Thanks to the GRAVITY collaboration, astronomers have made the most detailed observations of the black hole at the center of the Milky Way to date.

At the fourth Landing Site Workshop in October, NASA held a vote on where the Mars 2020 rover will land once it reaches the Red Planet

A new study from the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics indicates that exoplanets with too much water or too much landmass may not be a good place to look for life.

The ESO has broken ground on the Extremely Large Telescope, which will be the world's largest and most-advanced telescope once it is complete in 2024.

After eight years of service and thousands of exoplanet discoveries, the Kepler space telescope has run out of fuel and will be retired.

After a malfunction with one of its gyros placed it in safe mode, NASA has announced that Hubble is now back online!

A new study by researchers from the CfA offers a compelling explanation for 'Oumuamua strange appearance and behavior - could it be an interstellar solar sail sent by aliens?

One. More. Comet. Though the next great 'Comet of the Century' has yet to make its appearance in 2018, we've had a steady stream of binocular comets this year, including Comets C/2017 S3 PanSTARRS, 38P Stephan-Oterma, and 21P Giacobini-Zinner. Now, the calendar year may have saved the best for last, as periodic Comet 46P Wirtanen takes center stage.

A highly effective (but very difficult) method of exoplanet detection involves capturing direct images of bodies orbiting distant stars from their reflected light or heat signatures.

My work with Universe Today has helped fashion me into a better science fiction writer and led to the publication of my first books!

Located in the "tea pot" of the Sagittarius constellation, some 29,300 light years from Earth, is the globular cluster known as Messier 70
