Astronomers have measured Jupiter's Stratospheric Winds for the First Time.
A new sky survey has managed to identify around 25,000 radio sources -- mainly supermassive black holes.
Not being tectonically active has its drawbacks.
If you like volcanoes, Earth isn’t a bad place to live on. After all, our planet is quite geologically active, and that also translates into a respectable level of volcanism. But when it comes to having a variety of flavors, the Earth can be a bit lacking. A new paper, however, comes to estimate what […]
Space: the final petri dish.
It's almost ready for launch!
Milkomeda is really happening -- #couplegoals.
It's similar to how these clouds form on Earth only on a massive scale.
Using the Hubble Space Telescope astronomers have spotted GJ 1132 b, an extraordinary exoplanet where volcanic activity 'grew' an atmosphere.
A backup plan in case we screw up this planet for good.
It's so ancient it could help us understand the building blocks of planets.
Its source is a radio loud quasar blasting out jets when the universe was still in its infancy.
The trek is a few dozen kilometers long.
This unique type of space weather could have important consequences for GPS systems.
A newly discovered transiting exoplanet close to the solar system could be a prime target for atmospheric investigations, including the search for signs of life.
Maybe it was jumping for joy?
Warp drives aren't such a crazy idea after all.
One Falcon 9 rocket that was shuttling Starlink satellites into orbit for SpaceX has encountered problems before launch on Sunday night. The launch was aborted just 90 seconds away from taking off. The veteran rocket was scheduled to take 60 new Starlink satellites to orbit, helping the company establish its fleet of internet-providing orbiters. Still, […]
We don't know what split them up, but one is crashing while the other is slowly inching away.
This amazing concept might lay the groundwork for the spaceports we've all be drooling over.
Human visitors to Mars could bring along numerous microscopic colonizers. That's both good and bad.
With a mass of 21 times that of the sun, the black hole of Cygnus X-1 challenges theories of stellar evolution.
Don't miss one of the most spectacular space missions this year.
This could have big implications for our future plans for Mars.
Astronomers have proposed a novel theory that explains the demise of the dinosaurs.
It may have been formed by a meteor impact.
I am not making any of this up.
It's one of three different missions scheduled to arrive at Mars this month.
LAGER-z7OD1 is possibly one of the clusters that marked the end of the Dark Ages of the Universe.
I hear travelling to faraway places is a perk of the job.
When both aliens and humans are looking for each other, the chances are we'll make contact.
This could help answer some of the biggest questions of the universe
The Amazon founder has huge plans for space exploration. Now he actually has the time and money to make them happen.
The flight will be done this year, funded by an entrepreneur
This may be a game changer in astronomy.
This mineral hints at Mars' icy past.
Who doesn't get tilted every now and then, eh?
Life on Venus is as unlikely as ever.
Helicopter to Mars, submarine to Titan, what’s next? A subway on Venus?
These are the first people to take a vacation outside of Earth.
Talk about an exciting change.
The rhythmic movement of five of the six exoplanets around the star TOI-178 could challenge theories of planetary evolution.
We don’t know exactly how deep because our radar couldn't pierce through all of it.
The Trappist-1 exoplanets are comprised of similar materials to Earth but their lower density could indicate radically different worlds.
We'll know in February whether it's delicious or awful.
This year is set to be an important one for astronomy, cosmology and physics as researchers across these fields seek to investigate deeper into the Universe and the physics that governs it than ever before.
The closest one should pass around the same distance the Moon orbits at.
Nobody was hurt and nothing blew up so, altogether, not that bad!
The giant black hole formed just 670 million years after the Big Bang.
Astronomers have discovered a galaxy that is ejecting a massive amout of gas. The outburst could represent the end of star formation in ID2299 and its figurative death.
