Astronomers have observed a star being absorbed by a supermassive black hole in the Eridanus constellation, revealing unprecedented details about tidal disruption events.
The VLT detects a periodic signal around brown dwarf CD-35 2722 B, suggesting a planetary-mass companion that could represent the first exomoon candidate.
The VLT of ESO has captured the clearest image ever of Betelgeuse B, confirming a century-old hypothesis about the companion star of Betelgeuse.
Observations from the Very Large Telescope reveal a moon-like object orbiting a brown dwarf in the CD-35 2722 system, challenging existing definitions of moons and planets.
A team of astronomers has found the clearest evidence to date that some planets outside our solar system may exhibit magnetic fields, marking the first reliable detection of magnetism on exoplanets.
