The observatory has achieved this milestone over 28 years in space, even though it was never designed to be a comet hunter.
The differential rotation seems to be reined in by long-period oscillations of sound waves in the convection zone that can be detected on the surface as swirling motions around the poles.
A total solar eclipse takes place on April 8 across North America.
A new image from the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) collaboration has uncovered strong and organised magnetic fields spiraling from the edge of the supermassive black hole Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*).
A grain of dust recovered from an ancient meteorite that plonked itself down in Antarctica appears to be from a rather unusual place in space and time.
MeerKAT telescope has already achieved some great results, from detecting giant radio galaxies to studying the centre of our own galaxy, the Milky Way.
NASA invested hundreds of millions of dollars in potential replacements for the International Space Station (ISS), with Jeff Bezos’ Orbital Reef passing crucial milestones.
Computer simulations are giving us new insight into the riotous behavior of cannibal neutron stars.
A team of scientists have found that a single meteorite was likely responsible for creating billions of craters on the Martian surface.
A search for the first stars that winked into existence at the dawn of the Universe has yielded one of the oldest stars we've found yet, right next door to our own galaxy.
Towards the center of the galaxy, two streams of stars nearly as old as the Universe have been discovered circling the heart of the Milky Way. These two streams have been named Shiva and Shakti.
How stable are planetary systems? Will Earth and its seven siblings always continue in their steady celestial paths, or might we one day be randomly ejected from our cosmic home?
An international team of scientists led by astronomers from Tartu Observatory of the University of Tartu has discovered many superclusters in the universe, with the most prominent among them named the 'Einasto Supercluster'.
A star system, located 3,000 light-years away from Earth, is predicted to become visible to the unaided eye soon. This could be a once-in-a-lifetime viewing opportunity as the nova ouburst only occurs about every 80 years.
Betelgeuse's boiling surface could be so riotous that it generates an illusion of fast rotation.
