Using the Green Bank Telescope, researchers with Breakthrough Listen recently detected repeating fast radio bursts coming from a distant galaxy.
The results suggest that the outer planets of the system might still harbour substantial amounts of water. This includes the three planets within the habitable zone of the star.
InSight will do a deep dive into the Martian underground, putting two instruments onto the surface that will ferry information back from the depths.
The most distant galactic magnetic field that has ever been observed provides intriguing clues about the evolution of magnetism in the unfolding universe.
A new research study by a group of astronomers, based on observation using the VLTI, has created the most detailed map of a star other than the Sun.
“Time after time, we discovered things that we hadn’t even imagined.”
weJames Webb telescope will study the “ocean worlds” of Jupiter’s moon Europa and Saturn’s moon Enceladus, the telescope’s observations could also help guide future missions to the icy moons.
Last year’s gravitational wave discovery may have felt like the end of an era. The discovery, instead, spawned an entirely new field of astronomy, and the results are finally starting to trickle in.
Scientists appear to have found the first X-rays coming from type Ia supernovae.
Elon Musk made public the first official photo of the commercial SpaceX spacesuit.
Once deployed, the mission will determine the composition, chemistry, dynamics, and radioactive transfer of Venus’ atmosphere.
A new study has indicated that the Gliese 832 system (located just 16 light-years away) may have a third exoplanet.
For the year-long experiment, astronauts will install the computer inside a rack in the Destiny module of the space station.
A numerical simulation of TRAPPIST-1 is used to play a piano note every time a planet passes in front of the star and a drum every time a faster inner planet overtakes its outer neighbor.
Nasa’s Cassini spacecraft is set to commence its final five orbits around Saturn, marking the final phase of its exploration mission of the planet.
