The sun has emitted a strong solar flare that peaked at 10:33 p.m. ET on March 28, 2023. NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory, which watches the sun constantly, captured an image of the event.

Scientists often look to the past for clues about how Earth's landscapes might shift under a changing climate, and for insight into the migrations of human communities through time. A new study offers both by providing, for the first time, a reconstruction of…

Galaxy collisions are transformative events, largely responsible for driving the evolution of the universe. The mixing and mingling of stellar material is an incredibly dynamic process that can lead to the formation of molecular clouds populated with newly fo…

On Earth, wind can transport particles of dust and debris across the planet, with sand from the Sahara ending up in the Caribbean or volcanic ash from Iceland being deposited in Greenland. Wind can also have a big impact on the ecology and environment of a ga…

NASA has awarded a contract to the University of Colorado-Boulder, for the management and operations of the Snow and Ice Distributed Active Archive Center,

ALMA has detected the "shadow" of a galaxy cluster being born.

The sun has developed a massive “hole” 20 times larger than Earth, marking the second such occurrence in a week.

The observation of how cellular processes in yeast are affected by microgravity could eventually help astronauts on long-term space missions.

Ancient 2-meter-long amphibians swam like crocodiles long before true crocodiles existed, according to a study published March 29, 2023, in the open-access journal PLOS ONE by David P. Groenewald of the University of the Witwatersrand, South Africa and collea…

Intrigued by reports of recent volcanic eruptions on Venus? WashU planetary scientists Paul Byrne and Rebecca Hahn want you to use their new map of 85,000 volcanoes on Venus to help locate the next active lava flow. Their study was posted online ahead of prin…

A team of SDSU students is one of 15 finalist groups working to build prototype rovers meant to extract ice from the moon for NASA's Break the Ice Lunar Chal...

Strawberries might seem like clean eating, but the average ripened specimen could harbor a bug bonanza.

One astronomer dubbed the high-intensity beam of radiation the BOAT: the Brightest of All Time.

Researchers have determined the cause of an unusual behavior in funnel weaving spiders that involves the females curling up as if they're dead before having sex.

Artemis II will test and stress the life-support systems of Orion to prove the capabilities and techniques required to live and work in deep space in ways only humans can do.

Don’t worry if you missed the peak evening to view the spectacular line-up of planets. Here’s how to see them for the rest of the week.

New research on the melting of the Greenland Ice Sheet identifies tipping points defined by cumulative carbon emissions in the atmosphere.

Like electronics or photonics, magnonics is an engineering subfield that aims to advance information technologies when it comes to speed, device architecture, and energy consumption. A magnon corresponds to the specific amount of energy required to change the…

The James Webb space telescope is the most impressive space telescope that humanity has created so far. But, to be able to capture the telescope’s … The post...

Using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), of which ESO is a partner, astronomers have discovered a large reservoir of hot gas in the still-forming galaxy cluster around the Spiderweb galaxy—the most distant detection of such hot gas yet. …

Hydrogen has a scale pattern; zinc "sounds like an angelic vocalist singing with vibrato."

Tracking the formation of cubic ice (ice Ic) using transmission electron microscopy and low-dose imaging shows preferential nucleation of ice Ic at low-temperature interfaces and two types of stacking disorder.

Few things carry the same aura of mystery as dark matter. The name itself radiates secrecy, suggesting something hidden in the shadows of the universe.
