Tiny grains collected from the asteroid Ryugu have given scientists a new window into the magnetic forces that shaped the ...

A weak magnetic field likely attracted matter inward, contributing to the formation of the outer planetary bodies, from ...

Astronomers have discovered two exoplanets around TOI-1453, a star about 250 light years away. These two exoplanets, a super-Earth and a sub-Neptune, are common in the galaxy, yet are absent from our ...

"The goal of this project was to explore the fundamental low-mass limit of the star and brown dwarf formation process." ...

Nuclear pulse propulsion is a technology that would work. It was being developed in the 1960s. It was stopped because of the nuclear test ban treaty and ...

The discovery that inert helium can form bonds with iron may reshape our understanding of Earth’s history. Researchers from ...

Our Solar System is in motion and cruises at about 200 kilometres per second relative to the center of the Milky Way.

Astronomers used the powerful James Webb Space Telescope to sleuth out some of these objects, called brown dwarfs, in a vibrant star-forming region of our galaxy called the Flame Nebula. Brown dwarfs ...

The entire solar system, ours at least, sits inside a pocket of low density called the Local Hot Bubble (LHB). This cavity in space is 1,000 light-years across, at least, and tips the thermometer at ...

Millions of years ago, our Solar System traveled through a densely populated galactic region and was exposed to increased interstellar dust.

The Flame Nebula, located about 1,400 light-years away from Earth, is a hotbed of star formation less than 1 million years old. Within the Flame Nebula, there are objects so small that their cores ...
