The mighty James Webb and Hubble space telescopes united to reveal stars being born inside the Small Magellanic Cloud, which orbits the Milky Way.

A new 527-megapixel image captures two open star clusters, NGC 456 and NGC 460, orbiting our Milky Way galaxy. The image uses ...

Scientists say they still “don’t completely understand” what happened to the star Betelgeuse, one of the brightest in the night sky.

The light that the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope collected to create this image reached the telescope after a journey of ...

Betelgeuse is now so huge now that if it replaced the sun at the center of our solar system, its outer surface would extend past the orbit of Jupiter. Dupree used Hubble to resolve hot spots on the ...

Scientists analyzing data from the Hubble Space Telescope and several other observatories now think Betelgeuse literally blew its top in 2019, and that the event is still affecting the star's ...

The Hubble Space Telescope has captured a never-before-seen phenomenon following a titanic ejection of Betelgeuse’s surface calculated at 400 billion times the mass of a solar flare.

Astronomers using observations from the Hubble Space Telescope have come up with a new theory as to why the star Betelgeuse is dimming. The researchers … ...

A 2020 image of Betelgeuse as seen by the Hubble Space Telescope. Image: ESO/Digitized Sky Survey 2. Acknowledgment: Davide De Martin. A stellar binary could explain the red supergiant's pattern ...

Betelgeuse, a red supergiant, has been getting brighter over the last few months, leading scientists to suggest it may explode sooner than expected.

A gorgeous new image from the Hubble Space Telescope shows a triple star system, including HP Tau, that's less than 10 million years old.
