The planets, stars, and distant galaxies have long captured our imaginations. Our curiosity about these distant realms has led us to send humans into space, land robots on Mars, and create enormous telescopes with unprecedented reach.

When NASA’s OSIRIS-REx mission returned material from asteroid Bennu in 2023, scientists confirmed that the 4.6 billion year old rocks contained amino acids, the essential molecules that make life possible. Amino acids are responsible for…

Some genetic mutations that are expected to completely stop a gene from working surprisingly cause only mild or even no symptoms. Researchers in previous studies have discovered one reason why: cells can ramp up the activity of…

Volcanoes are not just an Earthly phenomenon. Scientists have already identified volcanic features, including lava tubes, on both Mars and the Moon. Now researchers from the University of Trento report strong evidence that Venus also contains an…

Surprised astronomers said Thursday they have discovered a star with planets in a bizarre order that defies scientific expectations – and suggests these faraway worlds formed in a manner never seen before.
In our Solar System, the four…

Scientists have long believed that around 700 million years ago, Earth experienced extreme cold conditions known as “Snowball Earth”, when ice stretched from the poles to the equator.
However, there has been uncertainty…

In a paper to be published in the Planetary Science Journal, scientists from SETI Institute, Southwest Research Institute, Caltech and the Observatoire de Paris argue that two Saturnian moons, Titan and Hyperion, are not primordial worlds, but…
