A newly discovered dwarf planet called 'Ammonite' (2023 KQ14) has been spotted in the outer solar system, and it could be ...

New observations fail to confirm signs of life in the atmosphere of the distant planet K2-18b. They also raise questions ...

Evidence that rocky planets beyond Jupiter formed as rapidly, and at the same time, as the inner planets could transform our understanding of how planets take shape — not only in our solar system, but ...

Astronomers may have caught a still-forming planet in action, carving out an intricate pattern in the gas and dust that ...

Astronomers have discovered the earliest seeds of rocky planets forming in the gas around a baby sun-like star, providing a ...

A tiny object far beyond Pluto, newly discovered by the Subaru Telescope, could reshape our understanding of the early Solar System. Named 2023 KQ14, this rare “sednoid” follows an unusual orbit that ...

Astronomers have, for the first time, observed the very beginning of planet formation around a star beyond our Solar System.

In a cosmic first, scientists watched planet-forming materials begin to solidify around a newborn star, offering a peek into ...

One of the most satisfying parts of KSP is watching your space program grow from launching tiny rockets to exploring distant ...

To figure out your TWR, look at the engine stats in the Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB). Divide the engine’s thrust by the rocket’s weight. Remember, weight changes as you burn fuel, so check the TWR ...

Examining the growth of storms using ERA-5 reanalysis data reveals a nonlinear relationship between baroclinicity and storm activity under extreme conditions.

Recent reductions in U.S. oceanographic assets are limiting scientists' ability to access vital materials in the ocean.
