An innovative technique for measuring the force acting on individual grains of sand could help scientists uncover how winds have shaped the surface of Mars.
Gravitational wave detectors on Earth have heard the "cry" of two newborn black holes with some unusual and remarkable properties.
Fragments of CI chondrite meteorites, which are space rocks that are typically rich in water, have turned up in the sample collected from the moon's South Pole-Aitken basin by China's Chang'e 6 mission.
The 4MOST instrument on the European Southern Observatory's VISTA telescope has captured its first light.
Using NASA's TESS exoplanet hunter, astronomers have discovered a strange arrangement of exoplanets around tight binary stars that shouldn't be.
While interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS will not come near our planet, future ones may. A new campaign seeks to improve orbit predictions.
Our team detected glowing nickel vapor in the gas surrounding the incoming interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS at an extraordinary distance from the sun, where temperatures remain far too cold for metals to normally vaporize.
With the Argonaut lunar lander and the LUNA simulation facility in Germany, the European Space Agency is building the technology and training to have life on the moon.
Europe has just run its most extreme space weather simulation yet — a scenario so severe that no spacecraft was left unscathed.
This new analysis could be used to test the physics of quantum chromodynamics in the future.
