"There's no way for us to operate such a complex facility."
Using the James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers have discovered the smallest brown dwarfs ever seen with the potential to form planets and surrounded by mysterious molecules.
"These first images are astonishing, but the best is still yet to come."
As climate change accelerates and politicians continue to argue, scientists are exploring radical new ways to protect our planet. One of the most ambitious concepts under development is a Planetary Sunshade System (PSS), essentially a massive space based umbrella designed to reduce the amount of sunlight reaching Earth and help stabilise global temperatures.
Gas clouds in the Milky Way's Galactic Center (GC) contain copious amounts of star-forming gas. But for some reason, few massive stars form there, even though similar gas clouds elsewhere in the galaxy easily form massive stars. The clouds also form fewer stars overall. Are they a new type of molecular cloud?
When the Sun rages and storms in Earth's direction, it changes our planet's atmosphere. The atmosphere puffs up, meaning satellites in Low-Earth Orbit (LEO) meet more resistance. This resistance creates orbital decay, dragging satellites to lower altitudes. One researcher says we can change the design of satellites to decrease their susceptibility.
A team of astronomers have captured spectacular images of what appears to be a gas giant planet in the process of formation, located 430 light years away from Earth. The discovery, led by researchers at the University of Galway, provides rare visual evidence of how planets are born within swirling disks of dust and gas around young stars.
A researcher throws cold water on a recent effort that purported to eliminate black holes' greatest and most enduring mystery — the existence of their central singularity.
NASA employees have until July 25 to decide if they'll stay or go.
Grab a Lego set worthy of the Lisan al Gaib with the Lego Dune Ornithopter.
Scientists find surprising evidence that space dust is shaping the surfaces of Uranus' largest moons.
This month's full Strawberry Moon rides low across the southern sky via livestream on June 11.
Join the European Space Agency at the new Paris Space Hub during this year’s International Paris Air Show.
In two related firsts, the James Webb Space Telescope has discovered sand-filled rains on a distant exoplanet as its "sandcastle" partner world forms from sandy matter before the eyes of astronomers.
Rocket Lab launched an Earth-observing radar satellite to orbit for the Japanese company iQPS on Wednesday morning (June 11).
The Solar Orbiter has captured humanity's first look at the south pole of the sun, revealing messy magnetic fields and particles being ejected at high speeds.
Apple TV+ released a Season 3 trailer for its far-future sci-fi saga 'Foundation'.
Thanks to its newly tilted orbit around the Sun, the European Space Agency-led Solar Orbiter spacecraft is the first to image the Sun’s poles from outside the ecliptic plane. Solar Orbiter’s unique viewing angle will change our understanding of the Sun’s magnetic field, the solar cycle and the workings of space weather.
Get the Bushnell 10x42mm Trophy at its best price this year — a fantastic pair of budget binoculars for skywatching on the go.
Star RIK 113 is busy making a new planet in its protoplanetary disk as seen in this new image from the Very Large Telescope.
Here are the best photos of the lowest full moon in over a decade.
