As one of the coldest places in the solar system, Titan, Saturn’s largest moon, is also one of the most dynamic. A new collection of…
Images in visible and infrared light taken with the Wide Field Channel of Hubble’s Advanced Camera for Surveys show the Antlia Dwarf galaxy that was…
Using gravitational lensing, a team of scientists believed they have observed dark matter in Abell 520. The dark matter is not behaving as predicted and…
Research complied from NASA’s Nimbus-7 satellite and the U.S. Department of Defense’s Defense Meteorological Satellite Program by senior research scientist Josefino Comiso shows how multi-year…
Ten years and counting. The Thermal Emission Imaging System onboard NASA’s Mars Odyssey orbiter has taken nearly 500,000 images and circled Mars nearly 45,000 times…
European Space Agency’s Herschel Space Observatory and NASA’s Spitzer Space Telescope have provided researchers with new images of the Orion nebula that revealed a host…
Researchers targeted 42 nearby active galaxies and used data from the European Space Agency’s XMM-Newton satellite and NASA’s Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer satellite to show…
Researchers at MIT used new data from computer simulations to prove their initially proposed theory explaining the large-scale acceleration of electrons in Earth’s magnetotail. The…
