UArizona is providing the software hub for the NEID spectrometer on Kitt Peak as the instrument begins its mission to discover Earth-like planets elsewhere in the Milky Way.
Researchers used detailed observations of an enormous jet of glowing gas and dust to pinpoint the supermassive black hole at the center of galaxy Centaurus A.
For two more years, NASA's Near-Earth Object Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer, or NEOWISE, will continue its hunt for asteroids and comets – including objects that could pose a hazard to Earth.
Scientists have reconstructed the history of a dust grain that formed during the birth of the solar system. Their findings provide new insights into the formation of planetary systems.
Infrared astronomy expert Amy Mainzer will lead NASA's NEO Surveyor mission to find, track and characterize yet unseen asteroids and comets that may pose a threat to Earth.
UArizona researchers have observed, in unprecedented detail, organic molecules in planetary nebulae. Their work sheds new light on how stars form and die.
An international team of scientists, including several from UArizona, has completed the largest-ever map of the universe, spanning more than 7 billion light-years.
A wake of stars, created by a small galaxy set to collide with the Milky Way, is the highlight of a new map of the Milky Way's outer reaches.
Tools and methods developed by Daniel Apai's research group at UArizona will help study the atmosphere of exoplanets as part of NASA's Pandora mission concept.
