NASA astronaut and Expedition 73 Flight Engineer Zena Cardman inspects sample cassettes for installation into the Advanced Space Experiment Processor-4 (ADSEP-4) at the maintenance work area inside the International Space
Minimum accreted masses inferred from the five most commonly detected elements (O, Mg, Si, Ca, Fe) as a function of white-dwarf cooling ages (i.e., the time since the white dwarf
Since the interstellar object (ISO) 3I/ATLAS was first discovered on July 1, 2025, it has garnered much attention, including speculation, hopes and fears that it may somehow contain evidence of

In 2024, astronomers discovered the brightest Luminous Fast Blue Optical Transient (LFBOT) ever observed. LFBOTs are extremely bright flashes of blue light that shine for brief periods before fading away.
Terrestrial planets such as Earth need an early solar system rich in short-lived radioisotopes. But the supernovae that create these elements would tend to rip an early system apart. A
Status Report astro-ph.EP January 4, 2026 JAXA Venus orbiter Akatsuki IR2 infrared camera image at the 2.26 μm “atmospheric window” allows surface heat shine through allowing suface features to emerge.
The subglacial microbiome splits into two clusters. (A) An NMDS on the unaggregated read counts of all taxonomic nodes within 19 abundant subglacial classes splits samples into two clear clusters.
More than a billion years ago, in a shallow basin across what is now northern Ontario, a subtropical lake much like modern-day Death Valley evaporated under the sun’s gentle heat,
