Voyagers detect birth pains of stars Far beyond the orbit of Pluto, the two ageing Voyager spacecraft have detected ultraviolet light that confirms that a type of radiation known as Lyman-alpha emissions come from parts of the Milky Way where stars are born. It isn't a surprising find, but it's impo...

Astronomers have discovered 12 new moons orbiting Saturn, bringing its number of natural satellites to 46. The moons are small, irregular bodies - probably only about 3-7km in size (assuming they have a surface albedo of 4%) - that are far from Saturn and take about two years to complete one o...

A 400-year-old set of "moon maps" created by a little-known Englishman are to go on display to mark the launch of the International Year of Astronomy. Experts say they prove their creator - Thomas Harriot - beat Galileo to become the first man to view the moon through a telescope. The Itali...
