Universe Today reports on a new telescope proposal that could help astronomers detect Earth-sized exomoons, explaining current limits, future technology, and why moons around distant planets matter ...

So far, humanity has yet to find its first "exomoon"—a moon orbiting a planet outside of the solar system. But that hasn't ...

Using Georgia State’s CHARA Array, an international team of scientists has uncovered unexpected complexity in how stars ...

The digital data produced by each telescope within the observation process of Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) can be referred to as raw data. The raw telescope data represents the initial ...

Astronomers have long struggled to capture the true nature of stellar nova explosions. However, thanks to cutting-edge ...

This animation, provided by the Max-Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics (MPE), shows the path of light inside GRAVITY+, an instrument and a large and complex upgrade to ESO’s Very Large ...

For more than 400 years, astronomers both professional and amateur have taken a special interest in observing Mira stars, a class of variable red giants famous for pulsations that last for 80-1,000 ...

The successful creation of a guide star above the European Southern Observatory (ESO) Paranal site in Chile with freshly installed lasers marks a new era of interferometry, according to the ESO team.

First results from a new NASA-funded scientific instrument at the W. M. Keck Observatory at Mauna Kea, Hawaii, are helping scientists overturn long-standing assumptions about powerful explosions ...
