The cosmic superstructure Quipu is more than 13,000 times the length of the Milky Way, and its mass is 200 quadrillion times ...

Since its launch in 2013, Gaia has been dedicated to creating an accurate three-dimensional map of the Milky Way. Using two high-precision optical telescopes, the spacecraft carefully records the ...

Astronomers have identified what they believe to be the largest structure in the universe to date. Named "Quipu" after the ancient Incan method of record-keeping, this colossal superstructure ...

"They are everywhere!" A terrifying finding made in a solar system void. The discovery of a record-mass stellar black hole in our galaxy.

Scientists using data from the European Space Agency’s Gaia mission have made a groundbreaking discovery: a massive exoplanet ...

The protoplanetary disk is actually a Herbig-Haro object dubbed HH 30. Such objects are glowing regions in space that contain ...

Data from the Gaia spacecraft shows that even unassuming stars can host monumental companions like massive planets.

"With an orbital period of 570 days, it is a relatively cold gas giant planet," said Guðmundur Stefánsson of the University ...

Astronomers have long relied on two main methods to detect exoplanets—the transit method, which looks for dips in a star’s ...

The ESA’s Gaia mission mapped the positions and velocities of stars with extreme precision by measuring about one billion ...

Using data from the European Space Agency's Gaia mission, scientists have found a huge exoplanet and a brown dwarf. This is the first time a planet has been uniquely discovered by Gaia's ability to ...

The Gaia telescope aimed to create an accurate and detailed 3D map of billions of stars in our galaxy. Its findings have flipped astronomers' understanding of the Milky Way on its head and have led to ...
