Five 'mass extinctions' have decimated our planet since it was formed - now scientists claim the answers to two could be written in the stars.

Although black hole radiation can be catastrophic in some cases, it may assist life once oxygen has accumulated in the planet’s atmosphere.

Black holes have such extreme gravity that not even light can escape. They have been caught shredding entire stars and can even devour other black holes. And now, one scientist thinks there’s a chance ...

At the center of most large galaxies, including our own Milky Way, sits a supermassive black hole. Interstellar gas ...

His research focused on spiral galaxies and the direction in which they rotate. Logically, their spin should be evenly ...

A new discovery using the James Webb Telescope has implied we may live in a black hole. The telescope, launched by NASA three ...

New insights from the Atacama Cosmology Telescope offer unprecedented images of the universe at 380,000 years old, revealing ...

At the center of most large galaxies, including our Milky Way, sits a supermassive black hole. These powerful objects sometimes enter active galactic nucleus (AGN) mode, where they pull in gas and ...

Scientists from Keele University have found strong evidence that some of Earth’s past mass extinctions could have been caused by nearby supernova explosions—massive star explosions in the Milky Way.

Specifically, the findings support the hypothesis that supernovae could have triggered two of the so-called "big five" mass ...

When I get stressed, I look into the night sky and allow my mind to roam the infinity of space and time. It helps to get your ...

It's rare for any observatory to directly image a planet beyond our solar system, called an exoplanet, but the powerful James Webb Space Telescope has captured four of them in the stellar system HR ...
