Back in 1997, the Hubble Space Telescope imaged the spectacular Trifid Nebula, a region of active star-formation. Now the telescope has revisited the Trifid. By comparing both images, astronomers have

The search for life beyond Earth has traditionally focused on exoplanets orbiting Sun-like stars, which is a G-type star. However, low-mass stars, which are designated as K-type and M-type stars,

As we make our way through the latest solar maximum period, scholars and scientists are looking to similar events in the past to learn more about ancient bouts of solar

New research examines 10 different types of global technological civilizations, how they govern themselves, how they use resources, and other factors, to determine which types may endure and which may

Using the eROSITA space telescope, MPE researchers have successfully isolated the X-ray glow from our Solar System, revealing its impact on the soft X-ray sky. The findings, published in Science,

Water is critical to life because cells need liquid to function. That’s why scientists focus on finding and studying exoplanets in habitable zones. But even if they’re in habitable zones,

New missions mean new capabilities – and one particularly interesting new mission is finally up and running. Data is starting to come in from SPHEREx, the medium-class surveyor that is

Rubin’s largest asteroid haul yet, gathered before the Legacy Survey of Space and Time even begins, is just the “tip of the iceberg”

Cherenkov radiation isn’t just a beautiful phenomenon. It turns up in nuclear reactors, in the upper atmosphere, in gamma ray telescopes on three continents, in a cubic kilometer of Antarctic

Using lunar regolith simulant, a team of researchers demonstrated that “immature” regolith similar to what is expected around the Moon’s southern polar region is suitable for rovers to drive on.
