NASA’s Juno spacecraft has been orbiting Jupiter since 2016, mapping the planet’s gravity and magnetic fields with extraordinary precision. Instead of finding a dense solid core or no core at all, the ...

Advanced 3D reconstructions of the comb jelly’s aboral organ reveal a sensory system far more complex than scientists expected. The organ contains a wide variety of specialized cells and is closely ...

How This Physics Trick Defies Gravity ...

When the densest objects in the universe collide and merge, the violence sets off ripples, in the form of gravitational waves ...

For decades, astronomers wondered why most nearby galaxies are speeding away from the Milky Way instead of being pulled in by its gravity. New simulations reveal the answer: our galaxy sits in a ...

When black holes collide, the crash generates ripples in the fabric of spacetime—gravitational waves. These distortions ...

Astronomers produce the most complete map of the center of the Milky Way, which can provide insight into how stars and ...

A team of scientists has investigated the so-called "Grand Canyon of the Atlantic": A huge underwater canyon extending 500 ...

If you’ve ever wanted to step through a portal into a landscape that feels completely separate from everyday reality, good ...

The classical idea of the so—called "Goldilocks zone" - the area around a star where the temperature allows liquid water to exist — may be too simplistic. A new work by astrobiologists suggests a more ...

When black holes collide, the crash generates ripples in the fabric of spacetime—gravitational waves. Thanks to a global ...
