The molten planet, with an atmosphere rich in sulfur-bearing gases, is unlike anything astronomers have ever smelled.

A new study reveals all five fundamental nucleobases - the molecular "letters" of life - have been detected in samples from ...

A study led by the University of Oxford has identified a new type of planet beyond our solar system—one that stores large amounts of sulfur deep within a permanent ocean of magma. The findings have ...

We're starting to see just how exceptional our own solar system and its history is, as more exoplanets are discovered. A fourth exoplanet discovery in the LHS 1903 system made by ESA's CHEOPS mission ...

New geological evidence suggests that the slow wobble of Earth’s axis may have triggered rapid climate swings during the Late Cretaceous greenhouse world.

In this issue of our environmental newsletter, we look at a new way to measure and manage your climate impact; find out why scientists are concerned about a plan to launch a million satellites; and ...

Lead researcher Nathan Roth said the image shows the comet is “bursting with methanol in a way we just don’t usually see.” ...

The solar panels would be mounted on floating platforms anchored on the reservoir, rather than on surrounding land.

New SETI research suggests space weather like solar winds could be interfering with alien radio signals, making them harder to detect.

War Machine imagines a machine arriving from space. Real astronomy has detected interstellar visitors like ʻOumuamua, 2I/Borisov and 3I/ATLAS.

In 2022, a NASA spacecraft intentionally barreled into the tiny asteroid Dimorphos during a planetary defense test. New observations show how it went.

Astronomers using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) have detected hydrogen cyanide (nitrogen-bearing organic molecule commonly seen in comets) as well as unusually high levels of ...
