Astronomers recorded the longest gamma-ray burst in history, GRB 250702B, that may be a cosmic event completely new to ...

Recent research has uncovered a surprising twist in the search for extraterrestrial life: cosmic rays, typically seen as hazardous to life, may actually support alien life on cold, dark moons in our ...

Cosmic radiation could be a boon for subsurface life on worlds such as Europa (left), Mars (center) and Enceladus (right), according to a new study. The traditional astrophysical recipe for life as we ...

NASA measures radiation over Greenland to improve aviation safety and validate models that predict cosmic doses polar flight ...

Cosmic rays consist of highly energetic particles and atomic nuclei that move through space at nearly the speed of light. They are produced by stars, supernovas and, in some cases, black holes. On ...

XRISM found a slow, thick wind from a neutron star, pointing to temperature as the key driver of cosmic wind behavior. The ...

Although this spiral galaxy appears unremarkable from afar, NGC 7456 is bursting with newborn stars and glowing gas, ...
