How were supermassive black holes able to grow so rapidly in the early Universe? Galactic mergers were believed to be…
The Vera Rubin Observatory (VRO) is something special among telescopes. It's not built for better angular resolution and increased resolving…
The surface of Mars is hostile and unforgiving. But put a few meters of regolith between you and the Martian…
The face of astronomy is changing. Though narrow-field point-and-shoot astronomy still matters (JWST anyone?), large wide-field surveys promise to be…
A new study considers how future astrobiology studies could search for life "as we don't know it" on exoplanets.
A new study shows how hyperspectral imaging and AI could help in the study of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP).
A new machine learning technique could make it much easier to estimate the age of stellar populations.
Astronomers have used machine learning to sharpen up the Event Horizon Telescope's first picture of a black hole --- an…
There are plenty of places for life to hide. Even on our blue planet, where we know there is abundant…
A new machine learning technique will help astronomers detect young exoplanets in disks surrounding other stars.
