On Sept. 7, 2023, during its 54th close flyby of Jupiter, NASA’s Juno mission captured this view of an area in the giant planet’s far northern regions called

Researchers at The University of Texas at Austin have successfully isolated a pattern of lab-made "foreshock" tremors. The finding offers hope that future earthquakes could be forecast by the swarm of smaller tremors that come before them.

The swirling arms of a spiral galaxy are among the most recognized features in the cosmos: long sweeping bands spun off from a central core, each brimming with dust, gas, and dazzling pockets of newly formed stars. Yet this opulent figure can warp into a much…

Analysis shows DNA proof of a regionally derived strain of cutaneous leishmaniasis. Amid rising concerns, there's potential for local sand flies to contract a lethal variant of the disease through imported dogs. Researchers from the U.S. Centers for Disease C…

For over a billion years, life evolved on a planet without fire.

Modern physics can explain everything from the spin of the tiniest particle to the behavior of entire galaxy clusters. But it can't explain life. There's simply no formula to explain the difference between a living lump of matter and a dead one. Life seems to…

The comet has a solid nucleus about 18.6 miles wide and is filled with a mix of ice, dust and gas known as cryomagma. Scientists say the comet is roughly three times the size of Mount Everest.
