There is much less water on the surfaces of distant planets outside our solar system than previously thought. These ...

In our nearby stellar neighborhood, a burned-out star is snacking on a fragment of a Pluto-like object. With its unique ultraviolet capability, only NASA's Hubble Space Telescope could identify that ...

NASA spotted a new moon almost at the border of our solar system. Back in 1986, a theory came up that this cosmic body could ...

In scientific terms, it is normal for some predictions to fail. Not so much in the how, but in the when. A few years ago, some astronomical experts predicted that an asteroid would ...

Astronomers have detected the chemical fingerprint of a frozen, water-rich planetary fragment being devoured by a white dwarf ...

Researchers using the Hubble Space Telescope have discovered water vapor in the atmosphere of planet K2-18b, located about ...

“These microbes, if we found them, would be anaerobic,” Schwieterman explains in the release, meaning the microscopic organisms don’t require oxygen to grow. “They’d be adapted to a very different ...

Primarily, this involves finding a means to produce sulphur concrete, a material of a potential strength to be similar or higher levels of conventional Earth-based cementitious concrete.

New research from NASA has found that the dwarf planet Ceres may be another place to look for evidence of primitive life in our solar system.

In the search for habitable exoplanets, atmospheric conditions play a key role in determining if a planet can sustain liquid ...
