Even most rocket scientists would rather avoid hard math when they don't have to do it. So when it comes to figuring out ...

Scientists using NASA's James Webb Space Telescope have observed a rare type of exoplanet, or planet outside our solar system, whose atmospheric composition challenges our understanding of how it ...

The Kuiper belt, a disc of icy rocks on the outermost edges of the solar system, seems to have more structure than we thought. In 2011, researchers found a cluster of objects there on similar orbits ...

Having made its closest approach to the sun on Wednesday October 29, comet 3I/ATLAS will soon be visible from Earth again—before it leaves our solar system. While the comet—first spotted in July—has ...
