NGC 6357 — a massive cluster of stars, dust and gas located over 5,500 light-years from Earth — contains three separate groups of young and hot stars.

The colossal jet stream, located roughly 1,860 miles below the Earth’s surface, was discovered by tracking changes in the planet's magnetic field.

In a key milestone toward understanding the nature of antimatter, researchers at CERN succeeded in performing the first-ever measurement of optical spectrum of an antihydrogen atom.

The investment comes just days after SoftBank Chairman and CEO Masayoshi Son met with U.S. President-elect Donald Trump, and pledged to invest $50 billion in American startups.

On Sunday, when the sun made its annual alignment with the black hole at the center of our galaxy, scientists at CERN focused the axion solar telescope on the celestial event.

A statistical study of planets indicates that celestial bodies the mass of Neptune may be the most common planets in the outer realms of stars’ orbits.

As part of its "A Mechanically Based Antenna" effort, the government agency would seek to create portable low-frequency transmitters that can penetrate and propagate through radio-dead zones.

The barred spiral galaxy, named IC 5201, is located over 40 million light-years from Earth in the direction of the constellation Grus.

On Earth, Boron — a water-soluble element — is a signature left behind by evaporated water.

Scientists have discovered an ancient enzyme that can somehow carry out its new role in humans without overhauling its basic architecture.

NGC 4388 — a galaxy roughly 60 light-years from Earth in the Virgo Cluster — has been observed exhibiting traits seen both in spiral as well as elliptical galaxies.

The constellation of eight little satellites will be launched Monday morning to low-Earth orbit on board an Orbital ATK Pegasus XL rocket.

A team of researchers, using computer models to simulate the formation of a rare class of meteorites, has provided clues to when the gas giant formed.

A study, based on experiments involving macaques, reveals that these primates possess the vocal tract anatomy needed to produce human-like speech.

The observations suggest that in many millisecond pulsar binary systems, the companion star’s strong magnetic field may be responsible for switching the pulsar on and off.

On Saturday, the Nobel Prizes in the sciences, economics and literature will be handed out during a ceremony in Stockholm, while the peace prize will be awarded in Oslo.

During Sunday’s flyby, when the spacecraft will pass just 2,580 miles above Jupiter’s cloud tops, seven of its eight science instruments would be switched on.

The Japanese space agency launched a cargo ship carrying an electrodynamic tether, designed in collaboration with a fishnet maker, to remove some of the debris locked in orbit around Earth.

The galaxy SPT 0346-52, seen by astronomers as it was 12.7 billion years ago, is churning out stars at a staggering rate of 4,500 solar masses per year.

Researchers announced Thursday that they had succeeded in increasing longevity of superconducting qubits — attractive candidates for the creation of a viable quantum computer.

The material, which exhibits symmetry that scientists initially thought "impossible," is only the third quasicrystal discovered in nature.

Analysis of viral DNA obtained from the remains of a 17th century child indicate that the disease may be just hundreds, and not thousands, of years old.

The ytterbium crystal where this extremely exotic state of matter was observed was synthesized for the first time last year by scientists in China.

Researchers estimate that the dust particles that eventually coalesce to form gigantic planets may be as small as just 150 micrometers.

A team of researchers has estimated the rate at which the gas giant's moons are moving away from it. The calculations suggest that the moons may not have formed 4.5 billion years ago as previously believed.

The private spaceflight company, which originally wanted to send humans to Mars in 2023, has pushed back the deadline yet again — this time to 2031.

The survey, which covered an area containing 15 million galaxies, indicates that dark matter may be more evenly distributed in the cosmos than previously believed.

The Trace Gas Orbiter, currently locked in an elliptical orbit around the red planet, has begun carrying out preliminary scientific observations of Mars and its moon Phobos.

The extraordinarily complex stellarator, which was switched on last December, is working with “unprecedented accuracy,” scientists revealed in a new study.

During its latest run, the Large Hadron Collider smashed through its luminosity targets by a wide margin. The next run is scheduled to begin in March 2017.
