Planets that orbit white dwarf stars should be too hot to host alien life, theories suggest. But a new study accounting for ...

NASA scientists have discovered an electric field encompassing Earth’s atmosphere that is as “fundamental” as gravity — and could even give clues about possible life on other planets. A team of NASA ...

Shedding light on the gravity of the situation. Most people do not realize that many of the stars and heavenly bodies they see in the sky no longer exist. In fact, many have ceased to exist for ...

From Newton’s falling apple to Einstein’s curved spacetime, our understanding of gravity has come a long way, yet this familiar force remains one of the biggest puzzles in physics.

Astronomers spotted a young planet, WISPIT 2b, forming within a dusty ring around its star system, offering clues about the ...

Rogue planet Cha 1107-7626 is swallowing gas and dust at roughly six billion tons each second, the fastest planetary growth ...

Astronomers have captured the clearest picture yet of how massive stars are born, revealing a dramatic interplay between ...

Our solar system officially houses eight planets, but some scientists say there could be a ninth. And that’s not just Pluto aficionados – evidence suggests a huge undiscovered world lurks on the dark ...

How do you explore the interior of a planet without ever touching down on it? Start by watching the way the planet spins, then measure how your spacecraft orbits it — very, very carefully. This is ...

Researchers have discovered there was an anomaly in Earth's gravitational field between 2006 and 2008, potentially caused by ...

More than a 150 years ago, before Neptune was ever sighted in the night sky, French mathematician Urbain Le Verrier predicted the planet’s existence based on small deviations in the motion of Uranus.

A new space probe could soon transform how we study distant planets without ever landing on them. The Gravity Imaging Radio Observer, or GIRO, is a proposed NASA concept that aims to map the interiors ...
