Researchers in the US have demonstrated how quantum entanglement could be used to detect optical signals from astronomical ...

Last week, four lasers were projected into the sky above the European Southern Observatory (ESO) Paranal site in Chile. The lasers successfully created an "artificial star" that astronomers can use to ...

The wavelengths of radio light are so large that you can't capture a high-resolution image with a single dish. To capture an image as sharp as, say, the Hubble telescope, you'd need a radio dish tens ...

The first space mission led by the University of Michigan Department of Astronomy is scheduled to launch in 2029 with the support of a NASA grant worth $10 million. The mission is called ...

For more than 400 years, astronomers both professional and amateur have taken a special interest in observing Mira stars, a class of variable red giants famous for pulsations that last for 80-1,000 ...

Stellar intensity interferometry is a powerful observational technique that exploits second-order coherence properties of starlight to achieve extremely high angular resolution. Building on the ...

Stellar astronomy and planetary systems form a cornerstone of astrophysical research, uniting our understanding of the life cycles of stars with the intricate architecture of the systems that form ...

The universe holds endless mysteries, and today’s most powerful telescopes are helping us explore them like never before. These advanced instruments drive the progress of modern astronomy, using radio ...
