A new study details dissociative recombination, which may have led to Venus losing its water.
Motorcyclists have long ridden on an apparatus called the “wall of death,” which involves driving in circles parallel to the ground. Scientists are theorizing that something similar could be used for astronauts to exercise on the Moon.
Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), a team of astronomers, including scientists from MPIA, constructed a global temperature map of the hot, gas giant exoplanet WASP-43b.
The mystery of life’s origins on Earth has long puzzled scientists, but a recent discovery on Mars might be shedding new light on this profound question, while also inching closer to finding life on Mars.
Focused on the part of the sky where you can spot the constellation Orion on clear nights, the James Webb Space Telescope’s latest dispatch blinks in astonishing images from an area known as the Orion B molecular cloud.
A small team of planetary scientists from U.S. reports possible new evidence of Planet 9.
Rocks that formed some 3.7 billion years ago in the early Archean have given us the earliest glimpse yet of Earth's magnetic field.
Solar sails are an enigmatic and majestic way to travel across the gulf of space.
These so called "spiders" are the result of a complex geological process that causes carbon dioxide to sublimate, digging up darker material from below the surface during the planet's spring.
The most distant spacecraft from Earth stopped sending back understandable data last November. NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory declared success after receiving good engineering updates late last week.
Imagery from the solar-powered spacecraft provides close-ups of intriguing features on the hellish Jovian moon.
Exoplanet TOI-6713.01 experiences 10 million times more tidal energy than Io, resulting in a 2,300 degrees Celsius surface temperature. This means the planet literally glows at optical wavelengths.
469219 Kamo’oalewa as a near-Earth asteroid and a quasi-satellite to Earth. However, in 2021, astronomers using spectroscopy revealed that Kamo’oalewa might in fact be a piece of the moon.
Purple bacteria is one of the primary contenders for life that could dominate a variety of Earth-like planets orbiting different stars, and would produce a distinctive "light fingerprint," Cornell scientists report.
Not only does God play dice, that great big casino of quantum physics could have far more rooms than we ever imagined. An infinite number more, in fact.
