So far, humanity has yet to find its first "exomoon"—a moon orbiting a planet outside of the solar system. But that hasn't ...

Universe Today reports on a new telescope proposal that could help astronomers detect Earth-sized exomoons, explaining current limits, future technology, and why moons around distant planets matter ...

For astronomers, one of the greatest challenges is capturing images of objects and phenomena that are difficult to see using optical (or visible light) telescopes. This problem has been largely ...

Hypertelescope capable of direct high-resolution imaging with a high limiting magnitude have been built and tested on Earth. The Hypertelescope group have proposed giant telescopes 10-25 kilometers ...

Using Georgia State’s CHARA Array, an international team of scientists has uncovered unexpected complexity in how stars ...

NASA NIAC willl investigate the details of building a high-resolution, long-baseline, optical imaging interferometer on the lunar surface in conjunction with the Artemis Program. A lunar ...

This is an image of the star WOH G64, taken by the GRAVITY instrument on the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope Interferometer (ESO’s VLTI). This is the first close-up picture of a ...

An image of the spiral galaxy NGC 1086 obtained by the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope (VLT). The galaxy has a distance of 47 million light-years and is one of the nearest ...

First results from a new NASA-funded scientific instrument at the W. M. Keck Observatory at Mauna Kea, Hawaii, are helping scientists overturn long-standing assumptions about powerful explosions ...

Active galactic nuclei are supermassive black holes at the center of certain galaxies. As matter falls into these black holes ...
