A massive galaxy cluster, Abell S1063, forms a gravitation lens, revealing the warped light from more distant galaxies dating back to the early universe in this James Webb Space Telescope image.

An abrupt change in Antarctica has caused the continent to gain ice. But this increase, documented in NASA satellite data, is a temporary anomaly rather than an indication that global warming has reversed, scientists say.

A new physics paper takes a step toward creating a long-sought "theory of everything" by uniting gravity with the quantum world. However, the new theory remains far from being proven observationally.

A new memorandum has firmed up China and Russia's intent to lead the construction of a new lunar base to be completed by 2036, as NASA talks about scaling back its own lunar ambitions.

Advanced image restoration techniques have produced reconstructed views of the sun with an 8K image resolution for the first time.

A galactic collision 11 billion light-years away reveals how an actively feeding supermassive black hole disrupts star formation in a nearby galaxy.

A new simulation suggests a massive asteroid impact may have briefly supercharged the moon's magnetic field, leaving behind magnetized rocks that still carry its signature.

Japan's private Resilience lunar lander captured a nice photo of the moon's south polar region. The probe is gearing up for a June 5 touchdown try.

Scientists get closer to solving the mysterious relationship between lightning and powerful gamma-ray bursts.

Japan is putting its Martian Moons eXploration (MMX) spacecraft through a series of tests ahead of its launch to Mars next year.
