The resulting clash of solar and terrestrial particles in Earth's atmosphere caused stunning auroras to appear at much lower latitudes than usual — and, in southern Canada, triggered a surprise cameo from the mysterious sky phenomenon known as STEVE.

The peak of the annual Perseid meteor shower shares the sky with August's full moon this week, meaning it will be difficult to view the iconic shooting stars. The Perseid meteor shower (also known as the Perseids) is one of the strongest meteor showers ...

Astronomers at the Gemini North telescope in Hawai'i have released a stunning image that shows two spiral galaxies in the process of colliding and merging. The clashing galaxies NGC 4568 and NGC 4567 — also known as the Butterfly galaxies due to the ...

Live coverage of the countdown and launch of a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Launch Complex 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The Starlink 4-26 mission will launch SpaceX's next batch of 53 Starlink broadband satellites.

But there is some hope for people looking for a decent sky show. Although the moon's bright light will make it tough for stargazers to see most of the meteors, “some shooting stars should still be bright enough to spot,” according to AccuWeather's ...

Dr Pascal Elahi, Pawsey's supercomputing applications specialist, said deploying this first phase of Setonix has increased the computing power of the Pawsey Centre by 45 per cent. “Processing data from ASKAP's astronomy surveys is a ...
