Using the James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers have discovered that just 500 million years after the Big Bang, galaxies were already pumping heavy elements into the infant universe.

"It passes through our bodies, our cells and every living organism on the planet, yet we know surprisingly little about whether and how this invisible force affects the way our cells work."

This is looking like one nasty storm.

After more than 36 years in orbit and 1.7 million observations, Hubble continues to explore the universe and provide new insights into the cosmos.

Astronomers have discovered the first microblazar in the Milky Way, a black hole-powered particle accelerator that is blasting near-light-speed plasma jets at Earth.

Black holes come in a vast array of sizes, from many times the mass of the sun, up to billions of times the size of our star, but the "burps" they emit when feeding seem to be remarkably similar.

A spectacular wildflower bloom has transformed parts of Western Australia's normally arid landscape following months of unusually wet weather.

Using the X-ray spacecraft XRISM, astronomers have observed stellar winds from a hypermassive star feeding a neutron star.

NASA's Perseverance rover uncovered evidence of water interacting with rocks in Mars' Jezero Crater multiple times, including a period of hot groundwater activity.
