Findings by Rutgers and other scientists could help shed light on how galaxies and their supermassive black holes form
NASA’s MESSENGER mission has unveiled the first global digital elevation model (DEM) of Mercury
The May 9 Mercury transit will occur between about 7:12 a.m. and 2:42 p.m. EDT.
New compositional data from NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft reveal a distinct water-ice signature on the surface of Pluto’s outermost moon, Hydra.
While the full moon cannot turn people into werewolves, some people do accuse it of causing a bad night’s sleep or creating physical and mental alterations. But is there any science behind these myths?
A star like the sun has an internal driving in the form of a magnetic field that can be seen on the surface as sunspots.
Astronomers have discovered the second-strongest merger shock in clusters of galaxies ever observed.
Using data from the Solar Wind Around Pluto (SWAP) instrument from the New Horizons July 2015 flyby, scientists have for the first time observed the material coming off of Pluto’s atmosphere and studied how it interacts with the solar wind, leading to yet another “Pluto surprise.”
Space physicists say that they now have a treasure trove of information about how Pluto’s atmosphere interacts with the solar wind.
