Last chance! A rare plane parade is happening on Aug. 21 and it won't happen again until 2028. Here's when and how stargazers can catch a glimpse of this week's stunning spectacle.

In a paper published in Nature and led by Núria Miret-Roig, researchers detail the discovery of at least seventy free-floating planets in a region of the Milky Way known as the Upper Scorpius OB ...

The Milky Way is expected to shine every night through August as it gets higher in a darker sky throughout the United States, including Ohio.

Researchers have discovered a group of free-floating planets — planets not orbiting a star — in a nearby region of the Milky Way known as the Upper Scorpius OB stellar association.

Planets caught forming around a baby sun outside the Milky Way The Dutch-led team used NASA's Webb Space Telescope and a telescope in Chile to observe a young star some 1,370 light-years away.

Astronomers have discovered a giant Saturn-sized planet orbiting TOI-6894, the smallest star ever known to host such a world.

As the temperature dropped, the vast night sky became a stage for distant planets and the steady glow of thousands of stars.

Building on eight years of extraordinary discoveries by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS and SDSS-II), a new program of four coordinated surveys will revolutionize the study of the distant univer… ...
