Rudie and Northwestern University's Allison Strom uncovered unprecedented details about "teenage galaxies" that formed just 2 to 3 billion years after the Big Bang.
A groundbreaking recovery system developed by researchers at the University of Sydney has successfully salvaged data from a NASA mission to map dark matter surrounding galaxy clusters.
Recent breakthroughs in Mars exploration bring humanity closer to realising Mars immigration dreams. The key lies in overcoming the challenge of oxygen scarcity for long-term survival.
Scientists at Cornell University suggest that by examining Earth's Phanerozoic era, telescopes could improve the detection of potential signs of life on exoplanets.
During the 1980s, geography scientists found a remarkable revelation: they identified two massive, continent-sized masses of distinct material deep within the Earth's core.
The James Webb telescope, operated by NASA, recently observed the Crab Nebula, a remnant of a supernova explosion situated 6,500 light-years away in the Taurus constellation.
![Figure 1 - The figure illustrates the diversity and multi-scale nature of the structures in the Galaxy. The first two lines are real astronomical images, which go from the galactic disk itself and down to the planet-forming disks. The last two lines are generated from numerical simulations and aim to understand and interpret the observations.
