Good morrow and a cheerful week's end to you. This week, we reported on notable developments in the lack of starfish body development. Physicists used a new method to revisit the planetary collision that likely formed the ...
A pair of theoretical physicists are reporting that the same observations inspiring the hunt for a ninth planet might instead be evidence within the solar system of a modified law of gravity originally developed to understand ...
The face of astronomy is changing. Though narrow-field point-and-shoot astronomy still matters (JWST anyone?), large wide-field surveys promise to be the powerhouses of discovery in the coming decades, especially with the ...
The first use of a novel method of analyzing Mars' gravitational force supports the idea that the planet once had an extensive northern ocean.
Our best understanding of the universe is rooted in a cosmological model known as LCDM. The CDM stands for cold dark matter, where most of the matter in the universe isn't stars and planets, but a strange form of matter that ...
Getting to know planets or moons inside out isn't easy. Like Earth and its moon, many celestial bodies are multilayered and can contain anomalous internal features that reflect the complex history of their formation, collisions ...
At the center of Earth is a vast ball of metal, the planet's core. While unreachable without the help of Jules Verne, it can be studied and plays a vital role for the world.
A new study reports conclusive evidence for the breakdown of standard gravity in the low acceleration limit from a verifiable analysis of the orbital motions of long-period, widely separated, binary stars, usually referred ...
Members of the public are invited to take part in a brand new citizen science project to identify cosmic explosions in real-time.
The famous first image of a black hole just got two times sharper. A research team used artificial intelligence to dramatically improve upon its first image from 2019, which now shows the black hole at the center of the M87 ...
