The FLAMINGO project helps scientists explore how galaxies, dark matter and cosmic structures evolved over billions of years.
Scientists studied how space junk moved in orbit over a 36-year span, finding that increased solar activity caused it to fall to Earth faster.
Mexico City is one of the fastest subsiding cities in the world, dropping by up to 14 inches every year.
A trans-Neptunian object was found to possess a surprising thin atmosphere after astronomers witnessed the object occult a distant star.
A prototype ion engine that uses lithium metal vapor as a propellant has aced its first tests, achieving 25 times more power than the ion engine on the Psyche mission.
Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have directly analyzed the surface of a distant super-Earth, revealing a dark, airless, Mercury-like world.
The Vela Supercluster, in our Milky Way's Zone of Avoidance, is competing gravitationally with other superclusters for the attention of local galaxies.
Looking like a scene out of "Star Wars," this image shows the ESO's Very Large Telescope Interferometer (VLTI) beaming four separate lasers into the sky towards the Tarantula Nebula.
Early galaxies were star-forming machines, gobbling up gas and spitting out stars with a furious intensity. A new model helps explain why things were so different back then.
Astronomers call this "eruptive mass loss," and it's a stellar drama we're still trying to fully grasp.
