Learn about the size, temperature, and colour of each planet, and discover why Pluto is no longer considered a planet.

Astronomers have detected a mid-infrared flare from the supermassive black hole at the heart of the Milky Way galaxy for the very first time, and it’s shedding new light on the complex physics driving ...

But researchers have used the James Webb Space Telescope, a collaboration of NASA and its European and Canadian space ...

Astronomers have long tried to track down how elements like carbon, which is essential for life, become widely distributed across the universe. Now, NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has examined one ...

Here’s how it works. Most of the atoms in your body likely spent millions of years circling the Milky Way on a cosmic "conveyor belt" before returning to our galaxy prior to the solar system's ...

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has detected and “weighed” a galaxy – seen 600 million years after the Big Bang – that is similar to what our Milky Way galaxy might have looked like at the same ...

The Andromeda Galaxy, 2.5 million light-years away, is unveiled in Hubble's largest photomosaic. Spanning a decade, this 2.5-billion-pixel image reveals 200 million stars and Andromeda’s dynamic ...

Scientists have found the beginnings of a young universe that may offer insights into the beginnings of our own Milky Way Galaxy. Geoff Bennett and Miles O'Brien discussed why scientists are ...
