A giant hydrogen bridge is connecting two dwarf galaxies
The discovery marked a significant step forward in understanding how galaxies interact.
Gas location, not quantity, drives star formation in galaxies
The findings give new insights into how stars are born from gas.
Mystery solved: Why do carbon-rich asteroids rarely become Earth meteorites?
The most comprehensive study of its kind.
The first high-resolution map of a massive explosion
A gas outflow so large that it would take 20,000 years for light to travel from one side to the other.
Polarised shock waves shake the Universe’s cosmic web
Tantalising evidence of magnetic fields in the universe’s largest cosmic structures.
Astronomers may have uncovered how galaxies change their shape
The study may have answered a decades-old question about galaxy evolution.
Most comprehensive image of radio emission from the nearest black hole
The eruption now extends eight degrees across the sky.
New technique to detect active black holes in the Universe
Astronomers just got better at finding bright black holes.
Classifying tens of thousands of galaxies in just a few seconds
A task that usually takes months to accomplish.
Scientists detected the largest supernova remnant ever
Scientists find the largest supernova remnant by looking in right place.

Astronomers turn up the heavy metal to shed light on star formation.
Astronomers did not found any signs of alien tech in 10 million star systems
The exploration was more broadly than any previous search for extraterrestrial life.
FRBs solved a decades-old mystery of missing matter
From measurements of the Big Bang, astronomers have an idea about how much matter there was at the beginning of the Universe. Its been...
The space-time being dragged around a rapidly-rotating exotic star
