A University of Warwick astronomer has been awarded £3 million to develop a ‘digital telescope’ that will be capable of producing a highly sensitive continuous movie of the night sky.

Our solar system might be pulled into the gravity of a white dwarf star, crushed and ground to dust, according to scientists from the University of Warwick.

For the first time, signs of the rainbow-like ‘glory effect’ have been detected on a planet outside our solar system. Glory are colourful concentric rings of light that occur only under peculiar conditions.

An astronomer from the University of Warwick explains the science behind and what to expect from the upcoming Total Solar Eclipse (TSE).

For the first time, astronomers have measured the speed of fast-moving jets in space, crucial to star formation and the distribution of elements needed for life.

Scientists have revealed why some white dwarfs mysteriously stop cooling – changing ideas on just how old stars really are, and what happens to them when they die.

Astrophysicists at The University of Warwick are explaining the science behind leap years, ahead of this month’s extra date.

The XMaS Scientist Experience 2024 returns, giving an opportunity for any Year 12 UK Physics and STEM students that identify as female to immerse themselves in the world of science.

Ahead of International Day of Women and Girls in Science this Sunday, 11 February, The University of Warwick is shining the spotlight on a physicist who is developing new technology to advance the diagnosis and screening of skin cancers.

An asteroid the size of a school bus will making its closest approach to Earth this weekend.

Astronomers have discovered 85 possible planets outside of our solar system, with temperatures closer to those of our own Solar System planets, potentially cool enough to sustain life.

A University of Warwick scientist known for his work on the behaviour of the Sun’s corona is being recognised for his contribution to astrophysics.

Astronomers have made the rare discovery of a small, cold exoplanet and its massive outer companion – shedding light on the formation of planets like Earth.

Scientists are developing an experiment to test whether gravity is quantum – one of the deepest questions about our universe.

An astronomer from the University of Warwick is to investigate an intriguing type of star system to help drive our understanding of the expanding universe.

The University of Warwick has opened its doors to its brand-new Marsh Observatory – which will train astronomers of the future. The on-campus telescope facility was opened by Dame Jocelyn Bell Burnell, who discovered the first radio pulsars in 1967 and one of a handful of women to have been awarded prestigious Royal Astronomical Society gold medal.

A rare star system with six exoplanets has been discovered with an architecture unchanged for billions of years.

Five academics from the University of Warwick have been named in the 2023 Highly Cited Researcher list.

With bonfire night on the horizon, scientists reveal just why fireworks are differently coloured and what this can teach us about stars in space.

For the first time, the JWST has observed the rare merger of two dense neutron stars (known as a kilonova) – in a spiral galaxy a billion light years away.
