In addition to revealing the proper motion of over a billion stars in the Milky Way, the 2nd data release from the Gaia mission also revealed the proper motions of stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud.

ExoMars mission's Trace Gas Orbiter (TGO) recently sent back its very first image, which shows the ice-covered edge of the Korolev Crater

Using the Hubble Space telescope a team of astronomers have found the companion of a supernova for the first time, thus proving that some supernovae originate in binary systems.

Located in the Hydra constellation, roughly 33,000 light years from Earth, is the globular cluster known as Messier 68

Using the ALMA array, international team of scientists recently observed 14 galaxies in the early Universe that are about to merge to form a galaxy cluster - one of the largest structures in the known Universe

It's a question I've fielded lots this weekend leading up to last night's April Pink Full Moon, and one I expect we'll get again tonight: "What's that bright star near the Moon?" That bright "star" is actually a planet, the king of them all as far as our Solar System is concerned: Jupiter. May also ushers in Jupiter observing season, as the planet reaches opposition on May 9th, rising in the east opposite to the setting Sun to the west. Jupiter now joins Venus in the dusk sky, ending the planetary drought plaguing many an evening star party.

The 8th test flight of Blue Origin's New Shepard rocket - a major step towards the development of space tourism - will be live-streamed today.

At the recent 2020 Decadal Survey for Astrophysics, four next-generation space telescopes were selected for future development

Thanks to the second release of Gaia data, we now know the positions, distances and motions of 1.7 billion stars in the Milky Way

Are you keeping a eye on Jupiter? The King of the Planets, Jove presents a swirling upper atmosphere full of action, a worthy object of telescopic study as it heads towards another fine opposition on May 9th, 2018. Now, an interesting international study out of the School of Engineering in Bilbao, Spain, the Astronomical Society of France,the Meath Astronomical Group in Dublin Ireland, the Astronomical Society of Australia, and the Esteve Duran Observatory in Spain gives us a fascinating and encouraging possibly, and another reason to keep a sharp eye on old Jove: Jupiter may just get smacked with asteroids on a ore regular basis than previously thought.

According to a new study, the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite is estimated to find over 4000 planets during its first two-year mission

Using images taken by the Rosetta spacecraft, a twitter user created a stunning video that shows what it is like to stand on the surface of a comet

An international team of astronomers recently used deep learning to identify patterns in images of galaxies taken by the Hubble Space Telescope

In a new paper, two professors consider what we have learned from studying Earth from space, and how this might allow us to find an Earth 2.0.
