A U.S. space freighter returned to Earth today after undocking from the International Space Station on Sunday morning. Back on the orbiting lab, the seven-member…
SpaceX’s upgraded Dragon cargo spacecraft splashed down at 4:05 p.m. EST off the Florida coast, marking the return of the company’s 24th contracted cargo resupply…
Today, at 2 p.m. EST, Webb fired its onboard thrusters for nearly five minutes (297 seconds) to complete the final postlaunch course correction to Webb’s…
Astronomers have spied three more exoplanets. But the discovery might not last long. Each planet is in a separate solar system, and each orbits perilously…
Researchers at University of Rochester’s Institute of Optics for first time distill novel interferometry into a photonic device. University of Rochester researchers for the first…
Despite low absolute risk, Pfizer/BioNTech BNT162b2 COVID-19 vaccine associated with increased risk of carditis. Markedly increased risk in adolescents after 2nd dose may warrant refined vaccination…
Catalog of planet candidates nearly doubles in size during 2020-21. The catalog of planet candidates found with NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) recently passed…
New study calls into question the importance of meat-eating in shaping our evolution. Quintessential human traits such as large brains first appear in Homo erectus…
DOE Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument passes 7.5 million measured galaxy redshifts. The Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) has cataloged more galaxies than all other previous…
SOFIA recently completed a new set of observations of Venus to study the chemical composition of the planet’s atmosphere. Observing Venus was particularly challenging. Venus…
Chimpanzees don’t automatically know what to do when they come across nuts and stones. Researchers at the University of Zurich have now used field experiments…
Findings shed light on factors behind Omicron’s increased transmissibility, including strong antibody evasion and binding with human cells. Researchers at UBC’s faculty of medicine have…
Researchers at Harvard’s Wyss Institute, Harvard Medical School, and the ETH Zurich predict and validate genomic safe harbors for therapeutic genes, enabling safer, more efficient,…
Liquid water previously detected under Mars’ ice-covered south pole is probably just a dusty mirage, according to a new study of the red planet led…
In July 2017, a giant iceberg, named A-68, snapped off Antarctica’s Larsen-C ice shelf and began an epic journey across the Southern Ocean. Three and…
We often think of supernova explosions as inevitable for large stars. Big star runs out of fuel, gravity collapses its core, and BOOM! But astronomers…
A retired microscope and samples from studies on colloids and cellular signaling are among the cargo returning from the International Space Station aboard the 24th…
