DENVER — Stanley Cup playoff games so often are about one team being able to impose its style on another team. The Dallas Stars on Saturday night found comfort in a low-scoring affair, especially playing a disciplined third period to protect a one-goal ...

Researchers at the International Center for Radio Astronomy Research (ICRAR) made the discovery about galaxies by studying the gas distribution that helps create stars. Using CSIRO's ASKAP radio telescope located at Inyarrimanha Ilgari Bundara, the CSIRO ...

Made up of three of summer’s brightest stars, the Summer Triangle is an easy starting point for exploring—and photographing—the Milky Way and beyond.

DALLAS — And now we get the series we were supposed to get. Two bona fide Stanley Cup contenders taking swings at each other. But it was oh-so-close to a whole other story. “I mean, our season’s on the line if we lose the first two games here ...

Over the last 25 years, astronomers have found thousands of exoplanets around stars in our galaxy, but more than 99% of them orbit smaller stars—from red dwarfs to stars slightly more massive than our sun, which is considered an average-sized star.

James Webb Space Telescope is finding that between the brightest stars, the cosmic skyscrapers, there are much fainter stars, meaning early galaxies are more massive than we believed.

There’s a new contender for the universe’s earliest first-generation stars. A bright clump seen about 450 million years after the Big Bang has the chemical hallmarks of first-generation stars — notably that it appears to have no elements heavier than ...

One of the ironies of deep-sky imaging is that stars are generally not the stars of the show. Of course, there are exceptions with targets like open clusters. But for nebulae and other objects, the presence of these bright points of light in an image can ...

Look up at the sky on a clear night, and you'll see thousands of stars – about 6,000 or so. But that's only a tiny fraction of all the stars out there. The rest are too far away for us to see them. Yet astronomers like me have figured out how to estimate ...
