Astronomers weighed a black hole in a "little red dot" discovered by the James Webb telescope. They found it to be so overmassive that it may have formed before its host galaxy had a chance to develop.

Astronomers have found some of the strongest evidence yet that stars can swallow their own planets. A new study, published in Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, supports the long-held belief that young stars are capable of "eating" nearby…

Astronomers may have uncovered a hidden supermassive black hole inside the famous Antennae galaxies NGC 4038/4039, a pair of colliding galaxies best known for their spectacular bursts of star formation.…

From Mashable: Hubble finds something about the Milky Ways core just doesnt add up

Astronomers have discovered two early-universe galaxies where the central black holes appear to have grown far faster than their host galaxies.…

The findings could more than double our current database of worlds that loop around binary star systems. But researchers need to analyze more data before they can officially celebrate a new trove of far, far away exoplanets

Are we alone? New observatories and AI are poised to turbocharge the hunt for intelligent life elsewhere in our galaxy.

Finding molecules in places we will never visit is no simple task. Vetting and sometimes correcting such observations is a continual process.

From Reddit - r/physics: Physists and astronomers, if you were able to place any current or developing scientific instrument at the edge of our galaxy to observe and/or measure something of the Universe, and receive the results instantly.…

Messier 104, nicknamed the Sombrero Galaxy, is a popular target for amateur observing and astronomical research. Its recognizable extended halo, as well as a faint stellar stream, are captured in exquisite detail in this image from the Department of…

How massive can massive stars get? REALLY massive. But, it turns out, maybe not quite as massive as we once thought.

Astronomers discovered dozens of stellar streams in the Milky Way using Gaia data, offering new clues about galaxy formation and dark matter.

A star you can see with the naked eye has kept astronomers guessing for decades with its unusually powerful X-rays.

Astronomers have spotted the most distant and brightest "space laser" ever seen, and it's blasting from a galaxy collision that occurred when the universe was half its current age.

For some time, astronomers have theorized that there is a connection between planetary mass and rotation. Using the W.M. Keck Observatory on Maunakea, Hawai'i, a team of astronomers confirmed this relationship by studying dozens of gas giants and brown…
