A team of researchers has just found that the predicted curvature of space-time calculated using relativity does not always quite match up to what we observe
Martian moons could be a result of an early collision similar to that of Earth and Theia. This new model proposes an interesting middle way. Rather than an impact or direct capture, the authors propose a near miss by a large asteroid.
The history of water on early Mars is not certain. Determining when water first appeared, where and for how long, are all burning questions that drive Mars exploration.
A still-forming planet has been detected early in its birth process, thanks to what may have been a chance encounter with a passing star that flipped part of the obscuring disk out of the way, exposing the baby planet.
NASA's Curiosity Mars rover viewed these yellow crystals of elemental sulfur using its Mast Camera. The discovery marks the first time this mineral has ever been found in a pure form on Mars.
Measurements over the years show that the planet's upper atmosphere is cooling and that the temperature has halved. None of the other planets experienced the same changes.
For the first time, we have succeeded in taking a zoomed-in image of a dying star in a galaxy outside our own Milky Way. The star WOH G64 is located a staggering 160 000 light-years from us.
According to a new analysis of the Lafayette Meteorite, minerals within it formed in the presence of water 742 million years ago. It's a real breakthrough in the dating of aqueous minerals on Mars.
In recent years, astronomers have developed techniques to measure the metal content of stars with extreme accuracy.
Using data from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI), astronomers have completed the most precise gravity test ever taken.
Have you heard of the 3+30+300 rule for urban forestry? See how Melbourne and Sydney compare to New York, Denver, Seattle, Buenos Aires, Amsterdam and Singapore on trees, canopy and park proximity.
Parts of the Great Barrier Reef have suffered the highest coral mortality on record, Australian research showed Tuesday, with scientists fearing the rest of it has suffered a similar fate.
Brain imaging of fetuses and infants reveals a rapid increase in functional brain connectivity at birth, aiding adaptation to the external world.
Emerging research suggests that we may absorb essential nutrients from the air we breathe, a concept now being explored under the term “aeronutrients.”
Scientists have identified a unique form of cell messaging occurring in the human brain, revealing just how much we still have to learn about its mysterious inner workings.
