Recently, a research team led by Prof. GOU Yanyu from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) found that the solar outburst structure undergoes a complex reconfiguration evolution during the early outbursts, thus making important advances in the study of solar outburst activity. This study was published in Nature Astronomy.

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), the most powerful telescope ever launched into space, will soon get a new "sidekick"-a small but nimble satellite that borrows its name from a multicolored sea creature.
Last month, NASA selected the $8.5 million space mission, which is called Monitoring Activity from Nearby sTars with uv Imaging and Spectroscopy (MANTIS). This "CubeSat," or mini-s

In the early universe, the gas between stars and galaxies was opaque - energetic starlight could not penetrate it. But 1 billion years after the big bang, the gas had become completely transparent.

An international team of astronomers is the first to apply an old technique to discover a new type of planet that orbits two stars - what is known as a circumbinary planet. As an added bonus, researchers found a second planet that is orbiting the same two stars, which is only the second confirmed multi-planet circumbinary system found to date.
