The star is surrounded by a giant cocoon of dust, revealing it is in the last stages before becoming a supernova. This video su…
Astronomers have discovered that the next target for Japan’s Hayabusa2 spacecraft, the asteroid 1998 KY26, is almost three times smaller than previously thought, and spinning much faster than expected. This study was conducted using ESO’s Very Large Telescope, and its results offer important new in…
