NASA has launched a fleet of missions to study the planets in our solar system -- many of which have sent back crucial information about magnetospheres.
Scientists have detected a powerful X-ray aurora hotspot near Jupiter's south pole and it does not behave how they expected.
Using data from the SuperWASP survey, an international team of astronomers has identified two new "hot Saturns" and one "Super-Neptune".
The object zoomed into our solar system from an extreme angle above the path in which most planets and asteroids orbit the sun.
A Canadian-led international team of astronomers recently discovered that spots on the surface of a supergiant star are driving huge spiral structures in its stellar wind.
Physicists have a new scenario of the universe's expansion at the Big Bang that may explain why our universe has three large spatial dimensions.
According to a new analysis, the number of undiscovered and potentially-hazardous asteroids is lower than previously thought.
For the first time, gravitational waves have been detected coming from the violent collision of two neutron star potentially solving the mystery of where heavy elements like gold come from as well as producing a visible afterglow detected by over 70 telescopes around the world.
