Using multiple telescopes around the world, including European Southern Observatory (ESO) facilities, researchers have uncovered a living star that is likely to become a magnetar, an ultra-magnetic dead star. This video summarises the discovery.

Using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), astronomers have found the possible sibling of a planet orbiting a distant star. This video summarises the discovery.

Using ESO's VISTA telescope, astronomers have created a vast infrared atlas of five nearby stellar nurseries by piecing together more than one million images.

Using ESOs Very Large Telescope, astronomers have found the fingerprints left by the explosions of the first stars.

Using ALMA, astronomers have detected a large reservoir of hot gas in the still-forming galaxy cluster around the Spiderweb galaxy the most distant detection of such hot gas yet. This further reveals just how early these structures begin to form.

Using ALMA, astronomers have detected the chemical signature of gaseous water in the planet-forming disc V883 Orionis. This acts as a timestamp for the waters formation, allowing us to trace its journey.

Using ESOs Very Large Telescope, barium has been detected in the atmosphere of two exoplanets.

The black hole police, a team of astronomers known for debunking black hole discoveries, reported finding a "needle in a haystack". After searching nearly 1000 stars outside our galaxy, they found that one of them has a stellar-mass black hole a

What does it take to capture an image of the black hole at the centre of our galaxy? This video explains how the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) works, and how astronomers managed to create one massive

Astronomers have discovered a new type of explosion occurring on white dwarf stars in two-star systems. This video summarises the discovery.
