Observations with the instrument SPHERE at ESO's Very Large Telescope have produced an unprecedented gallery of "debris disks" in exoplanetary systems. Gaël Chauvin (Max Planck Institute for Astronomy ...

Astronomers using data from the Very Large Telescope (VLT) have revealed that the initial "breakout" phase of a supernova is elongated, not perfectly spherical. When you purchase through links on our ...

A gamma-ray burst (GRB) — the most energetic type of explosion in the universe since the Big Bang — is detected once every day, on average. But what happened on July 2, 2025, was highly unusual: ...

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) identified the earliest known supernova, occurring 730 million years after the Big Bang, by following up on the gamma-ray burst GRB 250314A detected by the SVOM ...

The James Webb Space Telescope has observed the oldest known supernova—the explosive death of a star that lived when the universe was only 730 million years old. The ancient blast occurred when the ...

Three of the four Auxiliary Telescopes of the Very Large Telescope Interferometer in Chile that were used in this study are visible in this photo. Sandwiched between the orange glow of the sunset and ...

SPHERE’s detailed images of dusty rings around young stars offer a rare glimpse into the hidden machinery of planet formation. These bright arcs and faint clouds reveal where tiny planet-building ...
