NASA’s InSight to Mars will be the first interplanetary launch from America’s West Coast. Residents in some of California’s coastal communities could get a front…
Each new season brings change. Seasonal change on land is something that we’re familiar with and adjust to regularly. But what happens to billions of…
Saturn’s moon Dione drifts before the planet’s rings, seen here almost edge-on. For all their immense width, the rings are relatively paper-thin, about 30 feet…
In the fall of 2011, the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) mission released its original Tour of the Moon, a five-minute animation that takes the viewer…
The term “superfluid quasicrystal” sounds like something a comic-book villain might use to carry out his dastardly plans. In reality, it’s a new form of…
New research from the University of York suggests that highly mobile eyebrows, which can be used to express a wide range of subtle emotions, may…
Up until about ten years ago, scientists thought they had a pretty good picture of how the moon and Earth came to co-exist. Then more…
Fluorescence imaging is widely used for visualizing biological tissues such as the back of the eye, where signs of macular degeneration can be detected. It…
Large concentrations of sulfites and bisulfites in shallow lakes may have set the stage for Earth’s first biological molecules. Around 4 billion years ago, Earth…
This NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image shows a massive galaxy cluster glowing brightly in the darkness. Despite its beauty, this cluster bears the distinctly unpoetic…
This image is packed full of galaxies! A keen eye can spot exquisite elliptical galaxies and spectacular spirals, seen at various orientations: edge-on with the…
A team of chemical and biomedical engineers from the Cockrell School of Engineering at The University of Texas at Austin, in collaboration with researchers from…
Cataclysmic variable stars (CVs) are white dwarf stars that are accreting from an orbiting, low-mass binary companion star. The accretion is facilitated by the proximity…
Astronomers are back in the dark about what dark matter might be, after new observations showed the mysterious substance may not be interacting with forces…
See intricate cloud patterns in the northern hemisphere of Jupiter in this new view taken by NASA’s Juno Spacecraft. The color-enhanced image was taken on…
Witness the most spectacular and mysterious depths of the cosmos through Hubble’s eye. These unique images are some of the best ever captured by the…
Natural bacterium isolated from mushroom crop residue converts plant-based material to butanol directly. A team of engineers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) recently…
