New research conducted by scientists from NASA and Japan’s Osaka University suggests that rogue planets, or worlds that drift through space untethered to a star, significantly outnumber planets that orbit stars. The results indicate that NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, scheduled for launch

"This result does not fit in with the currently accepted cosmological models, which include dark matter."

In a rare astronomical event, August 2023 stargazers will see two supermoons, coupled with the appearance of an elusive blue moon

We have no explanations for this sort of slow repeat.

It's been one year since we saw the first official images taken by the groundbreaking James Webb Space Telescope.

Since then, the telescope has been hard at work collecting data on our universe. In just one year, researchers have published over 750 pieces of peer-reviewed scientific literature using or citing data from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST or Webb), according to the Space Telescope Science Institute.

NASA's Webb telescope spotted an active supermassive black hole that existed 570 million years after the Big Bang. That's really early.

Watch the European satellite, called Euclid, soar to space aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station on Florida's Space Coast. The launch took place today, July 1, at 11:11 a.m EDT.

The Euclid telescope, just launched today, will be able to observe galaxies out to 10 billion light-years. Here's the largest map I could find (1 billion light years) that includes the Milky Way, Laniakea, the Shapley supercluster, the Perseus–Pisces supercluster, and the South Pole Wall.
