Scientists may have "seen" dark matter for the first time, thanks to NASA's Fermi gamma-ray space telescope. If so, this ...

As physicists search for a theory of quantum gravity, new results show that classical gravity can still interact with quantum fields to allow matter to become entangled. A new discovery suggests ...

The two stars in the nearby system ZTF J2130 are spiraling toward a catastrophic supernova. In the meantime, scientists are ...

European scientists are turning an aircraft into a laboratory that simulates lunar gravity to prepare astronauts and ...

First up, just pointing a rocket at the Sun and blasting as hard as you can would result in a wild miss. The main problem you ...

If, for some reason, we as a society executed villains by firing them into the Sun, this is how an astronomers says we would ...

That’s also true for the other moons that provide the gravitational stress. As a result, the internal oceans may actually ...

Quasars acting as strong gravitational lenses are among the rarest finds in astronomy. Out of nearly 300,000 quasars ...

Simulations show that subsurface oceans on small moons may hit boiling conditions, potentially creating features like Miranda’s distinctive ridges.

In data from a NASA space telescope over 17 years old, an astronomer has allegedly found direct traces of the enigmatic dark matter for the first time.

At the center of a galaxy 10 billion light-years away, a supermassive black hole is the new record holder for brightest flare ...

Pluto imparted a slight but measurable alteration to the New Horizons spacecraft's trajectory (both bending and acceleration) during its 2015 flyby. The minimal nature of this trajectory change was ...
