Cosmic forensic experts are reconstructing the magnetic field around an infant star from the planet-forming disk of gas and dust around it.

"Most of the external layers of a massive star are removed during the supernova, but some material falls back, making the neutron star spin faster." ...

Astronomers have finally unlocked a crucial piece of the planet formation puzzle by detecting the magnetic fingerprint of a young star’s protoplanetary disk. Using ALMA, researchers observed how dust ...

Scientists measured a chorus wave emerging from an unexpected place, and confirmed a key piece of a theory about how these ...

NASA’s Juno spacecraft has uncovered an immense volcanic hot spot on Jupiter’s moon Io, surpassing any previously recorded ...

In a surprising discovery, scientists have detected "chirping" waves some 100,000 miles above Earth, in a region of the ...

WASP-121b is like nothing in the solar system, raining liquid metal and being puffy like a marshmallow. The origins of these ...

Chorus waves, quick bursts of energy known to occur relatively close to Earth and around other planets, were found in an ...

A team of physicists and engineers at the University of Colorado Boulder has discovered a new way to measure the orientation ...

The team behind this research reached that conclusion when they detected a helix-shaped magnetic field within a protostellar jet designated HH 80-81. HH 80-81 is the fastest protostellar jet ever seen ...

NASA detects mysterious 'chirping' signals, or chorus waves, 165,000 km from Earth, revealing surprising energy transfer in ...

NASA’s Juno spacecraft snapped a stunning image of a cloud on Jupiter shaped like a dolphin, proving that even science has an ...
