Webb Telescope is investigating the formation of moons around a massive planet. Astronomers are using the data to study the chemical composition of a disc that is believed to be the basis for the ...

New research shows oxygen ions from Earth’s upper atmosphere drive rust formation on the Moon. Lab experiments and satellite data reveal hematite forms when Earth wind interacts with lunar soils, ...

Scientists created the most accurate 3D map of star-formation regions in our Milky Way galaxy, based on data from the European Space Agency’s Gaia space telescope. The star-formation region that is ...

Astronomers map cosmic dust in the Milky Way, aiding in tracing next-gen star formation locations using the Gaia mission and machine learning.

Researchers from the Shanghai Astronomical Observatory (SHAO) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have revealed for the first ...

New findings from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope are shedding light on star formation in a dynamic cluster that lies within a nebula 200,000 light years away. NGC 346, located in the Small ...

A new study co-authored by Texas A&M University geologist Dr. Michael Tice has revealed potential chemical signatures of ...

When NASA released the first science images from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) in July, one of the standouts was of the Cosmic Cliffs — a region at the edge of the star cluster NGC 3324 in the ...

A recent discovery has led some experts to believe they’ve found the fossil of Noah’s Ark. Researchers have found that a boat-shaped mound — long believed by the faithful to be Noah’s Ark — was most ...

Where do planets come from? The entire process can get complicated. Planetary embryos sometimes run into obstacles to growth that leave them as asteroids or naked planetary cores. But at least one ...

Using data collected over two decades ago, scientists have compiled the first complete map of hydrogen abundances on the Moon's surface. The map identifies two types of lunar materials containing ...
