Researchers using the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope are getting their first look at star formation, gas, and dust in nearby galaxies with unprecedented resolution at infrared wavelengths. The data have enabled an initial collection of 21 research papers which provide new insight into how some of the smallest-scale processes in the Universe — the beginnings of star formation — impact the evolution of the largest objects in our cosmos: galaxies.

Searching through existing data spanning 9 billion years, a team of researchers led by scientists at University of Hawai?i at Manoa has uncovered the first evidence of "cosmological coupling" -a newly predicted phenomenon in Einstein's theory of gravity, possible only when black holes are placed inside an evolving universe. Astrophysicists Duncan Farrah and Kevin Croker led this ambitious

When neutron stars collide they produce an explosion that, contrary to what was believed until recently, is shaped like a perfect sphere. Although how this is possible is still a mystery, the discovery may provide a new key to fundamental physics and to measuring the age of the Universe. The discovery was made by astrophysicists from the University of Copenhagen and has just been published in th

Celebrating our second year orbiting the red Planet, the Emirates Mars Mission 'Hope Probe', the first Arab-led planetary exploration mission, is transitioning to a new orbit. The orbital transfer will allow the Hope Probe to fly within approximately 150 Km and capture unprecedented data on Deimos, the smaller and outermost of the two natural satellites of Mars. The new historical move wil
