A recent image captured by the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment camera on NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter shows a twisting column of dust more than…
While looking over data from the Spitzer Galactic Legacy Infrared Mid-Plane Survey Extraordinaire (GLIMPSE) and Multiband Imaging Photometer for Spitzer Galactic (MIPSGAL) surveys, volunteers have…
The GRAIL spacecraft has officially begun its science phase and will map the gravity field of the moon three times over the next 84 days,…
Scientists are studying hot flow anomalies, HFAs, and their effect on the planet Venus. Unlike Earth, Venus is without a magnetic field and although the…
Missed by previous surveys, astronomers using FourStar found 30 red galaxies, which form the earliest known “galaxy city” in the universe, located 10.5 billion light-years…
As one of the coldest places in the solar system, Titan, Saturn’s largest moon, is also one of the most dynamic. A new collection of…
Powerful magnetic disturbances in Sol’s corona have hurled a large burst of charged particles into space on March 4th. The solar storm erupted from the…
Using the Hubble Space Telescope, astronomers probed the atmosphere around the transiting super-Earth known as GJ1214b and concluded that unless the atmosphere has a thick…
Images in visible and infrared light taken with the Wide Field Channel of Hubble’s Advanced Camera for Surveys show the Antlia Dwarf galaxy that was…
Using gravitational lensing, a team of scientists believed they have observed dark matter in Abell 520. The dark matter is not behaving as predicted and…
A team of researchers has detected all phases of thermonuclear burning in a neutron star located close to the center of the galaxy in the…
By combining data from one of Cassini’s instruments, called CAPS (Cassini Plasma Spectrometer), researchers discovered that Dione’s exosphere contains molecules of oxygen. The researchers estimate…
Ten years and counting. The Thermal Emission Imaging System onboard NASA’s Mars Odyssey orbiter has taken nearly 500,000 images and circled Mars nearly 45,000 times…
By analyzing earthshine and observing the Moon using ESO’s Very Large Telescope, researchers are using Earth as a benchmark for future discoveries of life elsewhere…
European Space Agency’s Herschel Space Observatory and NASA’s Spitzer Space Telescope have provided researchers with new images of the Orion nebula that revealed a host…
Researchers targeted 42 nearby active galaxies and used data from the European Space Agency’s XMM-Newton satellite and NASA’s Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer satellite to show…
Researchers at Washington University in St. Louis have come up with a new explanation for planetary accretion. By using classical physics and the laws of…
