A Southwest Research Institute-led team has modeled the early impact history of Venus to explain how Earth's sister planet has maintained a youthful surface despite lacking plate tectonics. The team compared the early collision histories of the two bodies and determined that Venus likely experienced higher-speed, higher-energy...
The nation is aiming for a crewed lunar landing by 2030.
NASA's Perseverance Mars rover sealed the tube containing its 20th rock core sample on June 23 (the 832nd Martian day, or sol, of the mission), and the mission's science team is excited about its potential. That's because this sample was drilled by the rover from an outcrop composed of tiny chunks of other rocks that were...
New research led by Newcastle University and published in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society has revealed that supermassive black holes obscured by dust are more likely to grow and release tremendous amounts of energy when they are inside galaxies that are expected to collide with a neighboring galaxy.
VIPER is NASA’s first rover that needs headlights.
The jug-like structure is a rare and short-lived double-lobed planetary nebula.

Apollo 11 was the American spaceflight that first landed humans on the Moon. Commander Neil Armstrong and lunar module pilot Buzz Aldrin landed the Apollo Lunar Module Eagle on July 20, 1969, at 20:17 UTC, and Armstrong became the first person to step onto the Moon's surface six hours and 39 minutes later, on July 21 at 02:56...
The 'ultracool' star is possibly around 44 times as dense as our solar system's largest member—the gas giant Jupiter.
While U.S. Space Force thus far has split National Security Space Launch (NSSL) between SpaceX and United Launch Alliance (ULA), the service plans to have one more provider by the end of NSSL Phase 3 to guarantee Space Force can reach high-priority orbits when needed.
Studying the hydrogen fingerprint from just after the Big Bang could allow researchers to kill 'two birds with one stone!'
"They look very Earth-like, but they're on Mars, so how could they form there?"
Materials found in the rocks of Mars' Jezero Crater suggest that organic matter may be widespread across the red planet.
You'll need to rule out human noise or other Earth-bound sources, which is to say eliminating the ‘confounders.' A control sample helps, too.
A study published this week in an astronomical journal suggests our universe could be 26.7 billion years old, or about twice as old as we thought.

Tweet by Elon, this has big implications for HLS as it affects the number of refuelling flights needed.
A new study increases the odds of finding the 'origins of life' in the Milky Way.
India has launched its Chandrayaan-3 mission, which aims to explore the south pole of the moon by rover, completing a scientific mission that was first attempted in 2019 but ended in catastrophic failure due to a software glitch...
Rocket Lab will launch seven satellites to orbit today (July 14) on a mission that will also feature a booster recovery, and you can watch the action live....
It's been one year since we saw the first official images taken by the groundbreaking James Webb Space Telescope....
The Magellanic stream is a cloud of dust and gas that wraps around our galaxy. It has long been thought to host stars, but they have never been seen until now
