Theory of loop quantum cosmology describes how tiny primordial features account for anomalies at the largest scales of the universe. While Einstein’s theory of general…
The #LaunchAmerica mission aboard SpaceX’s Crew Dragon “Endeavour” spacecraft that brought NASA astronauts Robert Behnken and Douglas Hurley back to Earth marked the first splashdown…
The NASA rover touched down eight years ago, on August 5, 2012, and will soon be joined by a second rover, Perseverance. NASA’s Curiosity Mars…
Using the supersharp radio “vision” of the National Science Foundation’s continent-wide Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA), astronomers have discovered a Saturn-sized planet closely orbiting a…
A study led by researchers at the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC), making comparison between the discs of several pairs of spiral galaxies, active…
Water is a key substance in the meteorology of planets and is believed to play a key role in their formation. Terrestrial storms are driven…
Calcium-rich supernova examined with X-rays for first time. Half of all the calcium in the universe — including the very calcium in our teeth and…
Free-flying robots, planetary bodies, and water droplets were just part of Tuesday’s research plan aboard the International Space Station. The Expedition 63 trio also serviced…
Planet-forming environments can be much more complex and chaotic than previously expected. This is evidenced by a new image of the star RU Lup, made…
A new set of images captured this spring by the Colour and Stereo Surface Imaging System (CaSSIS) on the ESA-Roscosmos ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter shows…
Last week marked the completion of a major milestone on the path to spacecraft assembly, test, and launch operations for NASA’s Lucy mission. The Systems…
By making their own lava and cooled glass, scientists find these materials likely aren’t responsible for the unexpected glow of some exoplanets. Arguably some of…
Watch raw footage of the 2:48 p.m. EDT, Sunday, August 2, 2020, splashdown of SpaceX’s Crew Dragon Endeavour spacecraft in the Gulf of Mexico off…
NASA astronauts Robert Behnken and Douglas Hurley splashed down safely in the Gulf of Mexico Sunday afternoon aboard the SpaceX Crew Dragon “Endeavour,” wrapping up…
Berkeley Lab scientists contribute to study exploring magnetization preserved for billions of years in meteorite samples. X-ray experiments at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab)…
Early Mars was covered in ice sheets, not flowing rivers. A large number of the valley networks scarring Mars’s surface were carved by water melting…
A satellite has revealed ancient Martian rivers in more detail than ever before. Researchers have spent decades looking for evidence of ancient water on Mars….
