Monitoring programmes with the warm Spitzer mission have recorded substantial and rapid changes in mid-infrared output for several stars, interpreted as variations in the surface area of warm, dusty material ejected by planetary-scale collisions and heated by the central star: for example, NGC 2354–ID8 (refs....

Researchers might have finally discovered the similarities between fast radio bursts and earthquakes.

The James Webb Space Telescope is a scientific powerhouse. But it also captures gorgeous images any one of us can appreciate.

Explorer Ferdinand Magellan is not a fitting namesake for the pair of satellite galaxies of the Milky Way, a group of scientists argues.
