Exoplanets with and without a magnetic field are predicted to form, behave, and evolve very differently. In order to understand the exoplanet population, and to make progress understanding habitability, astronomers

Physicists from the University of Copenhagen have begun using the gigantic magnetic fields of galaxy clusters to observe distant black holes in their search for an elusive particle that has

Climate change isn’t just transforming weather on Earth’s surface, it’s also fundamentally altering how space weather affects the thousands of satellites orbiting our planet. New research reveals that rising carbon

Space is getting dangerously crowded. More than 50,000 pieces of debris larger than 10 centimetres are currently hurtling around Earth at breakneck speeds, turning Earth orbits into veritable minefields. Dead

What if the universe began with a fireworks show? A new theory suggests that supermassive black holes, the mysterious giants found at the heart of galaxies, were born from the

Our Moon is a seismically active world and its long history of quakes could affect the safety of permanent base structures there. That’s one conclusion from a study of quakes

Supercomputer simulations are helping scientists sharpen their understanding of the environment beyond a black hole’s “shadow,” material just outside its event horizon.

We already know a decent amount about how planets form, but moon formation is another process entirely, and one we’re not as familiar with. Scientists think they understand how the

The Universe’s early galaxies were engulfed in halos of high-energy cosmic rays. It’s likely because they had tangled and turbulent magnetic fields. These fields accelerate cosmic rays to higher energies.

China took a step closer to the Moon, with the first short test for their crewed lunar lander. The test was completed on Wednesday, August 6th at a facility in
