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.
A new image taken with the globe-spanning Event Horizon Telescope array reveals the black hole at the center of the M87 galaxy and its shadow in polarized light. The EHT network of telescopes includes the UArizona ARO Submillimeter Telescope on Mt. Graham in Arizona.
A UArizona astronomer explains the science behind the changing of the seasons and the impetus behind why most states change their clocks twice a year.
Engineers at the Richard F. Caris Mirror Lab are casting the sixth of seven mirror segments that together will make up the primary mirror of the Giant Magellan Telescope, currently under construction in Chile's Atacama Desert.
Astronomers can now use ground-based telescopes to capture images of planets that could potentially harbor life within the habitable zone of the Alpha Centauri star system.
Astronomers have observed the most distant quasar to date. Formed 670 million years after the Big Bang, it provides insight into the formation of massive galaxies in the early universe.
NASA has selected Carlos Vargas, a UArizona postdoctoral researcher, to lead a $20 million mission to build a space telescope that will map vast regions of star-forming gas that have eluded observation for decades.
NASA awarded approximately $12 million to UArizona astrobiology researchers to establish research teams tasked with advancing our fundamental understanding of early Earth.
Elisabeth Krause has been selected for a Packard Fellowship for Science and Engineering. The $875,000 award will allow her to expand her research on the structure of the universe.
