NASA unveils plans to construct the first lunar railway station, introducing the Flexible Levitation on a Track (FLOAT) system for efficient payload transport on the Moon's surface.
The precise measurement of the gathered samples, initially estimated at around 250 grams or approximately a cupful, will be established when the primary sample container is unsealed, expected to transpire within the coming fortnight.
According to NASA, at least five planets — Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Uranus and Mars — will line up near the moon on Tuesday after sunset.
The Jupiter moons were added recently to a list kept by the International Astronomical Union's Minor Planet Centre, said Scott Sheppard of the Carnegie Institution, who was part of the team.
Video comparing Jupiter's size to other planets has piqued the interest of Internet users. The viral video shows how big the planet is when compared to Earth and other planets in the solar system.
The last such parade of these planets occurred in 947 AD around 1,000 years ago.
Dubbed as 'Hycean' -- hot, ocean-covered planets with hydrogen-rich atmospheres, the new class of exoplanets are more numerous and observable than Earth-like planets, and can support life, said astronomers from the University of Cambridge in the UK.
A new research using magnetism has provided significant data that will help inform scientists about the early origins of the solar system and why some planets such as Earth became habitable and were able to sustain conditions conducive for life, while other planets, such as Mars, did not.
According to a recent study, Oumuamua an extrasolar object is not made from molecular hydrogen ice. Oumuamua was discovered by the University of Hawaii's Pan-STARRS 1 telescope in October 2017.
Scientists have developed a new puffy model for the shape of the Sun's heliosphere or the magnetic bubble that surrounds our solar system.
An international team of over 100 astrophysicists created the most detailed 3D map of the universe, giving us a look back at its expansion history. It is the result of an analysis of more than four million galaxies and ultra-bright, energy-packed quasars.
According to a new study, the moon was formed from a magma ocean that took up to 200 million years to solidify. This points out to the fact that the moon finished forming about 4.425 billion years ago, or 100 million years later than previously thought.
Planet Venus was spotted during day time in Jaipur on Wednesday, the assistant director of BM Birla Planetarium said.
Scientists have discovered a massive exoplanet that orbits a star located some 3,000 light-years away from us and it may be potentially habitable.
For the first time, scientists have directly measured wind speed on a brown dwarf, an object larger than Jupiter (the largest planet in our solar system) but not quite massive enough to become a star.
Astronomers have discovered 139 new trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) -- minor planets located in the far reaches of the solar system.
For the first time, the team of scientists at the University of Zurich investigated a range of different collisions on both planets using high-resolution computer simulations.
The Sun looks like a boiling pot of popcorn, belies the notion of a bland yellow orb. Details in the newly released images show plasma, which covers the sun, that appears to boil.
Mars today is cold and dry – a desert world -- but dry river valleys and lakebeds suggest that water covered much of the Red Planet billions of years ago. Previous research has also found that Martian water mostly escaped into space.
