Gaze upon the magnificent beauty of this newly found star system in orbital “resonance,” where its six exoplanets orbit their star in astoundingly perfect — and rare — mathematical harmony.

While surveying distant worlds beyond our solar system, researchers unexpectedly obtained the first direct images showing ...

It can be easy to assume that the way things are in our solar system are mostly how they are elsewhere in the universe – but that’s often not the case. Now, astronomers have observed a triple star ...

Astronomers have observed what they believe is a triple-star system in space surrounded by a chaotic disc of dust that could form planets. The stars orbit each other and the dust disc is shredded in ...

Last year, scientists discovered a mathematically perfect star system — and now, they’re looking into whether it might contain signs of alien tech. All the same, scientists aren’t done looking, and as ...

Space enthusiasts, thank your lucky stars. Astronomers expect that this year you'll be able to see the explosion of a star system in our Milky Way galaxy by simply looking up at the sky. Yes, we know ...

There is now one more reason to gaze at the sky, total solar eclipse aside. The explosion of a distant “star system” will temporarily paint the night sky with its bright guts soon, offering stargazers ...

Astronomers at the National Science Foundation’s NOIRLab made the first confirmed detection of a star system that will one day form a kilonova, an ultra-powerful and gold-producing explosion created ...
