The creation of any heavier elements would consume energy instead of releasing it. In order to explain the presence of these heavier elements today, it's necessary to find phenomena that can produce them.
Using the SHARK-VIS instrument on the Large Binocular Telescope on Mount Graham in Arizona, the United States, astronomers have captured the highest resolution optical images of Io ever obtained from a ground-based telescope.
China launched a probe to collect samples from the far side of the moon, a world first as Beijing pushes ahead with an ambitious program that aims to send a crewed lunar mission by 2030.
New research demonstrated a possible formation mechanism of intermediate-mass black holes in globular clusters, star clusters that could contain tens of thousands or even millions of tightly packed stars.
A NASA catalog featuring 126 exotic, newly discovered worlds includes detailed measurements that allow for comparisons with our own solar system.
Mars has a distinct structure in its mantle and crust with discernible reservoirs, and this is known thanks to meteorites that scientists have analyzed.
The two earliest and most distant galaxies yet confirmed, dating back to only 300 million years after the Big Bang, have been discovered using NASA's James Webb Space Telescope.
NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) has discovered another intriguing formation on the planet's barren surface. Despite their best efforts, scientists can only guess as to how exactly holes like this one were formed.
One of the most peculiar things about Uranus and Neptune is their magnetic fields.

The researchers say that these black holes mergers are a window into Hawking Radiation. When black holes merge, they may create so-called "morsel" black holes the size of asteroids that are ejected into space.
A new analysis of data collected on Venus more than 30 years ago suggests the planet may currently be volcanically active.
It turns out that certain black holes act just like the terrifying sci-fi battle station, spinning around to fire giant beams at various targets in the cosmos.
Using the James Webb Space Telescope, researchers observed the birth of some of the youngest galaxies ever witnessed.
Astronomers discover the biggest planet-forming disk ever and it resembles a butterfly.
