Meteoroids striking Mars produce seismic signals that can reach deeper into the planet than previously known.
The Alpha Centauri (AC) star system is our nearest stellar neighbour and it is moving toward us, presenting an excellent opportunity to study how material might move between Solar Systems.
A Canadian-led team of international astronomers has made a groundbreaking discovery about how young planets form and grow using a creative approach with unique tools of the James Webb Space Telescope.
On 13 February 2023, an undersea detector off the coast of Sicily picked up a record-breaking neutrino event. The particle's energy was estimated to be a whopping 220 petaelectronvolts.
An international team has confirmed the discovery of a super-Earth orbiting in the habitable zone of a nearby Sun-like star.
Last year, a study proposed that deposits of carbon dioxide ice and other carbon-bearing molecules on Uranus's moon Ariel likely originated from chemical processes inside the moon—possibly even from a subsurface ocean.
This new image of the protostar HH30 is in amazing new detail thanks to the JWST. The image shows the protoplanetary disk seen edge on, with a conical outflow of gas and dust, with a narrow jet blasting out into space.
Using the European Space Agency’s Euclid space telescope, astronomers have accidentally found a complete Einstein ring around a nearby galaxy known as NGC 6505.
In the months following massive solar storm in May, 2024, Earth was girded by two new, temporary radiation belts of high-energy particles, trapped by the planet's magnetic field.
January 2025 was 1.75°C above the pre-industrial level and was the 18th month in the last nineteen months for which the global-average surface air temperature was more than 1.5°C above the pre-industrial level.
Ring galaxies are rare, but we think we know how they form. A new, early-stage version, the Bullseye galaxy, provides a new testing ground.
A team of astronomers have mapped the nearby universe, from about 425 million to 800 million light-years (which translates to some 130 to 250 megaparsecs), and discovered the largest-known structure residing there.
Bennu has a 1-in-2,700 chance of colliding with Earth in 2182, causing a global winter and drought.
New research shows that when an asteroid slammed into the moon billions of years ago, it carved out a pair of grand canyons on the lunar far side.
Scientist have concluded water did not arrive as early during Earth's formation as previously thought.
