New discoveries lead scientists to believe 'UFOs' are coming out of black holes and altering galaxies.

Black holes are still a mysterious force of spacetime, with the first image of one having been released just a few short months ago. Now, a new study suggests that "UFOs" are coming out of them, helping to reshape galaxies along the way.

Neutrinos are perhaps the most underrated particles known to humankind. Physicist, smart guy and smart aleck Wolfgang Pauli first proposed their existence in 1930 as a missing puzzle piece — certain nuclear reactions had more going in than they had coming out. Pauli reasoned that something tiny and invisible had to be involved — hence, the neutrino, which is kind of Italian for "little neutral one." 

Data from NASA’s Spitzer Space Telescope has given scientists a first glimpse into conditions on the surface of a rocky exoplanet beyond the solar system.

A black hole swallowing a neutron star has likely been detected for the first time, according to scientists.

The Hubble Space Telescope has spotted a "jellyfish"-like star deep in space, located in the Orion constellation.

The black hole at the center of our Milky Way galaxy is behaving strangely, according to astronomers.

Cosmic dust found in Antarctic snow was likely birthed in a distant supernova millions of years ago. The dust's interstellar journey eventually brought the material to Earth, where scientists discovered the ancient grains.

NASA has captured a phenomenon in space that has eluded humanity for centuries — an "interplanetary shock."

Stargazers are in for a treat on Monday and Tuesday when the annual Perseid meteor reaches its peak.
