As they roll across shadowed regions of the moon’s surface, future lunar rovers could develop hazardous buildups of electric charge on their wheels. Through new analysis published in Advances in

How do blue stragglers defy the aging that turns their mates red? Blue stragglers are found in ancient star clusters, where they outshine stars the same age, looking far bluer
The Helix Nebula is one of the closest and brightest planetary nebula. It’s what’s left of a dying star and has nothing to do with planets. Our Sun will end
Some really unique science can be done during a total solar eclipse. Totality is the one time we can see the elusive corona of the Sun, the pearly white segment
If humans are ever going to expand into space itself, it will have to be for a reason. Optimists think that reason is simply due to our love of exploration
High-precision oxygen isotopes in Apollo lunar soils reveal a persistent impactor fingerprint, showing that impacts contributed only a tiny fraction of Earth’s water.
The Hubble Mission Team has released another image of the space telescope’s study of star formation. This image shows the dark cloud Lupus 3, a star-forming region about 500 light-years
The resolution of the Event Horizon Telescope is limited by the diameter of Earth, and our observations of the black hole in M87 and in our own galaxy are at
Back in 2014, the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) captured an image of a young protoplanetary disk around a young star named HL Tauri. The image showed gaps and rings
Material science plays an absolutely critical role in space exploration. So when a new type of self-healing composite is announced, it’s worth a look–especially when the press release specifically calls
