Astronomers using a telescope in Mexico have found two more exoplanets - a super-Earth and a sub-Neptune - orbiting a red dwarf star 120 light-years from Earth.

Earlier this month, Roger Penrose, Reinhard Genzel, and Andrea Ghez split the 2020 physics Nobel Prize for decades of work on black holes. Click here to learn more about their monumental achievement and about the history of our understanding of these exotic objects in space.

The sun's second planet, Venus, as seen from the BepiColombo spacecraft as it passed on its way to the innermost planet, Mercury, earlier this month.

According to new research, the red supergiant star Betelgeuse - which began to dim dramatically in brightness in late 2019 - might not explode for another 100,000 years. The star is also smaller and closer to us than first thought.

Take a video tour of asteroid Bennu’s remarkable terrain and read a list of 10 cool things scientists know about this pristine remnant from the early days of our solar system.

Planetary systems with both super-Earths and Jupiter-type planets may be common, according to a new study. As in our own solar system, the giant planets would act as "bodyguards" protecting the smaller planets from asteroid impacts.

Gianluca Masi of the Virtual Telescope Project captured an image of the asteroid last night.

The discovery of the most metal-poor globular cluster recorded to date has forced scientists to rethink how both galaxies and globular clusters form.

A new study shows how methane snow accumulates on Pluto's mountain peaks. These snowcaps - first seen by New Horizons in 2015 - look a lot like ones on Earth, but form in a very alien environment.

Blue Origin's New Shepard rocket successfully launched an uncrewed test flight on October 13, with both its capsule and booster later executing a flawless landing.
