The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has directly imaged four planets orbiting the host star HR 8799 about 130 light-years ...

Scientists from Keele University have found strong evidence that some of Earth’s past mass extinctions could have been caused by nearby supernova explosions—massive star explosions in the Milky Way.

As part of this, the research team calculated the supernova rate within 20 parsecs of the Sun, or approximately 65 ...

New research is now providing a fuller understanding of the makeup of our galactic neighbor. A study based on the trajectory ...

At least two mass extinction events in Earth's history were likely caused by the "devastating" effects of nearby supernova explosions, a new study suggests. Researchers at Keele University say these ...

Astronomers have identified a quartet of small rocky planets orbiting Barnard's star, one of our closest stellar neighbours.
