While the discovery of the normally microbe-produced phosphine on our toxic neighbour is astonishing, other candidates for life are more promising

A beautiful new image of Jupiter from the Hubble Space Telescope - captured in August 2020 - shows the planet's icy moon Europa as well as several famous storms in Jupiter's atmosphere.

Its too early to tell for sure, but innovative ways to explore the planet and its atmosphere could provide a much more complete picture.

NASAs Hubble telescope is known to capture some of the spectacular occurrences in the space and this time as well, it has captured dazzling images of gigantic Jupiter.

Scientists used data gathered by NASA's Cassini spacecraft during 13 years of exploring the Saturn system to make detailed images of the icy moonand to reveal geologic activity.

The Hubble Space Telescope has captured an absolutely stunning image of Jupiter. The image shows a multitude of storms and even the icy moon Europa hanging out in the background. Jupiter's storms are going through significant changes, and scientists can't explain why.

A spacecraft was en route to Venus when phosphine happened to be spotted.

Just next door, cosmologically speaking, is a planet almost exactly like Earth. Its about the same size, is made of about the same stuff and formed around the same star. To an alien astronomer light years away, observing the solar system through a telescope, it would be virtually indistinguishable from

The Earth's biosphere contains all the known ingredients necessary for life as we know it. Broadly speaking these are: liquid water, at least one source of energy, and an inventory of biologically useful elements and molecules.

Some of the most interesting places to study in our solar system are found in the most inhospitable environments but landing on any planetary body is already a risky proposition. With NASA planning robotic and crewed missions to new locations on the Moon and Mars, avoiding landing on the steep slo

NASA ponders two Venusian probes; Russian official calls Venus a Russian planet.

After an intriguing detection of phosphine in the clouds of Venus, it may take one or more spacecraft visiting our neighboring planet for scientists to truly understand what's happening.

In a region torn by conflict, whats overhead offers hope for the future.

About 7.5 billion years from now, our sun will have converted most of its hydrogen fuel into helium through fusion, and then burned most of that helium into carbon and oxygen. It will have swollen to a size large enough to fill the solar system nearly to the current orbit of Mars, and lost almost half of its mass in winds. At this stage the very hot remnant star will ionize the ejected material, lighting it up and causing it to glow as a planetary nebula (so-called not because it is a planet but

Astronomers have captured stellar winds emitted by aging stars in unprecedented detail. Astronomers have captured stellar winds emitted by aging stars in unprecedented detail. The discovery gives and explanation of the array of shapes seen in planetary nebulae as well as a glimpse of what the solar system could look like after the Sun dies.

Astronomers studying stellar winds from cool red giants realized that the painting each star makes is shaped by its companions.

Astronomers have presented an explanation for the shapes of planetary nebulae. The discovery is based on a set of observations of stellar winds around aging stars. Contrary to common consensus, the team found that stellar winds are not spherical, but have a shape similar to that of planetary nebulae. The team concludes that interaction with an accompanying star or exoplanet shapes both the stellar winds and planetary nebulae. The findings were published in Science.

An ancient galaxy called SPT041847 has been found near the edge of the observable Universe. This family of stars looks much like the Milky Way and that is what makes this discovery so surprising galaxies from the early Universe are supposed to look different than they do today. Formed just 1.4 billion years …
