The Milky Way is a barred spiral galaxy that contains the solar system and the Earth.

Haley’s Coronet is at war with its neighboring dwarf galaxy, and its a gravitational struggle the latter is bound to lose.

Astronomers have witnessed a cosmic tug of war between Haley's Coronet and its neighboring dwarf galaxy. The gravitational tussle is one the smaller galaxy is bound to lose. That could ultimately result in a merger between the two.

Astronomers have found a missing link in the evolution from stars in binary systems to colliding neutron stars, in the form of stripped, intermediate-mass 'helium stars.'

After an astounding first year of science, the James Webb Space Telescope is just getting started as scientists are fully beginning to grasp how they can utilize the most powerful space telescope ever built.

Astronomers have found a missing link in the evolutionary progressing of colliding neutron stars, in the form of stripped, intermediate-mass helium stars.

This discovery marks a missing link in our picture of stellar evolution toward systems with merging neutron stars, which are crucial to our understanding of the origin of heavy elements, such as silver and gold

The cosmos is a hostile but beautiful place; from Earth, its phenomena—from our Sun and the aurorae it generates to nebulae and distant galaxies—are worth capturing.

The Royal Observatory Greenwich shortlisted 34 images for its Astronomy Photographer Of The Year 2023 competition from thousands of entries received from all over the world.

A stunning selection of shortlisted images from this year's competition.
