Astronomers have discovered a rare group of five dwarf galaxies located relatively close to Earth; these galaxies exist in a near-perfect alignment, resembling a string of cosmic pearls in the sky.

Scientists have come a step closer to understanding how collisionless shock waves -- found throughout the universe -- are able to accelerate particles to extreme speeds. Scientists have come a ...

Astronomers viewing a cosmic end-of-life tableau have spotted shards of dead planets swirling around a dying star that is enveloped in a glowing gas shell 1. Scientists have previously found old ...

As the star spins, these beams sweep past Earth and produce periodic pulses of radio waves, much like a cosmic lighthouse. This behaviour has earned them the name “pulsars”. Pulsars typically ...

Get Instant Summarized Text (Gist) A cosmic object, ASKAP J1839-0756, challenges current understanding of neutron stars by emitting radio pulses every 6.5 hours, far slower than typical pulsars ...

It's officially that time of the year: our skin is itchy, scaly, and more closely resembles a lizard than a dewy, glazed donut. You likely have a dozen barrier-repairing lip balms and thick hand ...

New research suggests that most of the atoms within the human body likely spent part of their lives drifting beyond the Milky Way on a cosmic "conveyor belt," before eventually returning to our ...
