A new study led by researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics ...

Provided they host thick, hydrogen-dominated atmospheres, moons orbiting free-floating exoplanets could retain much of the ...

Some white dwarfs in rapid binary orbits are far hotter and larger than theory predicts. Researchers found that powerful tidal forces between them generate enough heat to inflate their sizes and ...

Seismological research is directly related to the incubation, occurrence, and evolution of earthquakes. Scientists seek to reveal potential earthquake precursors by monitoring the stress state of ...

Forty light-years away, seven Earth-sized planets orbit around a dim red dwarf star in one of the most tightly packed planetary systems ever discovered. The TRAPPIST-1 system has captivated ...

Alongside the extraordinary fluvial discharges and the intense tidal currents, vigorous currents induced by the wind and an active western boundary current make this area one of the most energetic ...

FARGO — Today is the New Moon. The face of the moon is not visible because the sun is behind the moon and lighting up the other side. It is not an eclipse because the New Moon and the sun are not ...
