The most feasible explanation is that icy ring particles raining down onto Saturn’s atmosphere cause this heating, according to a team of astronomers...
There are many thousands of volcanoes on the surface of Venus. These volcanoes provide clues into the interior properties of the planet, properties that...
The newly-discovered ultramassive black hole has a mass of 32.7 billion solar masses and resides in the center of Abell 1201 BCG, a massive elliptical...
The dayside of TRAPPIST-1b, the innermost planet in the seven-planet system TRAPPIST-1, has a temperature of about 227 degrees Celsius (441 degrees Fahrenheit),...
Astronomers using the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope have taken a beautiful picture of the luminous spiral galaxy Z 229-15, which is found in the constellation...
Gas giants, like other planets, form from protoplanetary disks of material around protostars. According to core accretion theory, they first form a core...
On September 26, 2022, NASA’s DART spacecraft collided with the asteroid Dimorphos in a controlled test of our asteroid deflection capabilities. The...
NASA has released a brilliant photo taken by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope of the globular cluster Messier 55.
This Hubble image shows a portion...
Streams of star-forming gas dripping from the disk of a spiral galaxy called JW100 are formed by a process called ram pressure stripping, and their resemblance...
The new animation shows the gamma-ray sky’s frenzied activity during a year of observations by the Large Area Telescope (LAT) aboard NASA’s Fermi Gamma-ray...
Planetary scientists have examined volcanic areas on Venus that were imaged two or three times by NASA’s Magellan spacecraft and identified a 2.2-km2...
Wolf-Rayet stars are in the process of casting off their outer layers, resulting in their characteristic halos of gas and dust. The new Webb images of...
The subsurface ocean of Jupiter’s icy moon Europa is heated from below via tidal heating and radioactive decay of the rocky interior, while being cooled...
Astronomers from the COSMOS-Web program released mosaic images taken in early January 2023 by the Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam) and Mid-Infrared Instrument...
NASA has released a stunning photo taken by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope of the dwarf galaxy UGCA 307.
This Hubble image shows UGCA 307, a dwarf...
Light from the distant supernova-hosting galaxy was gravitationally lensed by the foreground galaxy cluster RX J2129.6+0005 (RX J2129 for short).
This...
3C 297 is located about 9.2 billion light-years away in the constellation of Virgo and contains a quasar, a supermassive black hole pulling in gas at the...
