ESO astronomers have released an absolutely beautiful image snapped by the VLT Survey Telescope (VST) of the Sh2-284 nebula.

Is NASA mining asteroids? No, we’re not in the business of mining asteroids but we do love to study them. This year, our #PsycheMission launches to a unique ...

Scientists have worked out the consistency of the magma under the Yellowstone caldera using seismic waves — and the reservoir is filled with "mush" that doesn't pose an imminent eruption threat.

Helium is the simplest element in the periodic table with more than one particle in its nucleus, yet state of the art theory and experiments on it don't add ...

NASA just locked four non-astronaut volunteers in a simulated Mars habitat, marking the beginning of the much-anticipated CHAPEA missions.

A talkative yellow-headed parrot calmly sat on his human's shoulder in the car as they rode through an automatic car wash.

The enormous eruption generated hundreds of times more power than an atomic bomb—and the most extreme lightning ever recorded. How did it happen?

Raúl Nava of the MBARI explained how the glass squid employs an invisible color-changing cloak to hide in plain sight.

Squash bugs, a common and difficult-to-control agricultural pest, need healthy bacteria in their gut to grow and stay alive. However, they do not acquire any bacteria from their parents when they are first born, leaving them vulnerable until their microbiome …

The giant planet 8 Ursae Minoris b seems to have avoided engulfment by its giant host star through a stellar merger that either affected the evolution of the host star or produced 8 Ursae Minoris b as a second-generation planet.

Earth's oceans are a complex system, and their interconnected nature has global implications. Around Antarctica, cold and dense waters form in the depths of the Southern Ocean. This is known as Antarctic Bottom Water (AABW). It comprises most of the deepest a…

NASA’s first two-way laser relay system completed its first year of experiments on June 28 – a milestone for a game-changing technology that could be the future for sending and receiving data from space. Now at the halfway point in its experimentation phase, …

In-depth research of the fossil record has shown a Cretaceous origin for placental mammals, which include humans, dogs, and bats, indicating they co-existed with dinosaurs for a short period before the dinosaurs became extinct.

Prime eclipse viewing spots are already selling out.

A new study suggests that the expansion of the universe may be an illusion — and that effect could offer clues about dark matter.

Scientists confirm crucial characteristic of new material which could open way to functional quantum computers

When octopuses sleep, strange patterns sometimes flicker across their skin. Now, neuroscientists have been able to peer into the brain of a sleeping octopus ...

James Drake from the University of Maryland joins Planetary Radio to talk about the latest results from NASA's Parker Solar Probe as it soars closer to our star than any spacecraft in history.

A spin-triplet pair density wave is discovered in the candidate topological superconductor UTe2 using superconductive scanning tunnelling microscopy tips.

An asteroid labelled as potentially hazardous and about the same size as the London Eye is expected to come close to Earth on Wednesday.#asteriods #asteriods...

This week four volunteers moved into Mars Dune Alpha, NASA's 3D-printed habitat designed by BIG. Created for NASA's CHAPEA (Crew Health and Performance Exploration Analog) program, the 1,700-square-foot structure is what NASA envisions being able to print on …
