What happens at the particle level when aurora lights dance in rapid, shape-shifting arcs. An experiment called KiNET-X found out.

A remarkable study led by Chih-Chun “Dino” Hsu, a postdoctoral associate at Northwestern University’s Center for Interdisciplinary Exploration and

This research challenges long-standing assumptions about Mars, and suggests that the thick crust under its southern highlands supported granitic magmas and underground aquifers billions of years ago.

A group of astronomers has stumbled upon a galaxy in the making that appears to be a mirror image of what our Milky Way might have resembled during its early stages.

New findings by scientists using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) shed light on this hybrid of comet and asteroid, revealing unprecedented insights into its surface chemistry and activity.

These ancient creatures are the direct predecessors of one remarkable group: the mammals.

This tiny distance in cosmic terms lets scientists capture a new type of information, revealing secrets about solar winds, extreme heat, and magnetic fields.

Over time, many considered it a harmless quirk of physics, dismissed without much further investigation.

This new framework, called NASA’s Low Earth Orbit Microgravity Strategy, was developed following extensive input from a broad range of industry, academic, international, and governmental stakeholders.

During its closest approach, also called perihelion, mission operations will be out of contact with the spacecraft.
