Sep. 25, 2020 — Astronomers spotted a pair of massive baby stars growing in salty cosmic soup. Each star is shrouded by a gaseous disk which includes molecules of sodium chloride, commonly known as table salt, and ...
Sep. 24, 2020 — Geometric storm patterns on Jupiter's south pole have been a mystery to scientists, but researchers may have uncovered how they ...
Sep. 23, 2020 — Using a limited set of mathematical equations, a mathematical sciences professor said he has confirmed a 224-year-old math conjecture about the origins of our solar system, providing insights about ...
Sep. 23, 2020 — A new analysis reveals the behavior of the supermassive black hole in the center of the M87 galaxy across multiple years, indicating the crescent-like shadow feature appears to be ...
Sep. 22, 2020 — Astronomers have shown that water vapor can potentially be detected in the atmospheres of exoplanets by peering literally over the tops of their impenetrable ...
Sep. 21, 2020 — Researchers report the first ever clear images of nanojets -- bright thin lights that travel perpendicular to the magnetic structures in the solar atmosphere, called the corona -- in a process that ...
Sep. 21, 2020 — Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko has its own far-ultraviolet aurora, data reveal. It is the first time such electromagnetic emissions in the far-ultraviolet have been documented on a celestial object ...
Sep. 21, 2020 — Scientists have discovered a 'pi Earth' -- an Earth-sized planet that zips around its star every 3.14 days, in an orbit reminiscent of the universal mathematics ...
Sep. 18, 2020 — Scientists used observations recorded by members of the public to increase accuracy of computer model predictions of when harmful CMEs will hit ...
Sep. 17, 2020 — Hubble's sharp view is giving researchers an updated weather report on the monster planet's turbulent atmosphere, including a remarkable new storm brewing, and a cousin of the famous Great ...
Sep. 16, 2020 — When stars like our sun die, all that remains is an exposed core -- a white dwarf. A planet orbiting a white dwarf presents a promising opportunity to determine if life can survive the death of its ...
Sep. 16, 2020 — Thanks to a bevy of telescopes in space and on Earth -- and even a pair of amateur astronomers in Arizona -- astronomers have discovered a Jupiter-sized planet orbiting at breakneck speed around a ...
Sep. 16, 2020 — A scientist has identified stellar phosphorus as a probable marker in narrowing the search for life in the cosmos. She has developed techniques to identify stars likely to host exoplanets, based on ...
Sep. 16, 2020 — It is generally accepted that the inner region of the early solar system was subject to an intense period of meteoric bombardment referred to as the late heavy bombardment. However, researchers have ...
Sep. 15, 2020 — While scientists are eager to study the red planet's soils for signs of life, researchers must ponder a considerable new challenge: Acidic fluids - which once flowed on the Martian surface - may ...
Sep. 14, 2020 — A planet observed crossing in front of, or transiting, a low-mass star has been determined to be about the size of ...
Sep. 11, 2020 — Astronomers have determined that some carbon-rich exoplanets, given the right circumstances, could be made of diamonds and ...
Sep. 10, 2020 — Recent observations have found that something may be missing from the theories of how dark matter behaves. This missing ingredient may explain why researchers have uncovered an unexpected discrepancy ...
Sep. 10, 2020 — The gravitational push and pull by Jupiter's moons could account for more warming than the gas giant Jupiter ...
