Astronomers detected a new, nearby, repeating fast radio burst, originating from a spot near the great spiral galaxy M81.

NASA's Juno spacecraft - whose mission in orbit around Jupiter was recently extended to 2025 - has been used to discover a rapidly expanding auroral ring at the very fringes of the Jovian magnetosphere.

For the first time, scientists have detected X-rays being emitted by the planet Uranus. The discovery was made by a new analysis of data from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory.

An international team of astronomers has mapped a piece of the cosmic web without using bright quasars for the first time. They did it by turning a powerful instrument to a single region of the sky for hundreds of hours.

Data from ESA’s Gaia star-mapping satellite have revealed tantalizing evidence that the famous V-shaped Hyades - nearest star cluster to our sun - is being disrupted. The culprit may be a suspected population of dark matter sub-halos. Wow!

Comet 2I/Borisov is the 2nd known object to pass near our sun from outside our solar system. Its 2019 pass near our sun might have been its first-ever interaction with a star. If so, it's among the most pristine, or unspoiled, objects yet known.

Astronomers have detected a "Goldilocks" or intermediate-mass black hole. It's not small, not supermassive - but right in the middle - and it "sheds light" on how the supermassive black holes got so large.

When the TESS planet hunter launched nearly 3 years ago, some 4,000 exoplanets were known. NASA confirmed in late March that TESS has discovered over 2,200 additional exoplanet candidates orbiting distant stars.

This spectacular image features spiral galaxy Messier 106 and its diminutive neighbors, as well as a dense field of background galaxies and foreground stars.

A lot, or even most, of Mars' ancient water remains trapped inside the planet's crust instead of being lost to space, according to a new study from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory and Caltech.
