A new study using the Keck Observatory reveals that giant planets can spin faster than more massive brown dwarfs, indicating that magnetic fields and formation processes play a key role in planetary rotation.
Astronomers have detected a large reservoir of cold molecular gas in the early universe galaxy REBELS-25, providing insight into rapid star formation and galaxy growth.
A new Kuiper Belt object, 2023 KQ14, has a stable orbit that challenges the theory of a hidden ninth planet influencing the outer Solar System.
The James Webb Space Telescope has solved the mystery of Saturn's changing rotation rate, attributing it to atmospheric winds driven by the planet's aurora.
The James Webb Space Telescope has discovered a gas giant exoplanet, WASP-94A b, where rock clouds form in the morning and vanish by night.
Spain is preparing for a total solar eclipse in August, the first in over a century, expecting to boost tourism in inland regions.
Astronomers used the James Webb Space Telescope to analyze the super-Earth LHS 3844 b, finding it to be a dark, airless, rocky planet with a surface composition similar to basalt or Earth's mantle, likely shaped by space weathering.
New research on ultra-faint dwarf galaxies suggests they hold crucial information about the early universe's conditions and star formation.
The James Webb Space Telescope has found unexpected water-ice clouds on the exoplanet Epsilon Indi Ab, challenging current atmospheric models for gas giants.
