Written by Athanasios Klidaras, Ph.D. candidate at Purdue University On Mars, the past is written in stone - but the present is written in sand. Last week, Perseverance explored inactive megaripples to learn more about t...

A new Durham University study has found that a giant impact may not be responsible for the formation of Jupiter's remarkable "dilute" core, challenging a theory about the planet's history.

A weird and extremely violent new type of supernova in which a massive star was "stripped to the bone," offers a rare glimpse of the interior of a massive star prior to its death.

Some stars in the universe grow to 300 times larger our own sun. But how do they get so big, and how do they sustain their mass?

Studying the signals that humanity beams through the solar system has allowed a team of NASA researchers to pinpoint where and when astronomers should hunt for alien technosignatures.

Neil Armstrong almost made a mistake. He had found an interesting rock sticking out of a formation. Curious to see what the rock was made of, he needed to examine its interior more closely. So he reached for his hammer a...
