Researchers have used new clues from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to provide a fascinating insight into how the exoplanet WASP-121b formed.
20 years of observations have given us more knowledge about the icy giant.
The JWST shows that ice on Europa is developing at different rates in different places, such as Tara Regio, where crystalline ice (lighter colors) is found on the surface as well as below the surface.
A team at the National Solar Observatory is using AO to examine the Sun's corona in unprecedented detail.
In a new study we report the discovery of a new long-period transient – and, for the first time, one that also emits regular bursts of X-rays.
After a decade of searching, NASA's MAVEN (Mars Atmosphere Volatile Evolution) mission has, for the first time, reported a direct observation of an elusive atmospheric escape process called sputtering.
China joins the asteroid sample return game, with the ambitious Tianwen 2 mission, which launched successfully on Thursday (local time).
Researchers from Nanjing University in China and the University of Bonn in Germany have run calculations suggesting we've overestimated the strength of the Cosmic Microway Background. In fact, it might not even be there at all.
Binary star systems are pairs of stars held together by gravity, orbiting a common center of mass.
The record-breaking galaxy is revealing secrets about the first stars and their unexpected chemical fingerprints.
A US-trio appears to have discovered a distant dwarf planet with a 25,000-year orbit bringing it into the ring of icy rocks around the solar system - the Oort cloud.
Curiosity triggered a thought-provoking conversation about light - ultimately, why doesn't light wear out and lose energy over time?
Dangerous rocks may co-orbit with Venus, but new research suggests only a space-based mission can prove it.
New research suggests that Jupiter used to be at least twice as big as it is today . Over time, the bloated world cooled off, contracting to the relatively humbler size it is today.
The moment one galaxy spears another with a powerful beam of radiation shooting from its central black hole has been spotted in a distant galactic collision.
