Neptune and Saturn are two Moon-widths apart all month, while the morning sky hosts Venus and Uranus together in Taurus.

The Owl Nebula is an example of a planetary nebula — a type of object that yields glimpses of stellar death in slow motion.

Hubble captures three infant stars lighting up a blue nebula, with a secret protostar forming in a shadowed disc below.

Most disks observed were about 30 astronomical units wide, roughly 30 times the Earth-Sun distance. The presence of intricate structures in such early systems implies a parallel evolution of infant ...

"Each new detection brings us closer to understanding the origins of complex organic chemistry in the universe — and perhaps, the origins of the building blocks of life themselves." ...

Researchers identified the likely planetary candidate’s infrared light after blocking out its host star’s overwhelming glare ...

TOI-6894 b, the largest exoplanet relative to its host star yet seen, doesn’t fit the most widely accepted formation model ...

In a stellar nursery 460 light-years away, astronomers sharpened old ALMA data and spotted crisp rings and spirals swirling ...

For example, night-vision goggles use infrared light to detect warm objects in the dark. Webb uses the same idea to study stars, galaxies and planets. Why infrared? When visible light from faraway ...

James Webb’s mid-infrared vision has likely captured a frigid, Saturn-mass planet shaping the dusty rings around the nearby ...

Mars appears low in our western sky for an hour or two after sunset.  Spotting it will be made easier if binoculars are used.
