The cloud bands on brown dwarf Luhman 16A were found via instruments known as polarimeters. An astronomer said they're like "... an astronomer's polarized sunglasses. But instead of trying to block out that glare, we're trying to measure it."

It’s a spectacular achievement to rendezvous with an asteroid as it’s whizzing around the sun. It's even more amazing to collect a sample. That's what the Hayabusa2 spacecraft did in February 2019. Here's what researchers learned.

Data sonification uses data to result in a sound, so that you can better perceive what the data show. Here are several audio recordings based on data from the Mercury-bound BepiColombo spacecraft's Earth flyby on April 9.

There's no sound in space. But - working with NASA - musicians and scientists turned a Hubble Space Telescope image of a galaxy cluster into music.

Comet C/2019 Y4 (ATLAS) was getting brighter. Then, sadly, the Hubble Space Telescope caught it apparently disintegrating. Now ... surprise. Veteran comet observer Terry Lovejoy reported earlier today that the comet is brightening again!

Future astronauts on the moon will need to have water, and now NASA has designed a new CubeSat spacecraft to search for ice in lunar craters using laser beams.

Scientists studying the huge, hot exoplanet WASP-79b have found that, surprisingly, the planet has yellow skies instead of blue. But why it does is still a mystery.

Only 1,000 light-years away, the star system can be seen with the unaided eye.

Fast Radio Bursts are very mysterious bursts of radio waves - perhaps just a thousandth of a second long - coming from all over the sky. This new discovery of one in our own galaxy is a stunner!

Scientists used computer simulations to learn that our Milky Way galaxy may sometimes launch newly forming stars into the space around itself - that is, into the halo of our galaxy - via outflows triggered by supernova explosions.
