An old Soviet-era rocket body almost collided with an errant military satellite, narrowly avoiding a huge disaster, according to tracking company LeoLabs.

Physicists have shown how fluid flows influence the formation of complex patterns.

An international research team has developed a new method for the efficient coupling of terahertz waves with much shorter wavelengths, so-called spin waves. Their experiments, in combination with theoretical models, clarify the fundamental mechanisms of this …

NASA’s Perseverance has dropped the last of 10 sample tubes onto the surface of Mars as a backup cache, which scientists hope can later be collected and delivered to Earth for testing.

The journey on Jan. 27 brought the drone out and back again with 600 feet (183 meters) of flight distance.

Gamma-ray bursts are the brightest explosions in the cosmos, emitting intense gamma rays for brief periods of time. These bursts are categorized as either short or long, with long gamma-ray bursts being produced by the death of massive stars. Hence why they p…

This video highlights the field of stars and galaxies surrounding the spiral galaxy LEDA 2046648. Webb’s NIRCam instrument has picked out a profusion of smal...

New research is suggesting that the rotation of Earth's inner core may have paused and it could even go into reverse. Every 7 decades the inner core slows do...

A recently discovered comet will soon swing by Earth for the first time in 50,000 years. The green comet will make its closest approach between February 1 and 2.

When a scientist discovered surprising evidence that Saturn's smallest, innermost moon could generate the right amount of heat to support a liquid internal ocean, colleagues began studying Mimas' surface to understand how its interior may have evolved. Numeri…

When a Southwest Research Institute scientist discovered surprising evidence that Saturn's smallest, innermost moon could generate the right amount of heat to support a liquid internal ocean, colleagues began studying Mimas' surface to understand how its inte…

Green-hued comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF) is visible with binoculars, telescopes – and in some areas, the naked eye.

US startup AstroForge aims to launch its first mission to mine asteroids for metals later in 2023 via a partnership with UK-based Orbital Astronautics...

NASA's Perseverance rover collected samples that will eventually return to Earth, but it's also depositing tubes around the Red Planet for safekeeping in case that return mission goes awry.

The star HR8799 and its four worlds became the first system of its kind ever to be directly seen when it was observed in 2008. Northwestern University astronomer Jason Wang has been watching since.

Native speakers often dominate the discussion in multilingual online meetings, but adding an automated participant that periodically interrupts the conversation can help nonnative speakers get a word in edgewise, according to new research at Cornell.

The tiny sun used sound waves to simulate the sun's swirling mass of plasma

The tipping of one element of the Earth’s system has been speculated to catalyze the tipping of others in a cascade. A study provides an example of an alternative option in which the breakdown of one component may reduce the likelihood of another system tippi…

The Ingenuity helicopter took the Martian skies once again on Jan. 27, 2023. See the first images obtained by NASA of the flight along with statistics. Credi...

The Coloumb drag is a phenomenon that affects two electronic circuits, whereby a charge current in one circuit induces a responsive current in a neighboring circuit solely through so-called Coloumb interactions. These are electrostatic interactions between el…

For starters, it's not smoke billowing from a volcanic eruption.

NASA’s Mars reconnaissance orbiter camera captured an unusual formation that looked like the shape of a bear’s face.

An international team of astronomers reports the detection of a new protocluster of galaxies. The newfound protocluster, designated QO-1000, contains at least 14 massive quiescent galaxies. The finding was detailed in a paper published January 21 on the arXiv…
