Observations by NASA's NuSTAR X-ray telescope give astronomers new clues about the brightest and most energetic gamma-ray burst ever detected. When scientists detected the gamma-ray burst known as GRB 221009A on Oct. 9, 2022, they dubbed it the brightest of all time, or BOAT. Most gamma-ray bursts occur when the core of a star more massive than our Sun collapses, becoming a black hole.

The small, distant galaxy JD1 is typical of the kind that burned through hydrogen left over from the Big Bang Science + Technology The small, distant galaxy JD1 is typical of the kind that burned through hydrogen left over from the Big Bang After the Big Bang, the universe expanded and cooled sufficiently for hydrogen atoms to form.

Astronomers discover the last three planets the Kepler telescope observed before going dark.

While water vapor was previously detected in the atmosphere of exoplanet WASP-18b-an ultrahot gas giant 10 times more massive than Jupiter-University of Michigan scientists have confirmed that NASA's James Webb Space Telescope unveiled once-hidden water features that had eluded the ground-based Hubble Space Telescope.

Statistics tools support the idea that all radio bursts may repeat if observed long enough. Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are repeating flashes of radio waves that remain a source of mystery to astronomers.
