Asteroid 2024 YR4, once feared to be on a collision course with Earth, has origins from the main asteroid belt. New studies reveal its surprising characteristics and trajectory.
The LIFE mission aims to explore rocky exoplanets in habitable zones to assess the likelihood of life beyond Earth. Even without finding life, it could change our understanding of planetary habitability.
Astronomers have made a groundbreaking discovery about Uranus' rotation using decades of data from the Hubble Space Telescope, resolving a long-standing mystery surrounding the planet's magnetic field.
A decade of Hubble observations reveals Uranus takes 17 hours, 14 minutes, and 52 seconds to rotate. This new data, 28 seconds longer than previous estimates, may reshape our understanding of the ice giant's geography and future missions.
On its 35th anniversary, the Hubble Space Telescope reveals a breathtaking image of NGC 346, a bustling star-forming region in the Small Magellanic Cloud, shedding light on early universe conditions and stellar dynamics.
NASA reveals that the chances of asteroid 2024 YR4 hitting the Moon on December 22, 2032, have increased to nearly 4%. What does this mean for the Moon and potential human presence there?
NASA's new space telescope, SPHEREx, has captured its first images, revealing tens of thousands of galaxies and stars. This groundbreaking technology promises to enhance our understanding of the universe's evolution and origins.
Recent research reveals that the 'music' of starquakes can provide deep insights into the histories and inner workings of giant stars. Discover how this groundbreaking study challenges past assumptions and sheds light on our galaxy's evolution.
NASA's SPHEREx observatory has commenced its mission, capturing stunning infrared images of the universe. This groundbreaking telescope aims to map millions of galaxies and answer key questions about water and cosmic evolution.
Asteroid 2024 YR4 was once feared to have a 3% chance of hitting Earth in 2032, but the Webb Space Telescope's latest images show it's much less threatening. Discover what these findings mean for future space threats!
