Using a peer-review process that evaluated innovativeness and technical viability, NASA has selected eight technology proposals for investment that have the potential to transform future…
NASA’s Cassini Spacecraft views Saturn’s Rings and its neighboring moon Prometheus. Most planetary rings appear to be shaped, at least in part, by moons orbiting…
This newly released Hubble image shows lenticular galaxy NGC 5308, which is located roughly 100 million light-years away. This NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image shows…
A new measurement of the dust around KIC 8462852 reveals that it seems to be consistent with the breakup of a cluster of Halley-like comets….
By combining the Chandra data with 30 years worth of observations, scientists have made a movie of the evolution of Tycho’s supernova remnant. When the…
Using newly processed observations, astronomers spot tell-tale signs that the slow solar wind passing Earth originated from a magnetic phenomenon known as magnetic reconnection. From…
NASA’s Kepler Space Telescope has verified 1,284 new planets – the single largest finding of planets to date. “This announcement more than doubles the number…
New research clarifies the mystery of the unusual fluctuations in light coming from distant star KIC 8462852. Sorry, E.T. lovers, but the results of a…
Researchers from MIT have developed a new approach that identifies genetic markers linked to complex diseases. Many diseases, such as cancer, diabetes, and schizophrenia, tend…
This newly released ESO image of the week shows the Vela ring galaxy, visible as a bright core surrounded by a baby blue halo. As…
No two bacteria are identical – even when they are genetically the same. New research reveals the conditions under which bacteria become individualists and how…
Using data from NASA’s MESSENGER mission, astronomers created the first global digital elevation model (DEM) of Mercury, revealing in stunning detail the topography across the…
Cassini gets a closer look at Saturn’s little moon Epimetheus. Life is hard for a little moon. Epimetheus, seen here with Saturn in the background,…
This newly released Hubble image shows spiral galaxy NGC 6814, which is located 75 million light-years away. Spiral galaxies together with irregular galaxies make up…
NASA’s New Horizons Spacecraft reveals a distinct water-ice signature on the surface of Pluto’s outermost moon, Hydra. NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft has sent home the…
A new study of turbulence in galaxies concludes that in many cases it is generated not by star formation but by gravitational effects alone. The…
Researchers show that a single molecule allows a beam of light with a few photons to be controlled – a step towards the photonic computer….
