NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) saw a partial solar eclipse in space when it caught the moon passing in front of the sun on May…
The first science results from NASA’s Juno Mission are in and they portray Jupiter as a complex, gigantic, and turbulent world. The planet has Earth-sized…
Using data from the Large Binocular Telescope and NASA’s Hubble and Spitzer space telescopes, astronomers watched as a dying star was likely reborn as a…
NASA’s Cassini Spacecraft views the Saturnian solstice, which occurs about every 15 Earth years as the planet and its entourage slowly orbit the sun. NASA’s…
Scientists reveal that planet-sized bodies can form a new, much larger structure called a synestia – an indented disk rather like a red blood cell…
Using the Hornet and SuperMUC supercomputers in Germany and a state-of-the-art code, a team of scientists has helped uncover the history of the galaxy. Thousands…
Using data from the the high-precision science instrument CLASP (Chromospheric Lyman-Alpha Spectro-Polarimeter), scientists reveal the first-ever polarization measurements of ultraviolet light emitted from the sun’s…
In a newly published study led by Australian National University, astrophysicists reveal how most of the antimatter in the Milky Way forms. Antimatter is material…
This newly released image from the Cassini Spacecraft shows the low angle of sunlight along the slim crescent of Saturn’s moon Enceladus, highlighting the many…
Using NASA’s Kepler Space Telescope, a team of astronomers has identified a regular pattern in the orbits of the planets in the TRAPPIST-1 system. This…
This Hubble image of the week shows nebula Sh2-308 surrounding the massive and violent star named EZ Canis Majoris. The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope still…
Researchers from the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics present new models of star-forming filamentary clouds in order to quantify their properties and to predict their evolution….
First radio observations of the planetary-mass object OTS44 reveal a dusty protoplanetary disk that is very similar to disks around young stars. Astronomers are surprised…
New research from MIT shows that the origins of surface elevations on Mars and Titan are very different from that on Earth. The environment on…
NASA astronomers prepare for Juno’s fifth science flyby of Jupiter. On Thursday, May 18, at 11 p.m. PDT, NASA’s Juno spacecraft will make its fifth…
Using the Hubble Space Telescope, astronomers have uncovered a moon orbiting the third largest dwarf planet in the Kuiper Belt. Cataloged as 2007 OR10, the…
Using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), an international team of astronomers has made the first complete millimeter-wavelength image of the ring of dusty debris…
