Scientists at the Leibniz Institute for Astrophysics Potsdam (AIP) have uncovered the intricate magnetic heartbeat of a ...

Scientists have revised the timeline for the approach of the rogue star Gliese 710, which is now expected to enter the solar system sooner than previously thought. This accelerated timeline has raised ...

This illustration shows the creation of an asteroid family. Ejected fragments from catastrophic collisions of asteroids between Mars and Jupiter tend to follow similar orbits around the sun, allowing ...

Surya is the first foundation model for heliophysics, built by a team of heliophysicists and machine learning experts. It learns from solar images, magnetic field data, and velocity measurements to ...

The interstellar object hurtling toward the inner solar system, where Earth is located, is much larger than previously thought, astronomers say. A comet named 3I/ATLAS likely weighs more than 33 ...

We’ve all seen this happen in a science-fiction movie: our plucky heroes jump into their ramshackle spaceship and escape the bad guys by flying through the treacherous asteroid belt, where huge rocks ...

NASA's IMAP mission and two other space weather probes took flight atop a Falcon 9 rocket today (Sept. 24). SpaceX just sent three space weather probes to the final frontier. A Falcon 9 rocket lifted ...

The number of confirmed planets outside of our solar system—known as exoplanets—has risen to 6,000, NASA has said. There is huge variety across these distant worlds, the space agency says, with ...

As a life-long lover of sci-fi battle scenes, it is always a joy to order a fleet of dozens of starships of all shapes and sizes to hyper-jump to a neighboring planet, then zoom in and watch as they ...

Just decades after the first exoplanets were identified, our database of the distant worlds—monitored by the NASA Exoplanet Science Institute—has breached a new threshold. Now, astronomers have ...
