A newly published catalog reveals 2,200 new exoplanet candidates, found in data captured by TESS, the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite.
Methane that's trapped beneath the surface of Mars is occasionally released. Scientists found that underground salts deposited into the soil form a crust. This crust traps the methane, which is released when temperatures go up. READ MORE:
On Christmas Day, 2021, an Ariane 5 rocket leaped from its launch pad in French Guiana. Perched on the rocket’s nose was the long-awaited James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). The JWST was designed to perform several tasks, but one of the most important was to study the first stars and galaxies to come into existence. The telescope has performed magnificently; however, some troubling observations have been reported. When the JWST took its first look at the sky, it seemed to have found galaxies...
The superficially Earthlike appearance of Titan, as imaged by the James Webb Space Telescope, is belied by its cold and inhospitable weirdness. Titan is a strange world — a little bit Earthlike, if land were made of water ice, rivers and seas were filled with liquid methane and other hydrocarbons, and the atmosphere were thick and hazy, dotted with methane clouds. — Read the rest

NASA's Hubble Space Telescope embarks on a cosmic treasure hunt for small belt asteroids. NASA's Hubble Space Telescope embarks on a cosmic treasure hunt, scanning the vast expanse to capture the trails of small asteroids that dart through space.
Engineers at L3Harris Technologies in Rochester, New York, have combined all 10 mirrors for NASA's Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope. Preliminary tests show the newly aligned optics, collectively called the IOA (Imaging Optics Assembly), will direct light into Roman's science instruments extremely precisely. This will yield crisp images of space once the observatory launches.
Since the discovery of Neptune in 1846, scientists have postulated that there is yet another planet, Planet 9, lurking in our solar system. Originally called Planet X (not the Roman numeral 10, but just a a placeholder, and not to be confused with Planet X, the doomsday planet Nibiru), Planet 9 is believed to be […]
