The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has teamed up with the MeerKAT radio telescope array to explore how magnetic fields ...

"Could our galaxy one day experience similar high-energy phenomena that will have serious consequences for the survival of precious life in it?" ...

Astrophysicists have teased a hellish potential future in which life on Earth is extinguished by deadly radiation from the supermassive black hole at the heart of the Milky Way.

And now, thanks to the Hubble Space Telescope and the Gaia observatory, the mystery surrounding one Milky Way magnetar, ...

Scientists have been left baffled after spotting a lone black hole drifting through the Milky Way, without any orbiting stars. Although this black hole is seven times more massive than our sun ...

Astronomers have spotted two hefty white dwarf stars - highly compact stellar embers - orbiting close together that appear destined to die in an extraordinarily violent quadruple detonation.

While this halo slowly cools over time, the black hole's jets act like a cosmic oven, preventing the formation of new stars despite the presence of abundant star-forming material. Our Milky Way ...
