A new Hubble image features a dusty yet sparkling scene from the Large Magellanic Cloud, one of the Milky Way’s satellite galaxies. “The Large Magellanic Cloud is a dwarf galaxy situated about 160,000 ...

A new genus and species of ankylosaurid dinosaur has been identified from the fossilized material found at Kangdailiang Mountain (1,262 m above sea level) in China. Tianzhenosaurus chengi roamed our ...

In 2018, astronomers observed that the corona of 1ES 1927+654, an actively accreting, 1.4-million-solar-mass black hole located in a galaxy around 270 million light-years away, suddenly disappeared, ...

Paleontologists in the United States have uncovered the fossilized remains of a new species of sauropodomorph dinosaur that lived in the northern hemisphere (supercontinent Laurasia) during the ...

In a new paper, planetary researchers from Texas A&M University and the University of Washington introduce a new thermodynamic concept called the centotectic and investigate the stability of liquids ...

The newly-developed all-optical nanosensors are luminescent nanocrystals that can change intensity and/or color when you push or pull on them; they are probed with light only and therefore allow for ...

Paleontologists have uncovered hundreds of different dinosaur footprints, including footprints left by the 9-m (29.5-foot) ferocious predator Megalosaurus and by herbivorous dinosaurs up to twice that ...

This new image from the Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3) aboard the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope shows a tiny patch of sky in the constellation of Hydra. Behind a bright star in the lower part of the ...

A new image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope shows two protostars in the Orion Nebula, a diffuse nebula located approximately 1,350 light-years away in the constellation of Orion. The Orion ...

The Antlia galaxy cluster is a group of at least 230 galaxies held together by gravity; this cluster is unusual — unlike most other galaxy clusters, it appears to have no dominant galaxy within it.

Using James Webb Space Telescope observations, astronomers have identified more than 40 microlensed stars in a single galaxy behind the galaxy cluster Abell 370 at redshift of 0.725 (dubbed the Dragon ...

The newly-discovered dinosaur species, Lishulong wangi, lies in the heart of the early sauropodomorph-sauropod transition, according to a paper published in the journal PeerJ. Lishulong wangi roamed ...
