The comet, originating from beyond our solar system, continues to draw attention from astronomers worldwide as multiple Nasa ...
A visitor from beyond the stars has caught NASA’s eye. The interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS, observed between 7 and 15 August, is offering astronomers a rare chance to study material from outside our solar ...
Last month, astronomers made an exciting discovery, observing an interstellar object — only the third of its kind ever ...
Stars move, and now this paper is showing not only that they move, but they encounter drastic changes,” said Boston University space physicist Merav Opher, whose most recent research proposes that ...
A controversial new paper questions whether the interstellar object 3I/ATLAS is a potentially dangerous alien probe, similar ...
For years, scientists studying the chemistry of space have been puzzled by an odd problem—there simply isn’t as much sulfur ...
The processes involved in this formation, in addition to rampant flare activity from a tempestuous new star, have been ...
“We finally [know] the interstellar cloud structure near us,” says independent astrophysicist Bruce Elmegreen, based in Katonah, N.Y.
Summary: Scientists are prospecting in a rich molecular cloud in our Milky Way Galaxy. They seek to discover new, complex molecules in interstellar space that may be precursors to life.
Outside of this shell lies the Local Interstellar Cloud (LIC), a haze of hydrogen and helium approximately 30 light-years across.
For decades, astrochemists have been looking for sulfur atoms in space and finding surprisingly little of the element that is a key ingredient to life. A new study could point to where it has been ...
