TEHRAN (ANA)- Using supercomputers and the help of thousands of citizen scientists around the world, researchers with The University of Texas at Austin have now revealed the locations of more than 200,000 new astronomical objects.

TEHRAN (ANA)- Astronomers released a gargantuan survey of the galactic plane of the Milky Way which contains a staggering 3.32 billion celestial objects -- arguably the largest such catalog so far, according to the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy (AURA).

TEHRAN (ANA)- A team of astronomers, led by Northwestern University, has developed the most extensive inventory to date of the galaxies where short gamma-ray bursts (SGRBs) originate.

TEHRAN (ANA)- Astronomers at Ohio State University discovered a black hole with just three times the mass of the sun, making it one of the smallest found to date—and it happens to be the closest known black hole, at just 1,500 light-years from Earth.

TEHRAN (ANA)- Planet-making disks around young stars typically last for five million to 10 million years, researchers at Forschungszentrum Jülich in Germany reported.

TEHRAN (ANA)- Using the James Webb Space Telescope to look back in time at the early universe, astronomers at Johns Hopkins University discovered a surprise; a cluster of galaxies merging together around a rare red quasar within a massive black hole.

TEHRAN (ANA)- Iranian National Observatory (INO), the largest home-grown scientific facility project, has recorded the first light image of its 3.4m optical telescope, which marks a major achievement.

TEHRAN (ANA)- Scientists at the University of Porto discovered barium in the atmosphere of two exoplanets – the heaviest element ever found- by using the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope (ESO’s VLT).

TEHRAN (ANA)- China's Shenzhou-14 astronauts will conduct extravehicular activities (EVAs) for the second time within the next few days, the China Manned Space Agency (CMSA) announced.
