On March 21, 2022, the number of known exoplanets passed 5,000 according to the NASA Exoplanet Archive. This animation and sonification tracks humanity's discovery of the planets beyond our solar system over time. Turning NASA data...

A team of astronomers at The Ohio State University watched a star disappear and possibly become a black hole. Instead of becoming a black hole through the expected process of a supernova, the black hole candidate formed...

The Webb Telescope will be the premier observatory of the next decade, serving thousands of astronomers worldwide. It will study every phase in the history of our Universe, ranging from the first luminous glows after the Big Bang, to...

This video provides a description of the planet Mercury, the closest planet to the sun in our solar system. It highlights key facts about Mercury, such as its diameter, mass, lack of moons, and orbit period. The video also mentions the...

The universe is microwaving itself. A mystery signal discovered in the 1960s led to a Nobel prize. In this video, Dianna explores one of the most mysterious discoveries in physics - a constant microwave signal that seemed to be coming...

The telescope’s towers and detector platform came crashing down last week, just as a regional earthquake’s wave train passed through the site.

On schedule to launch in the mid-2020s, NASA’s Wide Field Infrared Survey Telescope (WFIRST) mission will help uncover some of the biggest mysteries in the cosmos. The state-of-the-art telescope on the...

Humans have always looked up at the sky. They used astronomy to track time, orient their cities, decide when to plant their crops, and even based their religious practices on their celestial world. But there was much more to learn.<br/>
