A new study offers key insights into Mars' water cycle.

ESO's Extremely Large Telescope at Cerro Armazones in Chile's Atacama Desert is seen from directly above while its construction continues.

The James Webb Space Telescope has turned its infrared eyes toward Jupiter, capturing auroras hundreds of times brighter than those on Earth glowing on the gas giant's poles.

Through a citizen science project called Galaxy Zoo, volunteers can help astronomers analyze over 500,000 James Webb Space Telescope images and classify galaxies observed from deep space.

It's been one year since the historic Gannon Storm lit up the night sky with auroras and piqued interest in space weather. Here's what experts say we learned from the historic event.

Every time this doomed star plunges through a supermassive black hole's accretion disk, it loses orbital energy and triggers a burst of X-rays.

The spiral galaxy NGC 3596 is viewed face-on in this NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image that incorporates six different wavelengths of light.

Astronomers have caught a black hole far from the center of its galaxy ripping a star to shreds — offering for the first time evidence of a rogue supermassive black hole in action.
