Scientsts from the United States, Europe and China have used the Ultraviolet Spectrograph (UVS) onboard NASA’s Juno spacecraft to map detailed patch...
A new analysis of data from four instruments aboard NASA’s Cassini spacecraft has demonstrated the crucial role that Saturn’s small icy moon Enceladus...
Two immense, ultrahot rock structures located at the base of Earth’s mantle, around 2,900 km beneath Africa and the Pacific, have been shaping Earth’s...
New high-resolution observations by ESA’s Solar Orbiter mission show that solar flares are driven by cascading magnetic reconnection events, unleashing...
The composition of Uranus and Neptune might be less icy than previously thought, according to a new study by University of Zürich scientists.
Uranus could...
In 1986, NASA’s Voyager 2 provided the only direct measurement of the radiation environment at Uranus. These findings established the well-accepted characterization...
This streamer of gas is channeling matter from the surrounding cloud of a star-forming region in Perseus directly onto a newborn binary star system called...
Any image we have ever seen of the Sun was taken from around the Sun’s equator. This is because Earth, the other planets, and all other operational spacecraft...
In new research, astronomers using the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope searched for signs of interactions between the magnetic environment and the surfaces...
Magnetars are neutron stars with ultra-strong magnetic fields that are about a quadrillion times greater than the magnetic field of Earth. These huge magnetic...
Physicists from the Muon g-2 experiment have released their third measurement of the muon magnetic anomaly. The final result agrees with their published...
Since the Big Bang, the early Universe had hydrogen, helium, and a scant amount of lithium. Later, some heavier elements, including iron, were forged in...
Recent measurements from NASA’s InSight mission show that Mars’ core is less dense than planetary scientists previously believed. This indicates that...
New research provides the first conclusive evidence that a fast radio burst can originate from the magnetosphere, the highly magnetic environment immediately...
Physicists at MIT have directly stimulated atoms in an antiferromagnetic material using a terahertz laser, a light source that oscillates more than a trillion...
Messier 77 is a well-known, relatively nearby, bright spiral galaxy with a supermassive black hole at its center.
An artist’s concept of Messier 77,...
A team of researchers at Cornell University has created a new class of magnetically controlled microscopic robots (microbots) that operate at the visible-light...
Polar vortices are present in planetary atmospheres, from the Earth-like rocky planets to Jupiter- and Saturn-like gas giants. However, not much is known...
When NASA’s Voyager 2 spacecraft flew by Uranus in 1986, it provided scientists’ first close glimpse of this ice-giant planet. Alongside the discovery...
