NASA offers a collection of space photos and videos featuring stars, planets, moons, and galaxies. Most of these images and videos are free to use and share.

Babies born this year will receive special edition patriotic cards featuring stars, stripes, and Social Security references. The cards are described as a keepsake provided by 'Uncle Sam.'

A user reports receiving excessive spam pull requests and inflated stars on GitHub, primarily from bots and 'vibe coders' aiming to boost profiles. They seek alternative platforms for hosting projects.

The Hubble telescope captured an image of a swarm of stars within an irregular galaxy. The photo is featured as the Space photo of the day for 2026.

Stars appear different colors in the night sky due to variations in their surface temperatures and chemical compositions. Cooler stars emit redder light, while hotter stars emit bluer light, with color directly linked to these physical properties.

Scientists proposed a new method to detect tightly bound supermassive black hole pairs by observing stars that flash repeatedly due to gravitational magnification. The timing and brightness of these bursts could reveal black holes spiraling toward a collision.

The article explores the origins of stars and light, and questions whether dark energy, a hidden sector of particles and forces, influences the cosmos.

An astronaut aboard the International Space Station captured a stunning image of auroras over Earth, showcasing the ISS solar panels and a star-filled expanse of outer space. The photo, taken on May 28, 2026, highlights the natural beauty of Earth's atmosphere and the vastness of space.

Massive dust discs around active nuclei at galaxy centers may form millions of rocky planets, some as large as stars. Supermassive black holes are at the centers of these galaxies.

Scientists used advanced supercomputer plasma simulations to discover how the universe creates large magnetic fields from turbulence. This breakthrough could enhance understanding of stars, black holes, neutron star collisions, and solar eruptions.

The article introduces sidewalk stargazing as a method to learn the night sky while walking in urban areas, emphasizing how it helps identify bright stars, constellations, and track celestial changes.
