The James Webb Space Telescope has revealed a rare "Einstein ring," revealing two distant galaxies in an optical illusion ...

Now a team of astronomers, led by NMSU's Kelly N. Sanderson, has detected another galaxy of this rare type. Using VLA, they have observed a source in the sky with extended radio emission ...

In addition to the exoplanet’s polar orbit, the brown dwarf pair itself is extraordinarily rare. They form an eclipsing ...

Be careful out there, astronomers: There could be a dark galaxy in our midst. In research published today in Science Advances, researchers from the Chinese National Academy of Sciences discovered ...

Instead, J1249+36 was spied as it tore across the galaxy at its 372 miles per second ... the star was discovered to be an L subdwarf, which is a rare type of low-mass, low-temperature star ...

This new NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope Picture of the Month features a rare cosmic phenomenon called an Einstein ring. What at first appears to be a single, strangely shaped galaxy is ...

Astronomers have long predicted that two orbiting white dwarfs are the cause of most type 1a supernova explosions. While the pair are in close orbit, the heavier of the two theoretically accumulates ...

Scientists have discovered two rare white dwarfs—which are among the ... compositional "faces" as they spin, resembling one type of white dwarf in one moment and another type in another.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — Europe’s Euclid space telescope has detected a rare halo of bright light around a nearby galaxy, astronomers reported Monday. The halo, known as an Einstein ring ...
