Before going to the moon, the Apollo astronauts trained at various sites on Earth that best approximated the lunar surface, such as the volcanic regions Iceland, Hawaii and the U.S. Southwest. To help prepare for upcoming robotic and human Artemis missions, a…

In a recent study published in the journal Icarus, a team of researchers at the International Research School of Planetary Science (IRSPS) located at the D'Annunzio University of Chieti-Pescara in Italy conducted a geological analysis of a region on Neptune's…

The cosmic zoo contains objects so bizarre and extreme that they generate gravitational waves. Scorpius X-1 is part of that strange collection. It's actually a binary pair: a neutron star orbiting with a low-mass stellar companion called V818 Scorpii. The pai…

The newly developed method links quantum and classical worlds and may enhance measurements for quantum computers and other applications. Our vision is made possible by the specialized cells in our retina that absorb light. But, can one see without any absorpt…

The asteroid threat is worse than we thought. Rubble-pile asteroids are hard to destroy and there are more of them according to new research.

About 780 million light-years away, at least three galaxy clusters are merging to form a giant galaxy cluster named Abell 2256.

"To hear the turns of phrase and how things were discussed … it feels like peeking through time."

SpaceXs Falcon 9 rocket, which is carrying 49 Starlink spacecraft and a rideshare payload from an Italy-based company D-Orbit, lifted off from California's Vandenberg Space Force Base on Tuesday.

NASA and the Canadian Space Agency suspect that a cosmic ray strike is to blame for an anomaly on the James Webb Space Telescope.

We present a systematic analysis of a large number of mass spectra accumulated as the number of ion fragments recorded in unit mass-to-charge detector channels.

After experiencing a timeout during operations on January 15, NIRISS observations were paused to conduct a number of tests.

Propyl cyanide (PrCN) (C3H7CN) with both linear and branched isomers is ubiquitous in interstellar space and is important for astrochemistry as it is one of the most complex molecules found to date in the interstellar medium. Furthermore, it is the only one o…

The famed telescope resumed full science operations on Monday (Jan. 30).

There’s a lot of junk orbiting our planet, from tiny flecks of paint to defunct rocket stages. While solutions to...

There’s a lot of junk orbiting our planet, from tiny flecks of paint to defunct rocket stages. While solutions to remove pre-existing debris have been...

The Drag Augmentation Deorbiting System is a 38-square-foot sail that's designed to deorbit satellites at the end of their lives—and it appears to work.

Caltech researchers model the evolution of a complex bacterial structure in the laboratory.

A gargantuan effort by a huge international team of scientists has just given us the most precise map of the all matter in the Universe obtained to date.

Sometimes to know what the matter is, you have to find it first.

A new hybrid catalyst has been developed by Ames Laboratory and partners that converts carbon dioxide into ethylene in one pot with high efficiency, supporting the net-zero carbon initiative

Since Darwin, biologists have been fascinated by the evolution of sociality. In its most extreme form, eusocial species exhibit a division of labor in which certain individuals perform reproductive tasks such as egg laying, while others play non-reproductive …

A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket has launched 49 Starlink satellites and D-Orbit's ION SCV009 Eclectic Elena from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California (Jan. 31)

Scientific Reports - The microstructure and mechanical properties of microwave-heated lunar simulants at different input powers under vacuum

Mr Wang utilised a technique known as "adaptive optics" to create the clip and removed visual blurring brought on by the Earth's atmosphere. I

Shining light on a water droplet creates effects analogous to what happens in an atom. This can help us understand how atoms work, write researchers.
