    Voyager 2 May Have Caught Uranus At a Bad Time, Solving a 40-Year Mystery : ScienceAlert

    The “ice giants” of the Solar System – Uranus and Neptune – remain the least explored of any planets orbiting our Sun.

    Thanks to the sheer distance between them and Earth, the first probe to ever study them was the Voyager 2 probe, which…

    Study suggests ancient skies rained down ingredients for life on Earth

    Earth’s earliest atmosphere may have done more than shield the planet from the Sun. New research suggests the sky itself helped supply early life with key sulfur-based molecules, long thought to appear only after biology took hold.

    A study…

    Applying the Principles of Reduce, Reuse, Recycle to Space

    By its very nature, spaceflight is very challenging and very wasteful. As Tsiolkovsky’s famous Rocket Equation establishes, propellant accounts for the majority of a rocket’s mass, which is burned off during launch. The process also…

    Direct Images Of Nova Explosions Reveal Their Complexity

    White dwarfs are called stellar remnants because they’re what’s left of main sequence stars after they’ve shed most of their mass and ceased fusion. But despite being mere remnants for whom fusion is only a distant memory, they can still…
