Astronomers have revisited data from a dramatic collision of neutron stars to help resolve the infamous ‘Hubble tension’.
The best map yet of cosmic magnetic fields has been created with Australia’s most powerful radio telescope.
Astronomers captured the clearest example yet of one of these hidden explosions.
Radio pulses repeating every minute-to-hour have puzzled astronomers, but a new paper in Nature Astronomy might finally shed some light.
Unlike some other over-hyped meteor showers, this one is the real deal.
The only Australian hardware on board the legendary telescope is starting to fulfil its duties.
Everything bends space-time. Sometimes, we can even see this effect – and learn a lot from it.
The stars are wreathed in a huge spiral of dust, like a snake eating its own tail.
The object doesn’t resemble any known type of star or system in the Milky Way.
For the first time, astronomers have measured the plasma layers of a shock wave surrounding a pulsar.
A full moon, low on the horizon, tinted red – it’s a sight not to be missed.
Recently, astronomers have been puzzled by an unknown type of cosmic radio signal. A new breakthrough has finally traced one of them.
The newest generation of radio telescopes can detect objects so faint, we’ve never seen them before.
The James Webb Space Telescope is celebrating three years from its launch. Its discoveries have already changed our understanding of the early universe.
In 2017, astronomers found an object they’d never seen before. Now, it’s part of a growing category of elusive ‘dark comets’ – and we might find more soon.
On what would’ve been the astronomer’s 90th trip around the Sun, here’s a look at his legacy as a scientist, advocate and communicator.
Life showed up really early on Earth – it needed complex carbon molecules to do so. A new discovery hints that these molecules can survive the harsh conditions when stars are born.
On October 10, Europa Clipper will take off on a long journey to Jupiter’s moon Europa. The icy moon could potentially host alien life – and there’s only one way to find out.
We may never know – and the universe may not even have an edge. But here’s what we do know.
