Another U.S. military mini shuttle blasted off Thursday night to conduct classified experiments in space.
More than 5,000 planets have been discovered beyond our solar system, allowing scientists to explore planetary evolution and consider the possibility of extraterrestrial life. Now, a UC Riverside study published
NASA’s Artemis II mission, set to send four astronauts on a nearly 10-day mission around the moon and back, will advance the agency’s goal to land astronauts at the moon’s
The JWST has found another moon orbiting Uranus. It’s the planet’s 29th known moon, and it bears the uninspiring, temporary name S/2025 U1. It’s too small and faint to be

Earth’s atmosphere is large, extending out to around 10,000 km from the surface of the planet. It’s so large, in fact, that scientists break it into five separate sections, and
Researchers at Durham and collaborators in the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) mission have proposed a bold new theory that black holes could be converting matter into dark energy.
For thousands of years, humanity viewed the skies as unchanging, except for a few “wandering stars” (that we now know are planets). As we improved our ability to perceive the
The discovery of an extremely rare quadruple star system could significantly advance our understanding of brown dwarfs, astronomers say. Brown dwarfs in wide binary orbits offer a chance to determine
