Astronomers have discovered a giant jet spanning continuously for over 300,000 light-years blasting out of the galaxy Pictor A. In addition to the main jet,…
A newly published study from Yale University shows that moderate alcohol consumption is more harmful to people with HIV than uninfected individuals, raising the risk…
New data from the New Horizons Spacecraft reveals more water ice on Pluto’s surface than previously thought. This false-color image, derived from observations in infrared…
Take a flight over dwarf planet Ceres in this video made with images from NASA’s Dawn spacecraft. The simulated flyover was made by the mission’s…
The soft, bright-and-dark bands revealed in this new image from the Cassini Spacecraft are the signature of methane in Saturn’s atmosphere. This image was taken…
This newly released Hubble image shows peculiar galaxy NGC 1487, which is about 30 million light-years away in the southern constellation of Eridanus. Rather than…
Astronomers observe microwave radiation from the vicinity of the black hole in the active galactic nucleus known as BL Lacertae, which is 900 million light…
An international team has discovered that the LRRK2 kinase regulates cellular trafficking by deactivating Rab proteins. This finding illuminates a novel route for therapeutic development…
Using Hubble data, a team of astronomers has for the first time found young populations of stars within globular clusters that have apparently developed courtesy…
Researchers at Rice University have developed a thin coating of graphene nanoribbons in epoxy that has proven effective at melting ice on a helicopter blade….
New research from the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics suggests that oscillating heavy particles generated “clocks” in the primordial universe that could be used to determine…
