Two astronomers have found evidence that the radius of our Sun is a few hundredths of a percent slimmer than previous analyses indicated.

Connectomics, the ambitious field of study that seeks to map the intricate network of animal brains, is undergoing a growth spurt. Within the span of a decade, it has journeyed from its nascent stages to a discipline that is poised to (hopefully) unl

Recently NASA announced earlier this month that the 12 kW Advanced Electric Propulsion System (AEPS) – which is scheduled to form an integral part of the Lunar Gateway when it is launched &#8…

A massive filament of gas and dust, designated X7, has been elongated during its long approach to the Milky Way galaxy's supermassive black hole Sagittarius A*. See W.M. Keck Observatory imagery of X7 and an animation of its closest approach to the black hole…

The warming oceans worldwide are leading to the rapid melting of ice and glaciers long thought to be stable. A new study co-authored by SJSU Assistant Profes...

The aim of this study is to analyze the Earth habitability with respect to the direct exposition of the Earth atmosphere to the solar wind

The number of spacecraft launches is doubling every two years, creating logistical challenges.

Certain animal species, such as the ornate boxfish, have detailed markings. How do these intricate patterns materialize? A team of engineers may have an answer.

The JWST found water vapor in planet-forming disks, supporting a longstanding theory about how worlds form.

The newly discovered planets might help to solve a stubborn cosmic puzzle.

Firefly Aerospace's upcoming visit to the Moon's far side will now include SPIDER—a device for probing the lunar subsurface.

Rocket Lab's launch business saw $21.3 million in revenue in the third quarter, with a mid-September mission failure halting the company's momentum.

Whether talking about the office kitchen, hiking trails or ratings on Yelp, there are always people who put in effort to leave those spaces better. There are also those who contribute nothing to that public good.

In between Starlink launches, SpaceX installed its brand new Crew Access Arm on the recently built Crew Launch Tower at Space Launch Complex 40.

Astronomers presented the intriguing possibility that Betelgeuse did not start off as a single star but is instead the product of a "quiet merger."

New study on mice decision-making reveals that choice is not a singular moment but a reflection of the brain's preexisting state.

Landing safely on an asteroid is no mean feat. Despite several recent successes, there have also been notable failures—most famously, the Philae lander to 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. Admittedly, that was an attempt to land on a comet rather than an asteroid, b…

A new scientific technique could significantly improve the reference frames that millions of people rely upon each day when using GPS navigation services, according to a recently published article in Radio Science.

Photos of a little-known phenomenon called a SAR arc show a red glow over parts of California during Sunday night’s geomagnetic storm.

Albert Einstein, best known for his work in relativity, won the Nobel Prize for his formula for the photoelectric effect, which often surprises modern physicists. He's not the only physicist whose Nobel award misaligns with the winner's modern claim-to-fame.

NEW YORK, Nov 8: Commercial companies are increasingly becoming involved in transporting astronauts to the International Space Station (ISS), as well as other activities in orbit. Some, such as Houston-based Axiom Space, eventually want to build their own spa…

Astronomers using the Gemini North telescope, one-half of the International Gemini Observatory operated by NSF's NOIRLab, have captured the eroding remains of more than 100 dwarf galaxies as they transition into ultra-compact dwarf galaxies, objects with mass…

It had looked like it may have a close encounter with the Solar System but it may not even be coming our way at all.
