NASA has selected a new space telescope proposal that will study the recent history of star birth, star death, and the formation of chemical elements in the Milky Way. The gamma-ray telescope, called the Compton Spectrometer and Imager (COSI), is expected to launch in 2025 as NASA's latest small astrophysics mission.

The talk of the day in the world of telescopes is the James Webb. The mother of all galactic observation devices will be heading into orbit this December, following several delays and an overall bumpy ride. But NASA isn’t stopping there, and will send more such hardware into space this decade.

Astronomers have solved a mystery that the Hubble Space Telescope first discovered nearly a decade ago. A pair of streaky objects actually appear that way thanks to a "ripple" in the fabric of space.

The Webb Space Telescope (WST) is ready to take Hubble’s performance to the next level, with an even higher sensitivity and wider wavelength range. We can expect some amazing developments in infrared space science, as this powerful telescope gets ready to start its mission.

According to Space.com, it is one of the few galaxies you can see from Earth.

A team of researchers affiliated with a host of institutions in France has recorded the details and characteristics of an undersea volcano that was born in 2018. In their paper published in the journal Nature Geoscience, the group describes the volcano as the largest undersea eruption ever recorded.

A Spanish drone operator on Tuesday received permission to try to rescue three emaciated dogs trapped near a volcano in the Canary Islands, by catching them with a remote-controlled net and flying them out over a stream of lava.

A man who may have been trying to flee or rescue residents of Herculaneum was buried in pyroclastic flow when Vesuvius erupted.

Volcanic eruption on Spanish island hits one-month mark

One month after the Cumbre Vieja volcano erupted on the Spanish island of La Palma spewing red-hot lava and ash, Culberta Cruz, her husband and their dog are living in a tiny caravan on a parking lot and see no end of the ordeal in sight.

Chinese scientists offer new insights into the thermal and chemical evolution of the Moon, with study from China's Chang'E-5 lunar sample return mission. These samples of volcanic rock, which is a type of basalt, are the youngest lunar samples to be directly dated, at around 2 billion years old.

More than 1,800 buildings on the island of La Palma have been destroyed.

Following several aftershocks and outbursts from the volcano on La Palma Island this week, a "tsunami" of rapidly volcanic magma moved towards the Atlantic Coast. The lava pouring from a conduit as it poured down the Cumbre Vieja ridge was recorded in breathtaking imagery.

Studying powerful eruptions means witnessing beauty and tragedy in the same moment.

New research suggests high water content in magma can significantly reduce the risk that a volcano will explode. That's not what experts thought.

Police tried to stop the stolen car, but the driver fled. They chased the car to Cary where the suspect jumped and ran.

The sun delivered an ethereal aurora to the planet after a solar outburst earlier this month.

The European Space Agency (ESA) nearly lost its veteran gamma-ray space telescope Integral last month when a charged particle disabled one of the reaction wheels that keep its solar arrays pointed at the sun.

On 22 September, around midday, ESA's Integral spacecraft went into emergency Safe Mode. One of the spacecraft's three active 'reaction wheels' had turned off without warning and stopped spinning, causing a ripple effect that meant the satellite itself began to rotate.

New results from NASA satellite data show that space weatherthe changing conditions in space driven by the suncan heat up Earth's hottest and highest atmospheric layer.

Vivid green and purple aurora swirled and danced across the entire night sky in Sweden recently. The nighttime light show was captured by an all-sky camera in Kiruna, Sweden, which is part of the European Space Agencys (ESA) Space Weather Service Network. This camera is pointed straight up, and is fitted with a fish-eye lens … Continue reading "Here’s the View From Sweden During the Recent Solar Storm"

A solar eruption occurred on the Sun last week, which resulted in a coronal mass ejection being shot directly towards Earth.

A giant magnetic tunnel could be covering Earth, as well as the solar system and nearby stars. Should we worry about it?

Scientists say that our existing internet infrastructure -- namely undersea cables -- isn't equipped to weather the next big solar storm. Here's why.

A mass of solar material that erupted from the Sun on October 9, 2021, reached Earth on October 12. The Earth-directed coronal mass ejection, or CME, elevated the Kp index, a measure of disturbance to Earths magnetic field, to 6 (moderate level). Kp index levels range from 0 (quiet) to 9 (intense).

Unusual circumstances meant the Pacific Northwest was at the southernmost latitude where the aurora borealis was visible.

One of the main arguments in favor of solid-state batteries is that they would be way safer than the current ternary cells. Solid Power wanted to prove that with its batteries and put them to third-party testing.
