A new photo shows the Extremely Large Telescope's dome nearing completion in Chile. The massive structure will house a giant mirror, with first light expected in 2029, revolutionizing our view of the cosmos.
The European Space Agency (ESA) has a legacy of curiosity and collaboration, pushing boundaries in space exploration through teamwork across borders and ambitious missions.
A collision that formed Titan may have triggered Saturn's tilt and the formation of its rings about 100-200 million years ago.
Elon Musk wants a moon factory and electromagnetic catapult to launch AI satellites, an idea echoing 1970s proposals for lunar mass drivers to exploit space resources.
JWST captured a stunning image of a "cosmic jellyfish" galaxy from 8.5 billion years ago. Its trailing gas tendrils, formed by ram-stripping, challenge assumptions about early galaxy cluster environments.
Astronomers used Hubble and Chandra to hunt for wandering black holes in dwarf galaxies. Finding them could reveal a "fossil record" of early black hole seeds, helping explain how supermassive black holes grew so quickly in the early universe.
Scientists may have found the landing site of Luna 9, the 1966 Soviet probe that took the first moon surface photos. AI and crowdsourcing identified candidate spots. New satellite images could confirm the location.
