(Article translated to English) Astronomers from the University of Amsterdam have developed a model to explain the formation of planetary system Trappist-1 and other compact…
New composite images captured by ESA’s Mars Express offer a window into the watery past of the Red Planet. This 70 km-wide (43 mile-wide) crater…
Researchers used images from Cassini’s imaging cameras to create the first movie to show Saturn’s hexagon in color filters, and the first movie to show…
Using the Hubble Space Telescope astronomers compare two seemingly similar “hot Jupiter” exoplanets, finding that WASP-67 b and HAT-P-38 b have very different atmospheres. Is…
An international team of astronomers has discovered a planet like Jupiter zipping around its host star every day, boiling at temperatures hotter than most stars…
NASA’s Dawn Spacecraft captured this image of the Kerwan crater (the largest crater on Ceres) from an altitude of about 915 miles. The 16-mile-wide (26-kilometer-wide)…
Using data from NASA’s Curiosity Rover, new research reveals that a long-lasting lake on ancient Mars provided stable environmental conditions that differed significantly from one…
An international team of astronomers show that a giant gas planet – up to 50x the mass of Jupiter, encircled by a ring of dust…
New data from NASA’s Cassini Spacecraft reveals evidence that the active south polar region of Enceladus — the fractured terrain seen here at bottom —…
NASA’s Cassini Spacecraft captures a close-up view of the Keeler Gap. Before Cassini entered its Grand Finale orbits, it acquired unprecedented views of the outer…
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…
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…
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…
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…
