This NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image provides a lesson in galactic history. The sparkling collection of stars is named ...

Earth have between just 4% and 25% of the oxygen that their stars are known to have produced. Scientists are not sure where ...

Astronomers have determined that VVV CL001, a metal-poor globular cluster near the center of the Milky Way, is about 13.4 ...

A Hubble-based census of 37 nearby dwarf galaxies finds they hold on average just 11% of the oxygen their own stars forged, and as little as 4%. Supernova winds ...

A new study claims that the VVV CL001 cluster is around 13.4 billion years old, which could make it the oldest star cluster ...

NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has captured a new image of NGC 1827, a spiral galaxy located around 37 million light-years from Earth. Seen from the side, the galaxy reveals long, dark dust lanes, ...

Astronomers working mostly in Chile dated VVV CL001, a faint globular cluster buried behind dust near the galactic center, at ...

Dwarf galaxy oxygen loss reaches 96 percent in new Hubble census of 37 nearby galaxies, challenging leading cosmological simulations that overpredict oxygen retention by a factor of two to three and ...

Researchers using Hubble studied 37 dwarf galaxies and found that much of the oxygen they expected to see is missing. Simulations predict that significantly more oxygen should be present. Instead, the ...

Hubble reveals a mystery in nearby dwarf galaxies, where powerful stellar explosions appear to have swept away much of their ...

One of NASA’s premier space telescopes plunged to Earth on Wednesday, ending its 22-year investigation of the universe’s ...

Around a dead star in the Milky Way, astronomers suspect a Jupiter-like world formed from stellar ashes and is possibly ...
