A new four minute video from Science at NASA explores the surprising behavior of “cool flames” on the International Space Station, revealing a cool-burning form…
In this newly released image, the Hubble Space Telescope views two galaxies that are currently colliding to form a new one. The contorted object captured…
A newly published study bridges the gap between theory and black hole observation, confirming how stellar-mass black holes produce their highest-energy light by demonstrating that…
Scientists using the Hubble Space Telescope have discovered evidence that a planet is forming 7.5 billion miles away from its star in a vast protoplanetary…
Data from NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter has indicated that temperatures rise and fall twice a day on Mars, with a rise during the nighttime as…
Using data from 152 observations of Chandra spanning over 13 years, researchers discovered twenty-six new stellar-mass black hole candidates in Andromeda, also known as M31….
By examining images from NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter and performing experiments on sand dunes in Utah and California, researchers believe that marks on the Martian…
NuSTAR data reveals that the once active supermassive black hole at the center of the Sculptor galaxy, also known as NGC 253, is now dormant,…
A new three minute video from Science@NASA takes a closer look at asteroid 1998 QE2 and its moon as it passed by Earth in early…
Taken by Hubble’s Wide Field Camera 3 in 2009, this NASA image of the day shows NGC 6302, also known as the Butterfly Nebula. The…
