Scientists are probing stellar "quakes" to understand what lies beneath the surface of a star's body.

A massive solar windstorm in 2017 compressed Jupiter's magnetosphere "like a giant squash ball," a new study reports.

Understanding exoplanet evolution could help solve the mystery of the 'hot Neptune desert.'

The JWST was used in a creative way to capture direct images of distant worlds.

Using the James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers have captured direct images of Neptune's elusive auroras for the first time.

A cosmic coincidence has led to one of the most amazing images ever captured by NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope.

Astronomers have tracked several meteorites that dropped in on Earth back to their origin, space rocks in the main asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter.

A new model that incorporates data gathered by the JWST could help scientists understand the composition and mass of objects in the distant Kuiper Belt and beyond.

The Mars water debate continues. A team of scientists suggests vast oceans of water may not be locked within the Red Planet's crust, despite InSight lander data.

The James Webb Space Telescope has detected water vapor and thick clouds on LTT 9779 b, an ultra-hot Neptune locked in a blistering 19-hour orbit.

Astronomers have used near-infrared light to explore the extreme forces behind the eruption of LMC68, a recurrent nova in the Large Magellanic Cloud.

A major milestone with the Vera C. Rubin Observatory has been reached with the installation of the telescope's enormous eye — the world's largest digital camera.

Scientists think geysers on Saturn's moon Enceladus might come from a "mushy" zone of ice along the world.

Mars is known as the "Red" Planet, but what actually makes it red? New research offers answers.

Technicians have installed the sunshade on NASA's Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, which is scheduled to launch in Spring 2027.

Scientists are cataloging and analyzing the first samples collected by NASA's Perseverance rover while the agency weighs its options for returning them to Earth.

The European Space Agency's XMM-Newton X-ray observatory has identified what's causing mysterious lights in the outskirts of the Large Magellanic Cloud.

Scientists simulated what would happen if a medium-size asteroid were to strike Earth. One of those space rocks, asteroid Bennu, has a 1-in-2,700 chance of hitting Earth in the year 2182.

They're calling them "planetary embryos".

Scientists are trying to find a solution to microgravity-induced vision changes to ensure future long-duration space travelers remain in healthy condition.

NASA's Hubble Space Telescope spotted a cosmic Bullseye galaxy, revealing evidence of a rare kind of galactic collision.

The building blocks of life could have been delivered to solar system dwarf planet Ceres by one or more space rocks from the outer asteroid belt.

A study of volcanic cones near the equator on Mars is challenging what scientists previously knew about when and where water flowed on Mars.

"Chemical rockets that we use today, even with the extra speed boost from flying by planets, or from swinging by the sun for a boost, just don't have the ability to scale to useful interstellar speeds."

The long-held assumption that Jupiter's iconic swirling clouds are made of frozen ammonia could be upended.
