Cosmic rays are one of the greatest challenges for space travel and pose a considerable risk to humans and materials. For the ...

NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has captured a rare moment involving the comet C/2025 K1 (ATLAS) as it began breaking apart. Events like this are not often seen, mainly because comet fragmentation is ...

Cosmic voids are different. These vast expanses contain very little matter. In such places, the vacuum of space-time itself becomes the dominant component. If you were positioned at the center of a ...

Cosmic voids may seem like the emptiest places in the universe, stripped of matter, radiation, and even dark matter. But they’re far from nothing. Even in these vast empty regions, the fundamental ...

The research could shed light on how black holes vomit out matter and how this influences their home galaxies.

NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope got a rare look at the aftermath of two cosmic collisions — and helped scientists solve a decades-old mystery. Many years ago, scientists saw a dense, bright spot near a ...

When electronics meet cosmic rays, bad things can happen. Chip makers need to test what their products can withstand, and they now can at MSU.

The Milky Way nebula RCW 36 resembles a stunning cosmic bird of prey in an incredible Very Large Telescope image.

With NASA’s operations under existential threat from the Trump administration, maybe it’s not surprising that the agency will be taking a much needed moment to zone out and gaze into a void or two — ...

Observations show the universe appears flat, yet its true size and global shape beyond the observable horizon may remain forever unknown.

What processes other than water and energy could be responsible for creating life on other worlds? This is what a recent study published in the International Journal of Astrobiology hopes to address ...
