Something Mysterious Swept Over Our Entire Solar System, Scientists SayThe Radcliffe wave engulfed our Solar System around 14 million years ago, impacting Earth's environment and visibility in the sky.
JWST shocks the world with colliding neutron star discoveryColliding neutron stars, rather than supernovae, are likely responsible for the creation of heavy elements like gold and platinum.
Huge neutrino detector sees first hints of particles from exploding starsJapan's Super-Kamiokande observatory might be detecting neutrinos from supernovae, providing insights into extreme conditions and potential new physics in the Universe.

This dazzling NASA image shows the biggest super star cluster in our galaxyThe James Webb Space Telescope delivers unparalleled clarity in imaging space, revealing significant astronomical structures like the super star cluster Westerlund 1.
Carbon detected in galaxy observed 350m years after big bangAstronomers detect carbon in a galaxy just 350m years post-big bang, suggesting life conditions existed early in the universe.
Epic Gravity Lens Lines Up Seven-Galaxy ViewGravitational lensing enables deeper observations of the universe, providing multiple views of distant galaxies and valuable information about dark matter and dark energy.
Ask Ethan: Can a lumpy Universe explain dark energy?Dark energy is the dominant energy source in the Universe, making up about two-thirds of its total energy and driving accelerated cosmic expansion.
Most nearby young star clusters formed in three massive complexes - NatureMapping the origin of nearby young star clusters based on Gaia data and spectroscopic surveys. Supernovae from specific clusters formed the Local Bubble and nearby supershell.
