The powerful new Rubin Observatory just found 11,000 new asteroids and measured ‘tens of thousands more’
This offers us a glimpse of the discovery surge scientists expect to occur once full operations begin.
Saturn’s magnetic field is curiously warped, and one of its moons may be to blame
"A better understanding of Saturn’s environment is especially urgent now as plans for our return to Saturn and its moon Enceladus start to be developed."
Interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS may be nearly 12 billion years old — so ancient its star system may no longer exist
Our solar system's famous "invader" might be as old as the Milky Way itself.
Powerful X-class solar flare triggers radio blackout ahead of Artemis 2 launch (video)
An X1.4 solar flare triggered radio blackouts and launched a fast CME as NASA prepares for its Artemis 2 moon mission.
Are Saturn’s rings made of a lost, shattered moon? New evidence arises for the case
New simulations suggest Saturn's rings formed from a shattered moon called Chrysalis, offering clues to the planet's tilt and surprisingly young rings.
Hitting the brakes: Hubble Space Telescope watches doomed comet reverse its spin
The unprecedented observations of comet 41P/Tuttle–Giacobini–Kresák show its rotation slowing, reversing and then speeding up, and jet-like outbursts of gas might be providing the push.
Sun storms are powered by a magnetic engine 16 Earths deep, study finds
The powerful magnetic field belonging to the sun is generated far beneath the visible surface.
Incredible new NASA images reveal Saturn in a new light — and it’s all thanks to a telescope team-up from Webb and Hubble
Observations from the James Webb and Hubble space telescopes reveal Saturn's atmosphere and rings in the most detailed view created to date.
Lightning on Jupiter could be up to 1 million times stronger than on Earth
Lightning on Jupiter may pack more than 100 times the power of Earth's bolts, and may prove one million times stronger, a new study finds.
Like ‘accelerating from stationary to supersonic flight’: Europe’s Hera probe boosts speed, stays on course for November asteroid rendezvous
Europe's Hera spacecraft has completed a major deep-space maneuver, setting it on course to rendezvous late this year with the asteroid system targeted by NASA's DART mission back in 2022.
