Astronomers have discovered that super-Earths orbit not only close to their stars, but also at great distances, expanding our expectations about habitable worlds beyond the solar system.
New observations allow us to visualize for the first time a phenomenon that may explain why the Sun's outer atmosphere is millions of degrees hotter than its surface.
A magnetic field at the south pole of Mars has puzzled scientists. A new model with a liquid core and thermal differences offers the most convincing explanation to date.
NASA is transforming the way we explore the universe. You can now see and even 3D print stars, supernova remnants, and galaxies, thanks to models created with real data from space observatories.
The Lyrid meteor shower has begun! Central Mexico reported a fireball impact at 3:40 a.m. on 16 April, leaving a bright trail of light.
For the first time, they detected a huge wave of solar wind that crushed Jupiter's protective bubble, raising its temperature by 350 to 500°C.
Why does Rolls-Royce want to send a nuclear reactor to the Moon? They are not the only ones. Bangor and Oxford experts are helping Rolls-Royce in this dream.
NASA's Roman mission will use Type Ia supernovae to measure cosmic distances, helping us understand and answer questions about how the universe has expanded over time.
A study suggests that the moon Titan could harbor glycine-fermenting microbial life in its subsurface ocean, albeit in extremely small quantities.
The Moon, our natural satellite, is one of the best-known celestial bodies in the solar system. Yet, since the dawn of time, we have only seen one side of it. How can this be explained?
Comet SWAN25F is rapidly approaching the Sun, developing a tail that could make it bright enough to be visible to the naked eye. Already visible before dawn with binoculars, it will be more easily visible in the evening after Easter.
