Researchers led by a Rutgers University-New Brunswick astrophysicist, who looked deeply into space at a period known as "Cosmic Noon," about 2 billion to 3 billion years after the Big Bang, have found ...

This image from the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope revisits one of the most iconic regions of the sky, the Hubble Ultra Deep Field, through the eyes of two of Webb's instruments. The result ...

The first images from the Vera C. Rubin Observatory showed off a breathtaking preview of its capabilities — capturing millions of stars and galaxies light-years from Earth, along with thousands of ...

In a world that often measures itself in days, years, decades and centuries, a second seems insignificant. But a lot can happen in an instant. It takes a lightning bolt just 30 microseconds to strike ...

Euclid’s first deep-field survey has captured 26 million galaxies, some over 10 billion light-years away, offering a preview of its mission to chart a third of the sky in stunning detail. AI and ...

Scientists have found a remarkably small yet bright object from the early universe that doesn’t make sense in our existing models of how stars and galaxies formed, even our own Milky Way. That means ...

The first galaxies in long-wavelength infrared light have been observed for the first time, thanks to images captured with the James Webb Space Telescope's (JWST) MIRI infrared sensor. These images ...

In the name of open science, the multinational scientific collaboration COSMOS on Thursday released the data behind the largest map of the universe. Called the COSMOS-Web field, the project, built ...

Researchers have found evidence of magnetic fields associated with a disc of gas and dust a few hundred light-years across deep inside a system of two merging galaxies known as Arp220. They say these ...
