Venus is similar in size to Earth, but it stays far hotter because its thick atmosphere traps heat, as shown by NASA’s facts. That extreme heat has not erased the planet’s scars, which include hundreds of ringed features called coronae.

A new…

Strangely sharp circles of radio waves in space have puzzled astronomers since their surprise discovery in 2019. Now, a team has analyzed one closely in hopes that it might give up its secrets.

Firing up a new observatory brings the…

Type 1a supernovae are used as standard candles in the cosmic distance ladder. These energetic explosions occur when a white dwarf, an extremely dense stellar remnant, is in a binary pair with another star. The companion could be…

When you think about national park and public land astronomy programs, you might picture remote locations far from city lights. But a recent NASA Earth to Sky training, funded by NASA’s Science Activation Program, challenges that…

From navigating on Google Maps to tracking a hurricane making landfall, we’ve gotten used to seeing our planet from space. In the 1960s, though, that vantage point was ground breaking. At the time, NASA was pioneering human spaceflight—and…

The sensor model proposed in this work consists of (:left({text{H}text{R}text{P}text{L}text{D})}^{N}:Defect:right({text{H}text{R}text{P}text{L}text{D})}^{N}:)with the number of periods ((:N)). The geometric dimension…

Gravitational-wave detection technology is poised to make a big leap forward thanks to an instrumentation advance led by physicist Jonathan Richardson of the University of California, Riverside. A paper detailing the invention, published in the…
