Today’s NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day is planetary nebula M27, also known as the Dumbbell Nebula, which is located about 1360 light-years away towards the constellation of Vulpecula.

The secret to harvesting energy in this unconventional way lies in being able to pepper any material with nanopores less than 100 nanometers in diameter — approximately a 1000th of the width of a human hair.

The volcano erupts mud, fluids and gas from the planets interior.

Remarkably, the event took place just 137 million light years away from Earth, making it the closest-known example of a tidal disruption event (TDE).

The concept of ‘relativistic mass’ has been around almost as long as relativity has. But is it a reasonable way to make sense of things?

Researchers at Imperial College London have created these superheated rings of plasma that mimic the shining accretion rings rotating around black holes at incredible speeds.

In 1989, a solar storm struck the Earth that was so powerful that it caused a 9-hour-long power outage and sparked a massive radio blackout. Know all about it.

A new study has shown that humans may have evolved a spring-like arch to help us walk on two feet. Researchers studying the evolution of bipedal walking have long assumed that the raised arch of the foot helps us walk by acting as a lever which propels the bo…

Abstract. Episodic accretion is a low-mass pre-main sequence phenomenon characterized by sudden outbursts of enhanced accretion. These objects are classified in

Abstract. We present two- and three-dimensional hydrodynamic simulations of ∼kpc-scale AGN jets with mean jet powers in the range 1 − 7 × 1045 erg s−1, in which

Abstract. The presence of aerosols in an exoplanet atmosphere can veil the underlying material and can lead to a flat transmission spectrum during primary trans

Abstract. A combination of two unsupervised machine learning algorithms, DBSCAN and GMM are used to find members with a high probability of twelve open clusters

Ingenuity's still setting records, but waking it up and chatting are getting harder

LIGO, a state-of-the-art gravitational wave detector, is finally up and operational again after a three year hiatus.

We could definitely use a new way to make electricity, and now one group of scientists think they've found a game-changer!

Telescopes often come with hefty price tags.

The HAKUTO-R Mission 1 lunar lander, launched by ispace in December 2022, failed to land safely on the Moon. In April 2023, NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter detected unusual surface changes and debris near the intended landing site, suggesting potential re…

The discovery of the extraordinarily intricate wreck of a 2,000-year-old computer has left scientists puzzled.Discovered from inside a Greek shipwreck in 1901, the Antikythera mechanism, an...

Nicole Carpenter, reporting for Polygon: There's a bridge to cross the lava pit in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom's Marakuguc Shrine, but it's broken. More than half of the bridge is piled on top of itself on one side of the pit, with one clipped-o…

New NASA images of two galaxies, a star cluster, and a nebula use X-ray technology to enhance glimpses of the universe light-years away.

Asteroid mining is slowly but surely coming closer to reality. Many start-ups and governmental agencies alike are getting in on the action. But plenty of tools that would help get this burgeoning industry off the ground are still unavailable. One that would b…

Scientists are unleashing the power of neutrons to improve understanding of everyday materials and tackle fundamental questions in physics. By MICHAEL ALLEN Apart from flashbacks that the hit Netflix series Breaking Bad may have conjured up, most of us have l…
