A group of astronomers has discovered an object that sends out X-ray and radio signals exactly every 44 minutes, a discovery that has been published in the journal Nature.
Scientists have discovered highly magnetic rocks on the Moon whose origin is still unknown, but a team of MIT researchers has likely solved this mystery.
The latest observational data from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) provide a spectacular glimpse into the origins of the universe. Thus, the first structures may have emerged much earlier than previously thought.
Researchers are warning about asteroids orbiting Venus, invisible to our telescopes, with recent simulations suggesting they could pose a real threat to Earth in the near future.
The Sun won't be like this forever. We tell you what a NASA scientist has to say about how and when our star will change and/or go dark, as well as its effects on the solar system.
The dust nebula observed by the European Southern Observatory, with its spirals and red color, is curiously reminiscent of the giant serpent that represented the ancient Egyptian deity Apep.
Supernovae send astronomical amounts of energy into space. If this energy were to reach Earth, the consequences could be disastrous. According to Spanish researchers, this event could have already occurred in the very distant past.
The Artemis II mission, scheduled for April 2026, will be the first crewed mission to orbit the Moon since 1972, marking a milestone in space exploration and international cooperation.
Thanks to a new camera installed on a solar telescope in Tenerife, scientists have captured images of the Sun with such precise resolution that they can observe details on its surface equivalent to a scale of just 100 kilometres.
The intense UV radiation on Mars poses significant challenges for the survival of life. However, studies have shown that some microorganisms can survive prolonged exposure to UV-C radiation.More information: Could We Drink Water On Mars?
