So, you’ve been stargazing with your naked eyes or a set of binoculars, but you’re eager to see further and more detail. It might be time for a telescope. But how do you get started? “A telescope is a ...

Carnegie Science's mission is to advance investigation, research, and discovery, and to apply that knowledge for the improvement of humankind. We empower world-class investigators to pursue the ...

Carnegie's newest scientific division, Biosphere Sciences & Engineering, is devoted to disrupting the traditional, siloed perspective on research in the life sciences and pursuing an integrated ...

We report two low-mass companions orbiting the nearby K7 dwarf GJ 221 that have emerged from reanalyzing 4.4 yr of publicly available HARPS spectra complemented with 2 years of high-precision Doppler ...

We present extensive optical photometry of the afterglow of GRB 221009A. Our data cover 0.9-59.9 days from the time of Swift and Fermi gamma-ray burst (GRB) detections. Photometry in rizy-band filters ...

The spatial extent of an extreme precipitation event can be important for a basin's hydrologic response and subsequent flood risk, and may yield insights into underlying atmospheric processes. Using a ...

Carnegie Science researchers are given the time, the resources, and the community to ask big questions and forge new paths of discovery.

Ocean acidification threatens many marine organisms, especially marine calcifiers. The only global-scale solution to ocean acidification remains rapid reduction in CO2 emissions. Nevertheless, ...

Washington, DC— Pairing cutting-edge chemistry with artificial intelligence, a multidisciplinary team of scientists found fresh chemical evidence of Earth’s earliest life—concealed in 3.3-billion-year ...

For humans, the most important star in the universe is the Sun. The second most important star is nestled inside in the Andromeda galaxy. Don’t go looking for it. The flickering star is 2.2 million ...

Using data from the European Space Agency’s Gaia mission, scientists have found a huge exoplanet and a brown dwarf. This is the first time a planet has been uniquely discovered by Gaia’s ability to ...

New work examines how the presence of lighter elements in the predominantly iron core could affect the geodynamo’s genesis and sustainability. Washington, DC— How did the chemical makeup of our planet ...
