Within a galaxy hosting around 300 billion stars, here the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has captured a mere handful or two — just about enough…
All four RS-25 engines were structurally mated to the core stage for NASA’s Space Launch System (SLS) rocket for Artemis I, the first mission of…
Scientists have reported detecting gravitational waves from 10 black hole mergers to date, but they are still trying to explain the origins of those mergers….
Astronomers using the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope have observed a galaxy in the distant regions of the Universe which appears duplicated at least 12 times…
NASA’s Neutron star Interior Composition Explorer (NICER) telescope on the International Space Station detected a sudden spike of X-rays at about 10:04 p.m. EDT on…
In this time-lapse video, taken on October 9, 2019, at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, bunny-suited engineers move the Mars 2020 rover from…
Scientists from Germany and the United States have unveiled the results of a newly-completed, state of the art simulation of the evolution of galaxies. TNG50…
Molecular hydrogen (H2) makes up 99% of the cold dense gas in galaxies. So mapping where stars are born basically means measuring H2, which lacks…
The glow of the Milky Way — our galaxy seen edgewise — arcs across a sea of stars in an incredible new mosaic of the…
Views of giant planet in wild orbit would be unparalleled. Contrary to previous thought, a gigantic planet in wild orbit does not preclude the presence…

One year ago, on November 5, 2018, NASA’s Voyager 2 became only the second spacecraft in history to leave the heliosphere — the protective bubble…
Rice University team models stellar activity on Milky Way neighbors to judge impact on planets. An exoplanet may seem like the perfect spot to set…
A new movie of the Cassiopeia A supernova remnant shows how it has evolved over more than a dozen years in X-ray light. NASA’s Chandra…
A giant-impacts phase in the evolution of planetary systems can explain the observations of close-in giant planets with eccentric orbits. As planetary systems evolve, gravitational…
