A young star called V1298 Tau is giving astronomers a front-row seat to the birth of the galaxy’s most common planets. Four ...

Jupiter’s swirling storms have concealed its true makeup for centuries, but a new model is finally peeling back the clouds.

Dating to only a billion years after the big bang, JADES-ID1 may be the earliest, most distant galaxy protocluster astronomers have ever seen ...

Astronomers have spotted a mysteriously mature “baby cluster” of galaxies in the early universe, scarcely a billion years ...

A Sydney Ph.D. student has recreated a tiny piece of the universe inside a bottle in her laboratory, producing cosmic dust ...

V1298 Tau links swollen young worlds to the compact planets that astronomers keep finding, and its timing signals made that connection measurable. Future transit-timing and atmospheric observations ...

Astronomers have found thousands of exoplanets around single stars, but few around binary stars—even though both types of stars are equally common. Physicists can now explain the dearth.

New simulations suggest Jupiter holds far more water than once thought, reshaping ideas about how the largest planet formed.

By creating a 'little bit of the Universe in a bottle' in her lab, a PhD student in physics has reverse-engineered the ...

Scientists have shown that the building blocks of proteins can form naturally in deep space. This means the raw ingredients for life may exist long before planets are formed.

Economist Martin Kahanec, one of Europe’s leading experts on labour markets, migration, and social inequalities, won a slew of awards for his work last year, including being named Outstanding ...
