The Princeton-led NASA mission has officially begun its science mission to study the sun and everything it touches. Princeton marked the occasion with a panel discussion, science talks and a reception ...

Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have spotted the most distant “jellyfish galaxy” ever seen — a cosmic oddity streaming long, tentacle-like trails of gas and newborn stars as it speeds ...

Ripples in the fabric of space-time called gravitational waves may be the key to solving the Hubble tension — one of the biggest nagging problems in physics.

Now physicists from the University of Washington are taking a big swing at answering that question. All matter exerts gravitational force. The more mass the object has, the greater the force. Yet, a ...

Astronomers have long known the universe is expanding—but exactly how fast remains one of the biggest mysteries in cosmology. Different techniques for measuring the Hubble constant stubbornly disagree ...

Each year, Space Science Week brings together leaders across the space science disciplines to explore the latest developments and discuss the future of the field from a variety of perspectives, from ...

NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope got a rare look at the aftermath of two cosmic collisions — and helped scientists solve a decades-old mystery. Many years ago, scientists saw a dense, bright spot near a ...

Hints of a mirror cosmos have a way of gripping the imagination, and recent chatter about “first proof” of a parallel universe has pushed that fascination back into the spotlight. Behind the viral ...

Space Science Week is the joint meeting of the Space Studies Board of the U.S. National Academies discipline committees in collaboration with the Aeronautics and Space Engineering Board and Board on ...

An astrophysicist explains what wormholes are and how these theoretical space-time tunnels have popped up in the solutions to a set of decadesold equations.

Space: the final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship "Parenthood." Its continuing mission: to explore strange new streaming services; to seek out cartoons about space; to boldly go where ...
