Heroes of Space: Edwin Hubble

How one of the world’s greatest astronomers shaped our understanding of the universe

Deep Space

How do intergalactic and extragalactic space differ from each other?

We define the meaning between these two descriptions of space

Deep Space

New image release: Hubble’s weird perspective of a spiral galaxy

Believe it or not, this long, luminous streak, speckled with bright blisters and pockets of material, is a structure like our Milky Way

Solar System

Life may be common in the Milky Way, thanks to comet swapping

And Earth may be one of the primary donor worlds

Deep Space

Very Large Telescope releases new view of ‘Cosmic Seagull’

The remarkable detail reveals the individual astronomical objects that make up the celestial bird, as well as the finer features within them

Deep Space

Astronomers map more of Milky Way’s puzzling cosmic void

The existence of the Local Void has been widely accepted, but it remained poorly studied because it lies behind the centre of our galaxy and is therefore heavily obscured from our view

Deep Space

Cold hydrogen could have stopped Milky Way’s star formation

For the first time ionised hydrogen has been detected at the lowest frequency ever towards the centre of our galaxy

Deep Space

A ring of cool, interstellar gas was detected around the Milky Way’s central black hole

By imaging this cool disk of gas rotate around the supermassive black hole, astronomers can watch how the accretion process unfolds

Astronomy

Astronomers could have identified a star from outside the Milky Way

Analysis of the star’s chemical composition indicates that it could have originated from a dwarf galaxy that then merged with the Milky Way

Astronomy

Watch Live: First black hole image? Major discovery to be announced today

The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) is set to release its first results – tune in wherever you are in the world

Astronomy

View the explosive X-ray scene at the galactic centre

This new visualisation offers a 360 degree, riveting experience of what resides at the centre of our Milky Way

Deep Space

What is “switching on” a supermassive black hole’s feeding frenzy?

These “giant monsters” were observed suddenly devouring gas in their surroundings

Deep Space

What’s the heaviest star cluster?

We find out who’s the heftiest stellar family of them all

Astronomy

The event that changed the Milky Way

ESA’s Gaia found evidence in the night sky that points to the fact our galaxy did not form alone

Deep Space

Astronomers observe powerful molecular wind from distant galaxy

The Large Millimeter Telescope in Mexico has revealed this rare outflow from 800 million light years away

Deep Space

The youngest known pulsar in the Milky Way has been found

The results from this study could reveal what happens to some stars during their demise

Deep Space

Astronomers witness aftermath of white and brown dwarf collision

The short-lived blaze of glory was witnessed on Earth in 1670 as a nova, which is now known as CK Vulpeculae

Astronomy

How much of the universe does the Milky Way block us seeing?

Does the Milky Way block our view of stars in the night sky?

Deep Space

What’s at the centre of a galaxy cluster?

Gemma Lavender gets to the bottom of this question for us

Deep Space

Milky Way collided with ‘sausage’ galaxy roughly eight billion years ago

Astronomers propose that between eight and 10 billion years ago, a dwarf galaxy collided with the Milky Way and completely reshaped the galaxy
