Scientists have successfully captured the first detailed image of a dying star outside our Milky Way galaxy, wrapped in a strange, egg-shaped cocoon. The star, identified as WOH G64, is located 160,000 light-years from us in the Large Magellanic Cloud and is surrounded by a plume of gas and dust — suggesting it was in…

Astronomers have discovered an Earth-like exoplanet using microlensing. Scientists have made a new finding that provides a fascinating insight into the future of our solar system. A new exoplanet, about 1.9 times the mass of Earth, has been discovered around a white dwarf star, according to ScienceAlert. This extraordinary discovery throws light on the possible…

This handout image obtained on May 30, 2024 courtesy of NASA/ESA/CSA STScI shows an infrared image from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope. A galaxy, JADES-GS-z14-0 (shown in the pullout), was determined to be at a redshift of 14.32 (+0.08/-0.20), making it the current record-holder for the earliest known galaxy. | Photo Credit: AFP NASA’s James…

The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) collaboration, who produced the first ever image of our Milky Way black hole released in 2022, has captured a new view of the massive object at the centre of our Galaxy: how it looks in polarised light. This is the first time astronomers have been able to measure polarisation, a…
