Dec. 1, 2023 An international multidisciplinary team consisting of solar physicists, geophysicists, and historians from nine countries analysed observations of an ...
Dec. 1, 2023 Micrometeorites originating from icy celestial bodies in the outer Solar System may be responsible for transporting nitrogen to the near-Earth region in the early days of our solar ...
Nov. 30, 2023 The discovery of a planet that is far too massive for its sun is calling into question what was previously understood about the formation of planets ...
Nov. 30, 2023 Astronomers have provided the first observation of water and other molecules in the highly irradiated inner, rocky-planet-forming regions of a disk in one of the most extreme environments in our ...
Nov. 29, 2023 Cutting-edge computer simulations combined with theoretical calculations are helping astronomers better understand the origin of some of the ...
Nov. 29, 2023 While life on Earth is relatively new, geologically speaking, the ingredients that combined to form it might be much older than once thought. The simplest amino acid, carbamic acid, could have formed ...
Nov. 28, 2023 Asteroid Phaethon, which is five kilometers in diameter, has been puzzling researchers for a long time. A comet-like tail is visible for a few days when the asteroid passes closest to the Sun during ...
Nov. 28, 2023 Scientists have announced the discovery of nearly 300 gamma ray ...
Nov. 28, 2023 Researchers have discovered a new relationship between the Sun's magnetic field and its sunspot cycle, that can help predict when the peak in solar activity will occur. Their work indicates that the ...
