New simulation-based study on sleeping cataclysmic binaries supports contested 35-year-old predictions, shows that observable novae are just “tip of the iceberg.” Almost 35 years ago,…
Model developed by Brazilian researchers shows chaotic phase that placed objects in current orbits beginning within first 100 million years after formation of giant planets….
These space giants would not have had the time to develop in the young Universe. Yet, observations say they were already present; a new study…
The small red planet is losing water more quickly than what theory, as well as past observations, would suggest. The gradual disappearance of water (H2O)…
International team uses a novel approach combining gravitational-wave observations, multi-messenger astronomy, and nuclear physics to obtain the best measurement of neutron star size to date….
Along with capturing an image before its steepest ascent ever, the robotic explorer filmed its “selfie stick,” or robotic arm, in action. NASA’s Curiosity Mars…
This global map of asteroid Bennu’s surface is a mosaic of images collected by NASA’s OSIRIS-REx spacecraft between March 7 and April 19, 2019. A…

About eighty-five percent of the matter in the universe is in the form of dark matter, whose nature remains a mystery, and the rest is…
Simulations suggest that two stars came together to form a blue supergiant, which subsequently exploded. A supernova in a nearby galaxy may have originated from…
Boston University astrophysicist and collaborators reveal a new model of our heliosphere that’s shaped somewhere between a croissant and a beach ball. The heliosphere is…
Astronomers using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) have found striking orbital geometries in protoplanetary disks around binary stars. While disks orbiting the most compact binary…
