The European satellite, launched in 2013, has exhausted its gas reserves and is preparing to return to a stable orbit before being 'passivated.' But while the data collection that revolutionized ...

Astronomers tracking mysterious fast radio bursts (FRBs) stumbled upon an unexpected cosmic puzzle. A burst was detected from ...

Astronomer Calvin Leung was excited last summer to crunch data from a newly commissioned radio telescope to precisely pinpoint the origin of repeated bursts of intense radio waves—so-called fast radio ...

Fast radio bursts are mysterious and brief flashes of radio emissions that were thought to be produced by magnetars, highly magnetized rotating neutron stars. Yet magnetars appear primarily in young ...

The Gaia mission, launched by the European Space Agency, has completed a decade of groundbreaking astronomical observations, collecting over three trillion data points on two billion stars and ...

Gaia, the European Space Agency’s observatory that is mapping the Milky Way, has completed the sky-scanning phase of its mission - and its fuel is now nearly empty.
