Korea’s Kompsat-2 satellite captured this image over the sand seas of the Namib Desert on 7 January 2012. The blue-and-white area is the dry riverbed of the Tsauchab. Black dots of vegetation are ...

These surprising effects, detected in observations from the James Webb Space Telescope , include a cold spot in Jupiter's ...

The Hubble and Euclid space telescopes caught a stunning portrait of a dying star at the heart of the Cat's Eye Nebula.

A dying star’s final breath creates a haunting, brain-shaped cosmic silhouette.

If you’ve seen illustrations or models of the solar system, maybe you noticed that all the planets orbit the Sun in more or ...

Astronomers using the Very Large Telescope study faint brown dwarfs in the RCW 36 nebula to understand substellar populations and the initial mass function in a young massive cluster.

According to astronomers, these types of aging stars produce large amounts of cosmic dust and spread it into space.

A small, round piece of asteroid Ryugu (sample #91), called “S-lunar,” contains tiny particles (less than 1 mm) that will allow planetary scientists to study the magnetic signature of the early solar ...

Samples from Ryugu, a small, near-Earth asteroid, preserve natural remanent magnetization (NRM) from the early history of the solar system. However, despite multiple studies, there is currently no ...

To uncover the history of our solar system, it is necessary to study the dynamic evolution of the ancient solar nebula materials. These materials interacted and coevolved with the weak but widespread ...

The solar system formed about 4.6 billion years ago from a condensed nebula, and with it our planet Earth, which was a ball ...

Paleomagnetic analysis of 28 Ryugu asteroid particles reveals stable magnetization acquired within millions of years of solar ...
