New research suggests that rocks in the Martian crust could produce the same kind of chemical energy that supports microbial life deep beneath Earth’s surface….
NASA’s SpaceX Crew-2 astronauts are in orbit following their early morning launch bound for the International Space Station for the second commercial crew rotation mission…
The small rotorcraft’s horizons were expanded on its second flight. NASA’s Ingenuity helicopter successfully completed its second Mars flight on April 22 – the 18th…
[Update: Follow-up work argues that V723 Monocerotis does not contain a black hole, but is a mass-transfer binary containing a red giant and a subgiant…
The highlight of the new chart is a wake of stars, stirred up by a small galaxy set to collide with the Milky Way. The…
Our planet is surrounded by spacecraft helping us study our changing climate, save lives following disasters, deliver global communication and navigation services and help us…
Stars spin faster than expected as they age according to a new study led by scientists at the University of Birmingham which uses asteroseismology to…
A team of astronomers led by Dutch scientists has directly imaged a giant planet orbiting at a large distance around a sun-like star. Why this…
The milestone, which the MOXIE instrument achieved by converting carbon dioxide into oxygen, points the way to future human exploration of the Red Planet. The…
Using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), astronomers found a rotating baby galaxy 1/100th the size of the Milky Way at a time when the…
Discovery a ‘coup’ in astrophysics involving observations with nine instruments. A team of astronomers including Carnegie’s Alycia Weinberger and former-Carnegie postdoc Meredith MacGregor, now an…
