For the first time, astronomers have traced a fast radio burst (FRB) to the outskirts of an ancient, dead, elliptical galaxy—an unprecedented home for a phenomenon previously associated with much younger galaxies.

These FRBs, named FRB 20240209A, are located outside of the massive ancient elliptical galaxy it is associated with that only contains old and dead stars, Shah said. Using the James Webb Space ...

Huge breakthrough in the search for aliens: NASA discovers a 'super Earth' exoplanet just 20 light-years away that could have the right conditions to support life For millennia, humans have asked whether we are alone in the universe, yet the discovery of aliens still eludes us.

ESA’s decade-long Milky Way Gaia mapping mission still has tons of data to release over the next few years. Expect surprises.

The alignment of seven planets in the night sky has captivated observers for centuries, inspiring awe and curiosity. This celestial event, commonly referred to as a planetary parade, is not just a visual spectacle but also a significant opportunity for scientific inquiry.

An exoplanet is a planet outside our solar system that usually orbits a star in our galaxy. More than 7,000 have been found in the Milky Way since the first confirmed discovery in the 1990s, and "billions more remain to be discovered", said Tech Explorist.

For millennia, humans have asked whether we are alone in the universe, yet the discovery of aliens still eludes us. But if extraterrestrials do exist, scientists have found a promising location for where they could be hiding.

Venus and Saturn are in the west; Jupiter lies overhead; and Mars is in the east. Opportunities to see so many easy-to-spot planets don’t come around too often, so go out and have a look.

Then, just a few days later on February 2nd, you can witness the conjunction of the Moon and Venus, when they appear just "half a fist" apart. In our jargon-free guide, we explain just what makes ...

The Hubble Space Telescope completes a high-resolution portrait of our galaxy's gorgeous neighbor, which will help scientists better understand our Milky Way.

The Galaxy S25 Ultra starts at $1,300 like last year's Galaxy S24 Ultra. As the largest and most expensive phone in Samsung's Galaxy S lineup, it includes a bigger 6.9-inch screen, a high ...
