This artist’s illustration represents the possible interior dynamics of the super-Earth exoplanet LHS 3844b. The planet’s interior properties and the strong stellar irradiation might lead to a ...

The small icy worlds on the edge of our solar system may be better contenders for life than we first thought, scientists have found. The dwarf planets of Eris and Makemake, situated in the Kuiper Belt ...

Computer simulations have revealed that a hostile, tidally locked exoplanet located roughly 45 light-years from Earth is capable of hosting tectonic activity on a massive scale. Tectonic activity is ...

Our sun is about five times less magnetically active than other sunlike stars—effectively a special case. The reason for this could reside in the planets in our solar system, say researchers at the ...

Astronomers have been intently studying an exoplanet called LHS 3844b for many years. Back in 2019, researchers announced that they believed the planet was covered by dark lava rock. Researchers ...

What’s the perfect pandemic hobby? As people across the globe have adjusted their lives to Covid-19, activities as varied as bread baking and gaming have trended. But while carbs and screen time can ...

With the first images from the spacecraft now in hand, the team behind NASA's Star-Planet Activity Research CubeSat, or SPARCS, is ready to begin charting the energetic lives of the galaxy's most ...

Geoscientists at Virginia Tech may have figured out why Ceres — a dwarf planet and the largest celestial body in the solar system’s asteroid belt — was found to show “unexpected geological activity,” ...

To date, Earth has been the only planet in the Solar System known to demonstrate tectonic activity. Other planets are geologically active, but not much more than that. However, it now looks like our ...

A student-friendly guide to global biodiversity trends, helping young learners understand nature’s decline and the forces ...

This artist's illustration represents the possible interior dynamics of the super-Earth exoplanet LHS 3844b. On Earth, the heat generated from the radioactive decay of elements in Earth's mantle ...
