In about a billion years, our sun will transition to a red giant on its way to a white dwarf. Will Earth survive the event? A new-found planetary system gives us hope. news.berkeley.edu/2024/09/26/thi… UC Berkeley W. M. Keck Observatory Berkeley Astronomy

Astronomers have discovered an Earth-like planet 4,000 light-years away, offering a glimpse into our planet's distant future. This system features a white dwarf similar to our sun and an Earth-sized companion in a larger orbit. 🌍🔭 👉 news.berkeley.edu/2024/09/26/thi…

A mosaic image of the entire Andromeda galaxy (Messier 31, or M31), 2.5 million light years away but six times larger than the moon in the night sky, was released today (Jan. 16) by the Space Telescope Science Institute in Maryland. Video Credit: NASA 👉astro.berkeley.edu/the-hubble-spa…

The Hubble Space Telescope has completed a high-resolution portrait of our galaxy's neighbor, the Andromeda galaxy. It may be a “train wreck,” in the words of astronomer and Berkeley Astronomy professor Dan Weisz, but it’s a beautiful train wreck.✨🔭 news.berkeley.edu/2025/01/16/the…

A third outrigger radio array will go online this week at Hat Creek Observatory. “When paired with the three outriggers, we should be able to accurately pinpoint one FRB a day to its galaxy, which is substantial,” UCB Astronomer Calvin Leung said. 👉 astro.berkeley.edu/astronomers-th…
