A galaxy in the early universe was rich with oxygen, astronomers have found. The discovery raises questions about how early ...

We currently know of more than 5,800 planets beyond the solar system, but we've only found the tiniest fraction of the exoplanets that astronomers think lie elsewhere in the universe.

It’s evidence that rocky planets actually can form in galaxies with much less metal in their makeup than our Milky Way – and could have formed in galaxies in our Universe’s distant past.

Interest in steam world exoplanets really heated up in October 2024 when the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) discovered the ...

The origins of the Universe have fascinated humanity for centuries, driving us to explore the deepest mysteries of existence.

Here’s how it works. NASA's James Webb Space Telescope is able to detect the most distant, highest-redshift galaxies ever seen, which existed when the universe was just 200-400 million years old.

This article details our understanding of star and planet formation within galaxies, recognising the dynamic nature of ...

Euclid can see rogue planets four times the size of Jupiter. Galaxy clusters like Abell 2390, with over 50,000 galaxies, will be studied.

Fresh results from near-infrared instruments foretell a bright future for finding life elsewhere in the Milky Way ...
