Though NGC 7456 looks like a modest spiral galaxy, new Hubble and XMM-Newton observations reveal a bustling system with star-forming regions and an active core.
Hubble’s latest image captures a glittering star cluster inside the Large Magellanic Cloud, a dwarf galaxy about 160,000 light-years from Earth. This region, known as N11, is one of the galaxy’s largest stellar nurseries where vast clouds of gas and…
We’ll likely need to get Perseverance’s samples to Earth to determine if they do indeed harbor evidence of Mars life —but the prospects of such a mission are cloudy at best.
A Russian Progress freighter loaded with 2.8 tons of cargo will launch toward the International Space Station today (Sept. 11), and you can watch it live.
New research shows that Australia is lagging well behind Europe when it comes to digitized border control, adopting a “staggering” level of secrecy that is threatening individual democratic rights.
Researchers have examined a sediment core from the Roman town and metal production center of Aldborough in Yorkshire, revealing metal production did not collapse immediately after the Romans left Britain.
It is one of the largest nebulas on the sky — why isn’t it better known?
“Completely surprising” discovery based on ancient pollutants suggests mining and smelting continued apace for centuries
NASA’s Perseverance rover has discovered mudstones in Mars’ Jezero Crater that contain organic carbon and unusual textures hinting at possible biosignatures. These findings suggest that ancient Martian environments may have supported chemical processes similar to those on Earth, where microbial…
Scientists in Canada have uncovered a surprising culprit behind high blood sugar and liver problems: a hidden fuel made by gut bacteria. This little-known molecule, called D-lactate, slips into the bloodstream and pushes the liver to make too much sugar…
