Astronomers have witnessed evidence of an extremely violent collision between planets, and it resembles the event in Earth's history that created the moon.

The impetus for establishing a "Lunar Surface Moon Base" is that America is in a space race with China.

Astronomers have discovered that the birth of neutron stars with magnetic fields trillions of times stronger than Earth's magnetosphere is the "magic trick" behind superbright supernovas.

Our sun and a host of "solar twins" may have migrated away from the core of the Milky Way galaxy together long ago, potentially making the solar system more hospitable to life.

Merging black holes and neutron stars have unusual oval orbits prior to colliding and merging, which challenge the laws of physics.

A new image captured by the Very Large Telescope reveals stars and gas orbiting the "invisible giant" at the heart of our galaxy.

The interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS is unusually rich in alcohol — a chemical clue that could reveal how planets and icy bodies form around other stars.

A newly discovered comet is rapidly brightening and could become visible from Earth — if it survives an extreme close encounter with the sun on April 4.

Never-before-seen temperature and ion density measurements reveal that the effect of Jupiter's moons on its aurora are more complicated than scientists thought.
