One of the most powerful black holes in the universe is belching out gas at speeds of up to 10,000 kilometers per second, making its estimated mass more than 10
A swarm of spherical rovers, blown by the wind like tumbleweeds, could enable large-scale and low-cost exploration of the Martian surface, according to results presented at the Joint Meeting of
What can exoplanets orbiting M-dwarf stars teach scientists about planetary formation and evolution? This is what a recent study posted to the arXiv preprint server and submitted to the American
Utah State University’s Space Dynamics Laboratory has released open-source software to detect potentially harmful shooting stars, called bolides—bright meteors that explode as they enter Earth’s atmosphere. The software can be
When astronauts head out into space they are protected from deadly radiation by their spacecraft and on space walks, their space suit. Back on Earth, we too are protected but
Mercury’s large metallic core is 70% of its mass, which is way more than the other rocky planets. Scientists have wondered if a collision with a much larger body stripped
NASA’s Chandra X-ray space telescope has found a black hole that’s growing at an extremely rapid pace. The telescope is seeing the black hole, which has about one billion solar
