JWST pinpointed FRB 20240304B in a tiny, actively star-forming dwarf galaxy at redshift 2.148—just 3 billion years after the Big Bang—far younger and...

SpaceX's fourth Falcon 9 launch for the SDA has now placed 84 of 126 data-transport satellites in orbit, rapidly assembling the initial mesh network...

JWST and Spitzer spectra of 21 extreme debris disks show eight are silica-rich, pointing to high-energy collisions that vaporize rock from Mars-sized...

MEGATRON project simulations now link space telescope observations of the infant Universe directly to the Milky Way's chemical fossil record, tracing the imprint of the first stars on our galaxy.

NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman confirmed SpaceX plans to retire its Falcon and Crew Dragon vehicles to focus on next-generation systems. This signals the close of their long-running workhorse era for crew and launch missions.

A possible 'phoenix planet' suggests second-generation rocky worlds could form around cooling white dwarfs and remain in potentially habitable zones. This opens new questions about planetary rebirth after stellar death.

JWST/NIRCam photometric selection of z>8 galaxy candidates shows highly variable success, with only 48 of 183 targets spectroscopically confirmed at...
