A new experimental study published in Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta reveals that Mercury’s sulfur-rich interior behaves in ...

Did 29 Cygni b form like a planet, or like a star? Or are the two not quite as distinct as previously believed?

The Artemis II mission, which took four US astronauts around the Moon and to a record-breaking distance from Earth, was a ...

The astro-modified camera used to take this photo lets in the hydrogen alpha light that is normally filtered out. This modification makes the camera more sensitive to the red end of the ...

Planets, like those in our solar system, form in a bottom-up process where small bits of rock and ice clump together and grow larger over time. But the heftier the planet, the harder it is to explain ...

Interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS showed changes in its gas composition after passing close to the sun, offering data on its ...

The JWST discovers an impossible anomaly on TOI-5205 b and challenges everything we thought we knew about giant planets.

Earth may have won a cosmic chemistry lottery. Researchers found that during the planet’s earliest formation, oxygen had to be in an extremely narrow “Goldilocks zone” for two life-essential elements, ...

What specific processes are responsible for planetary formation and evolution? This is what a recent study published in Astronomy & Astrophysics hopes to address as an international team of ...

Earth formed within such a precise “Goldilocks zone” for oxygen that a 5% change would have prevented life from emerging.

An international team led by Dr. Indrani Das of Academia Sinica Institute of Astronomy and Astrophysics (ASIAA) has shown, ...
