An international team of astronomers have used ground-based telescopes, including the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope (ESO's VLT), to track Neptune's atmospheric temperatures over a 17-year period. They found…
Weather on the Sun is always tricky to predict accurately, however it's looking like the upcoming Solar Maximum could be worth keeping an eye on! In fact, sunspot counts have…
On Wednesday, February 23, 2022, the U.S. National Science Foundation’s Inouye Solar Telescope commenced its first science observations, signaling the start of its year-long operations commissioning phase and a new…
With new algorithms and supercomputers, an incredibly detailed radio map of the universe has been created. Now astronomers can look at radio data of galaxies with much more precision. This…
The South African Radio Astronomy Observatory (SARAO) has released today a new MeerKAT telescope image of the centre of our Galaxy, showing radio emission from the region with unprecedented clarity…
The type of carbon is associated with biological processes on Earth. Curiosity scientists offer several explanations for the unusual carbon signals. After analyzing powdered rock samples collected from the surface…
NASA scientists say that the eruption of a submarine volcano in Tonga is helping them to understand how features formed on the surfaces of Mars and Venus. The unusual explosion…
Quantum batteries could one day revolutionize energy storage through what seems like a paradox – the bigger the battery, the faster it charges. For the first time, a team of…
More than 30 scientists across mainland China, Hong Kong and Macau are rushing to process data collected by China’s Mars rover, Zhurong, and by the nation’s Tianwen-1 spacecraft, which is…
On may 24th 2019 a Falcon 9 rocket built by SpaceX launched 60 communication satellites into a low orbit around the Earth. That evening they appeared as a string of…
Our galaxy is not alone. Swirling around the Milky Way are several smaller, dwarf galaxies — the biggest of which are the Small and Large Magellanic Clouds, visible in the…
Very cool research on the detection of an intermediate-mass (approx. 100,000 times the mass of the Sun) black hole in the most massive Globular Cluster of Andromeda. This means that…
Scientists say 35 novel discoveries included a pair of massive black holes 145 times as heavy as the sun orbiting each other. Astronomers have detected a record number of gravitational…
An updated search for primordial gravitational waves has not found a signal, which implies that some popular early Universe models are becoming less viable. Remarkably, the large-scale Universe can be…
