The giant black hole at the center of the Milky Way may be producing mysterious particles called neutrinos.

A mysterious object orbiting our black hole has not yet revealed its identity as a gas cloud or a star, and two groups with a history of competition are each hoping to solve the puzzle.

Are we set to see Professor Brian Cox go where no TV presenter has gone before? The celebrity physicist has revealed to i that he is willing to pay to go into space – despite the Virgin Galactic tragedy on 31 October that left one pilot dead.

Two never-before-seen particles have just been detected at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider, the world’s largest particle accelerator, by the international LHCb collaboration. Known as Xi_b'- and Xi_b*-, the new particles belong to the baryon family ...

(Phys.org) —Long believed to be one of the blandest regions of any of the giant gas planets, the southern hemisphere of Uranus indicates a flurry of previously unknown atmospheric phenomena, hinting at an unusual feature in the interior of the planet ...

The strength of an alien world's magnetic field may have been deduced for the first time, by analyzing fast winds slamming against it from the planet's star. The research could help gauge the strength of other exoplanets' magnetic fiel ...

The "magic island" mystery on Saturn's moon Titan just became more puzzling. Last year, astronomers spotted a strange bright feature in Titan's Ligeia Mare sea that they called a "magic island." The object first appeare ...

The universe is a weird place. Here's a look at some of the strangest things in the cosmos.

The polarization of an intense laser beam can theoretically be controlled by mixing it with a second beam in a plasma.

Quasars are the brightest objects in the universe, and display a mysterious diversity in their appearance that have puzzled astronomers for more than two decades. Now, scientists think they have a method for solving that mystery.

Astronomers have spotted two solar systems forming on a slant, thanks to the influence of each other's stars.

Researchers have made novel measurements of the universe by using BOSS, the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey, when the universe was a mere three billion years old.

A different astronomy and space science related image is featured each day, along with a brief explanation.

Stars and black holes can form from rotating matter. Yet exactly how they form has long remained one of the big questions of astrophysics. Now, scientists have discovered magnetic fields can cause turbulences within "dead zones," helping th ...

Building a terrestrial planet requires raw materials that weren't available in the early history of the universe.

The Lakes of Saturn's Moon are Oddly Smooth with No Waves Ever Detected

The ruddy color of Jupiter's Great Red Spot is likely a product of simple chemicals being broken apart by sunlight in the planet's upper atmosphere, according to a new analysis of data from NASA's Cassini mission.
