A deep space photographer spent months photographing the Crab Nebula and found his composite image, when compared with the 1999 image from the Hubble Space Telescope, shows the supernova's expansion.

When young stars mix with neutron stars, things get messy.

A Sydney Ph.D. student has recreated a tiny piece of the universe inside a bottle in her laboratory, producing cosmic dust from scratch. The results shed new light on how the chemical building blocks ...

We show how this "cosmic clock" uncovers the evolution of rivers, coasts and habitats.

Astronomers tracked a star that slowly faded instead of exploding. The quiet disappearance may reveal a hidden way black ...

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

In A Nutshell A massive star in the Andromeda Galaxy faded by more than 10,000 times over a decade and vanished from view, likely collapsing into a black hole without exploding as a supernova ...
