The most volcanic body in the solar system, Io produces outbursts every year with one the largest occurring in Fall 2022.

This month will see a once-in-a-civilization sight: a green comet named C/2022 E3 (ZTF) approaching Earth. The comet last passed through our solar system a little more than 50,000 years ago, according to NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory.

The first full moon of 2023 is just around the corner. Here's everything you need to know to catch January's Wolf Moon.

Perseverance has stashed four out of 10 planned samples at the Three Forks sample depot on Mars.

Join us as we look back at some of the most exciting, inspiring, and biggest science stories that made headlines in 2022.

A groundbreaking new mass spectrometer designed and built by Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) has been delivered for integration onto NASA's Europa Clipper spacecraft. Scheduled to launch in 2024 and arrive in the Jovian system by 2030, Europa Clipper will…

We finally have Danuri's first moon images, beamed back to Earth from South Korea's lunar orbiter which launched last year.

The January “wolf” moon will reach its fullest phase this weekend. 🌕🌃 Will you be watching for the first full moon of 2023? https://l.nj.com/PP5YXZ(Video P...

Black holes form natural time machines that allow travel to both the past and the future. But don't expect to be visiting dinosaurs any time soon.

In a warming world, coal can often seem the "bad guy." But we can do other things with coal besides burn it. A team at Ohio University used the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center's Bridges-2 system to carry out a series of simulations showing how coal might eve…

Driving is about to become a bit more convenient for Android owners.

The field still faces one major roadblock.

A new solar sail belonging to French aerospace startup Gama reached space on Tuesday and is expected to deploy its wings in the coming weeks.

A new spacecraft could soon be soaring through Earth’s orbit while gently being pushed by photons emitted from the Sun....

A discovery of so-called barred galaxies early in the universe will require astrophysicists to refine their theories of galaxy evolution.

Scientists have discovered a gene-transfer mechanism in Prochlorococcus, the world’s most abundant photosynthetic organism, that may be key to its abundance and diversity. They have dubbed the agents that carry out this transfer “tycheposons.”

Astronomers recently detected a massive explosion on the far side of the sun, which likely spat out one of the most powerful flares the sun can produce.

Palaeontologists discovered the body print fossil, named Cratonavis zhui, during excavations in northern China, a region where prints of feathered dinosaurs and early birds have also been unearthed.

INDIA: Black holes were first conceptualised in the 1700s as objects so huge that nothing could evade their gravitational pull. But Einstein’s ground-breaking theory of gravity, which was finished in 1917, is where the contemporary tale of black holes really …

New images from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) reveal for the first time galaxies with stellar bars—elongated features of stars stretching from the centers of galaxies into their outer disks—at a time when the universe was a mere 25% of its present …

The collection of RNAs in a cell reflects its identity and behavior. Although probing these RNAs in the present is commonplace, peering into the past remains challenging. We developed TIGER (transcribed RNAs inferred by genetically encoded records) to record …

A new infrared image shows a multitude of stars hidden behind the faint orange glow of the Sh2-54 nebula.
