MIT team designed an environmentally friendly city for the red planet that mimics a forest, with solar-powered dome tree habitats connected with roots, or tunnels.
ALMA has revealed signs of eleven low-mass stars forming perilously close — within three light-years — to the Milky Way’s supermassive black hole, known to astronomers as Sagittarius A*.
According to a recent study, space dust could be what brought life molecules to Earth. This same mechanism could be responsible for the distribution of life throughout the Universe.
Scientists know of 750,000 or so asteroids and comets—and all of them are part of this fine solar system. That is, all of them but one. And as new research shows, it is weird.
A team working with HARPS in Chile has found that the red dwarf star Ross 128 is orbited by a low-mass exoplanet every 9.9 days. The exoplanet is expected to be with a surface temperature close to that of Earth.
Astronomers think that Earth is showered by 'anti-electrons' because of pulsars, but there are more of these particles coming at us than there should be.
Astronomer from Puerto Rico has put together a Periodic Table of Exoplanets, where each of the 3,700 confirmed exoplanets is slotted into its own discrete category—including planets that could harbor life.
Twice as big as Earth, the super-Earth 55 Cancri e was thought to have lava flows on its surface. Now, a new analysis finds this planet likely has an atmosphere whose ingredients could be similar to those of Earth.
It’s called the Dream Chaser, a reusable spaceplane that will one day transport cargo and crews to the International Space Station.
An international team of researchers have found an infrequent variation in the brightness of a forming star. Its repeated behavior suggests the presence of a hidden planet.
NASA, with an eye to future missions, is looking to create robotic missions and components that can survive inside Venus’ atmosphere for prolonged periods of time.
Astronomers have made a bizarre discovery; a star that refuses to stop shining.
We've never actually found any genuine proof for the existence of a multiverse - until now.
The ALMA Observatory in Chile has detected dust around the closest star to the Solar System, Proxima Centauri. The data may indicate the presence of an elaborate planetary system.
Astronomers report that they have detected the second most distant dusty, star-forming galaxy ever found in the universe -- born in the first one billion years after the Big Bang. It is the oldest object ever detected by the LMT.
