China's Zhurong rover, equipped with a ground-penetrating radar system, identified irregular polygonal wedges located at a depth of about 35 meters all along the robot's journey.
Six planets orbit their central star in a rhythmic beat, a rare case of an “in sync” gravitational lockstep that could offer deep insight into planet formation and evolution.
Scientists in Utah have detected the second-most energetic cosmic ray ever seen. The powerful particle rivals the highest-energy cosmic ray on record, called the Oh-My-God particle, which was spotted in 1991.
Finding methane in the atmosphere of WASP-80 b provides a good roadmap for how to do it for planets more conducive to life.
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) recently looked at WASP-107b, a puffy, strange, hot planet about 200 light-years from Earth.
Astrophysicists working with the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have found a surprising amount of metal in a galaxy only 350 million years after the Big Bang.
Last year, global astronomers picked up evidence of an explosion called a luminous fast blue optical transient, or LFBOT. But the bizarre thing about this explosion was that it kept exploding.
Every lunar swirl identified to date coincides with a magnetic field over the lunar surface, which scientists think deflects solar particles. There also seems to be a connection between lunar swirls and lava tubes buried beneath them.
The chances of finding extraterrestrial life have improved slightly after NASA announced that its Hubble Space Telescope has confirmed the size of an Earth-sized exoplanet only 22 light-years from Earth.
When future astronauts explore Mars's polar regions, they will see a green glow lighting up the night sky. For the first time, a visible nightglow has been detected in the martian atmosphere by ESA's ExoMars mission.
A recent deep field image from the Webb Space Telescope features two galaxies. These galaxies are remarkable for their distance from Earth, being the second and fourth most distant galaxies ever observed.
Scientists have spotted a stunning "aurora-like" display of crackling radio waves over the surface of the sun that is strikingly similar to the Northern Lights on Earth.
The burst that originated some 2.4 billion light-years away from Earth and struck the planet on 9 October last year may have led to changes in the upper ionosphere, according to a new study.
Every 76 minutes, like clockwork, the gamma-ray flux of Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole in our galaxy, fluctuates, suggesting an orbital motion of something whirling madly around the black hole.
Instruments on NASA's Webb telescope are providing new clues about the time window when planets can form around a young star.
