The rockets launch window for NASA’s Ion-Neutral Coupling during Active Aurora mission opened Wednesday (March 23) and runs through April 1; another window is open from April 3–7. The Wednesday launch was scrubbed due to...
NASA and crowdsourcing platform HeroX have launched a $30,000 challenge to find better ways to analyze data relating to Mars’ potential to host life. The deadline to make your submission is April 18, and you can...
Take three black holes and throw them into the disk surrounding a supermassive black hole and things get really weird, really fast. That’s the conclusion of new research digging into a particularly strange gravitational...
SpaceX launch 50 Starlink internet satellites and landed the returning rocket on a ship at sea (Feb. 25). A two-stage Falcon 9 rocket topped with 50 Starlink internet spacecraft lifted off from...
One of the James Webb Telescope first studies will seek to tell us more about 19 nearby galaxies and how they fit into our neighborhood’s history. The infrared images taken from deep space will allow Webb telescope...
“Optical lattice atomic clock are already the best clocks in the world, and here we get this level of performance that no one has seen before,” Shimon Kolkowitz, a University of Wisconsin-Madison physics professor and...
The China National Space Administration is preparing to launch two new space station modules, named Wentian and Mengtian, on separate Long March 5B rockets in the coming months. Preparations for both missions...
While normal stars have surfaces composed of hydrogen and helium, the stars discovered by Werner and his colleagues have their surfaces covered with carbon and oxygen, the ashes of helium burning — an exotic composition for...
Are there liquid-water lakes beneath Mars’ south polar ice cap? The answer seemed to be a big yes back in 2018 when scientists announced the first evidence for the lakes. But now, that initial, seemingly clear, result...
The James Webb Telescope launched on Dec. 25 and has spent its time in space so far executing a complicated sequence of deployments to unfold the telescope to its final configuration. On Thursday (Jan. 6), the...
James Webb Telescope has been in the process of cooling down and aligning its mirror segments since February 2, after reaching its orbital point beyond the moon on January 24. The James Webb Telescope launched to space on...
