In the vast expanse of our solar system, each planet boasts its own unique set of characteristics, but none are quite as intriguing as Venus. Often referred to as Earth's "sister planet," Venus is a place of extremes, where a single day is equivalent to a sta…

NASA's LRO finds new crater on the Moon likely formed by crash of Russian lander, Luna-25.

There are eight planets in our solar system – plus poor old Pluto, which was demoted in 2006 – but what if there were more?Turns out that might be the case. Astronomers have calculated there is a 7 per cent chance that Earth has another neighbour hiding in th…

In 2021, researchers stumbled upon the presence of hydrogen in the region while conducting soil-gas measurements.

Physicists finally know where at least some of these high-energy particles come from, which helps make the neutrinos useful for exploring fundamental physics.

Here are seven astonishing lunar revelations from the past decade that transformed our understanding of the moon and its enigmatic nature. Uncover the moon's hidden stories -- water, shrinking, tail, metal, origin, quakes, and cosmic companions.

NASA’s first asteroid sample will come blasting down to Earth, no matter what the forecast looks like, but the OSIRIS-REx team will work closely with U.S. Army meteorologists in Utah to plan for all weather scenarios, ensuring the prized sample is collected w…

Dr. Susana Iglesias-Groth from The Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) has used Spitzer space observatory data to uncover signs of the amino acid tryptophan in the interstellar material in a nearby star-forming region. The research was recently publish…

New Delhi, September 10 (IANS) Astrophysicists have hinted at the existence of several black holes in the Hyades cluster -- the closest open cluster to our solar system -- which would make them the closest black holes to Earth ever detected.

Mayflies are famous for cramming an entire life into a single day, but that's not strictly true.

NASA recently shared an image of the Pinwheel Galaxy which is about 70 percent larger than the Milky Way galaxy at a diameter of about 170,000 light-years.

China’s ‘father of quantum’ Pan Jianwei and his team have been studying optical-lattice-based ultracold atomic systems since 2010.

Solar storm likely to hit Earth as Sunfires M2 flare The Sun has been in a vile mood and has spewed out immense amounts of energy out into space. This energy is set to generate a solar storm that astronomers have warned about. When this solar storm hits the E…

The properties of hafnium dioxide, often referred to as hafina, might seem unremarkable on the surface. However, when this material is rendered into ultrathin layers, it exhibits fascinating characteristics: the layers can be used as non-volatile computer mem…

Conceptually, all electrical and chemical impulses in a cluster of neurons form different arrays, sets or loops, in the hippocampus and cerebral cortex.

Last year, NASA crashed a satellite into Dimorphos, an asteroid millions of miles away from us, in order to change its course. Almost a year after the crash, astronomers are observing some very weird behaviour, that could have massive repercussions
