Self-consistent obliquity and spin rate evolution for several realizations of exoplanet Kepler-79 d. Trajectories go from right to left. The planet is initalized with a spin rate of 7.5 hours

Conditions on Venus’ surface have largely remained a mystery for decades. Carl Sagan famously pointed out that people were quick to jump to conclusions, such as that there are dinosaurs
Left, the free fluids phase and Fe-enriched blebs are entrained in the magma ocean. Center: water is outgassed to create a steam atmosphere while the Fe-enriched blebs sink toward the
WASP-39b 3D model cross sections. Shown are the local gas temperature, Tgas (left) and cloud dust-to-gas mass ratio, ρdust/ρgas (right). The values are derived from the 3D GCM results
In a striking new view from space, the European Space Agency’s Solar Orbiter has given scientists their first close-up glimpse of the sun’s magnetic field near its south pole —
If the skies are clear these next few nights, take a few moments to look up. You just might be lucky and catch a glimpse of a spectacularly bright meteor
View larger. | Astronomers have created a 3D temperature map of the exoplanet known as WASP-18b. It’s the 1st 3D temperature map ever for any exoplanet. The exoplanet, an ultra-hot
