Computer simulations suggest NASA’s Habitable Worlds Observatory could detect Earth-like exomoons around gas giant exoplanets through reflected starlight and lunar eclipses.

Far beyond Neptune, at the cold edge of our solar system, millions of icy objects drift quietly in a region called the Kuiper ...

Astronomers have puzzled for years over a strange pattern in the outer solar system. A surprising number of icy bodies far beyond Neptune resemble snowmen, made of two rounded lobes stuck together.

Astronomers have long debated why so many icy objects in the outer solar system look like snowmen. Michigan State University ...

At a glance, Saturn’s rings appear calm and pristine when observed from afar. These rings are quite narrow and consist mainly of water ice particles that uniformly circle Saturn in a symmetric ...

Researchers at the University at Albany are building a computer model that will predict weather-related electrical outages across North America.

Close-up measurements from NASA’s Parker Solar Probe are giving scientists an unprecedented look at how the solar wind gains ...

Astronomers have uncovered a distant planetary system that flips a long-standing rule of planet formation on its head. Around the small red dwarf star LHS 1903, scientists expected to find rocky ...

Now researchers think they've solved the mystery of one of the longest star-dimming events ever recorded. The star, called ASASSN-24fw, may have disappeared behind a giant planet with an enormous ...

NASA shared some new infrared images of the 3I/ATLAS interstellar comet this week, showing the visitor brightening up in a dramatic outburst while exiting a solar system. The images were taken by the ...

Generating power on islands typically involves use of diesel gensets. Due to land and roof space constraints, transitioning to and scaling up renewable power projects is difficult and can limit ...
