For the first time, astronomers were able to witness the explosive end of a giant star as it happened. The first real-time look at the death of a red supergiant star was facilitated by ground-based telescopes.

In a first, astronomers watch a dying star explode in real time

In a study, an international team of astronomers researched over a group of six early galaxies with the help of Atacama Large Millimeter or submillimeter Array (ALMA) and the Hubble Space Telescope.

For the first time, astronomers led by Dan Wilkins of Stanford University witnessed flares of X-ray radiation originating from behind a black hole. The X-ray flares reflected off the gas going into the black hole, and the telescopes picked up fainter lights as the flares faded.

A string of lights that lobbed across the night sky in parts of the US on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday had some people wondering if a fleet of UFOs was coming, but it had others, mostly amateur stargazers and professional astronomers, lamenting the industrialisation of space.

Astronomers of European Space Agency Gaia have unveiled the most precise 3D map yet of the Milky Way, an achievement that sheds lights on the workings of the galaxy and how the universe is expanded.

A group of astronomers detected a giant planet revolving around a small cool star. The rare discovery is about 35 light-years away from Earth. According to the reports, the giant planet looked like Saturn and was detected by a 'wobble' in star's motion.

Astronomers have discovered a "space butterfly" coloured with brilliant blues and clouds of purple and red thousands of light years away. The space phenomenon, named for its resemblance to a butterfly, is actually a planetary nebula -- a giant cloud of gas that forms around an ancient star that hasn't yet exploded.

Astronomers have discovered two super-Earth exoplanets orbiting a star 11 light-years away from Earth, according to a new study published in the journal Science.

Astronomers have spotted a massive disk galaxy, that formed 12.5 billion years ago when our 13.8 billion-year-old universe was only a tenth of its current age. According to the information provided by the astronomers, the galaxy’s disk has a mass of 70 billion times that of our sun.

Scientists studying a distant galaxy cluster have discovered the biggest explosion seen in the Universe since the Big Bang. The blast came from a supermassive black hole at the centre of a galaxy hundreds of millions of light-years away.

Biggest explosion in universe's history detected by telescopes

The asteroid, labelled 2019 OK, is about the size of a large airplane. Had it hit, it could have wiped out an entire city.

Dark matter's existence is inferred from the motion of objects affected by its gravitational pull.

Astronomers find the 'impossible': A galaxy without dark matter

The star, TRAPPIST-1, is a small, dim celestial body in the constellation Aquarius. It is located only about 40 light years away from Earth
