The Cherenkov Telescope Array just got a major boost for distributing its data, a development that will expedite scientific discovery using the observatory. Reading time 2 minutes The European ...

Astronomers have dived into the turbulent and chaotic heart of the Milky Way, discovering hidden chemistry around our galaxy's supermassive black hole.

Astronomers using the MeerKAT telescope discovered a hydroxyl megamaser in a galactic merger 8 billion light-years away, amplified by gravitational lensing and operating at radio wavelengths.

Targeting star systems identified by Kepler Space Telescope (especially those in habitable-zone candidate planets). Surveying a region near the Milky Way’s Galactic Center (where stellar density is ...

It feels like every week now we're writing a new article about how 3I/ATLAS is not an alien technology. But it's worth reiterating, and perhaps taking a look at the methodology we used to prove that ...

Paranal, Chile, 17 December 2025 — Representatives from the Cherenkov Telescope Array Observatory (CTAO), the European Southern Observatory (ESO), and governmental authorities gathered today to ...

To capture higher-definition and sharper images of cosmological objects, astronomers sometimes combine the data collected by several telescopes. This approach, known as long-baseline interferometry, ...

So scientists found a workaround. Instead of building one gigantic telescope, they placed smaller telescopes far apart and combined their light. If done correctly, the system behaves like a single ...

A giant galaxy measuring 3.3 million light-years across has been found by astronomers using the South African MeerKAT radio telescope, an array of 64 antennas in the Meerkat National Park in the ...

The Allen Telescope Array (ATA) is located at the Hat Creek Observatory in the Cascade Mountains of California, approximately 300 miles to the north of San Francisco and two dozen miles north of ...
