Pictoris是一个年轻的行星系统，位于63光年之外，即使经过几十年的深入研究，它仍继续引起科学家的兴趣。它拥有第一个围绕另一颗恒星成像的尘埃盘——一个由小行星、彗

研究人员已经朝着寻找液体溶剂迈出了第一步，这种液体溶剂有朝一日可能有助于从月球和火星岩石灰尘中提取关键的建筑材料，这是使长期太空旅行成为可能的重要组成部分。利用机器

天文学家罕见地发现了一颗小型寒冷的系外行星及其巨大的外伴星，为类似地球的行星的形成提供了线索。这些发现包括一颗半径和质量介于地球和海王星之间的行星，其围绕主恒星的潜

马里兰州格林贝尔特市美国国家航空航天局戈达德太空飞行中心的研究人员发现了X射线活动，揭示了星系的演化。X射线勾勒出附近螺旋星系NGC 4945中巨大的冷气体云。大约500万年

一个全球天文学家小组创造了有史以来最敏感的球状星团射电图像，球状星团是一个由致密恒星组成的古老球体。这张照片是夜空中第二亮的球状星团47 Tucanae的照片，由西澳大利亚国

The central question in the ongoing hunt for dark matter is: what is it made of? One possible answer is that dark matter consists of particles known as axions. A team of astrophysicists, led by researchers from the universities of Amsterdam and Princeton,

Astronomers have gotten very good at spotting the signs of planet formation around stars. But for a complete understanding of planet formation, we also need to study examples where planet formation has not yet started. Looking for something and not findin

Observations during two flybys by the Mio spacecraft as part of the BepiColombo International Mercury Exploration Project have revealed that chorus waves occur quite locally in the dawn sector of Mercury. Mercury's magnetic field is about 1% of that of E

An unexpectedly high number of young stars has been identified in the direct vicinity of a supermassive black hole and water ice has been detected at the center of our galaxy.

The Milky Way is often depicted as a flat, spinning disk of dust, gas, and stars. But if you could zoom out and take an edge-on photo, it actually has a distinctive warp -- as if you tried to twist and bend a vinyl LP.

Fast radio bursts, or FRBs, are an astronomical mystery, with their exact cause and origins still unconfirmed. These intense bursts of radio energy are invisible to the human eye, but show up brightly on radio telescopes. Previous studies have noted broad

The study, published today in Nature, reports the sighting of two ice giant exoplanets colliding around a sun-like star, creating a blaze of light and plumes of dust. Its findings show the bright heat afterglow and resulting dust cloud, which mov
