The observations of the star are the first to reveal two almost perfectly spherical shells of dust around it.

Higher above the planet’s surface, wind patterns resulting from solar heating and east to west zonal winds compete, possibly resulting in altered local temperatures and their variability over time.

The impact of a coronal mass ejection resulted in strong compression of our planet’s magnetosphere.

The Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite will break into pieces during reentry, but not all of it will burn up in the atmosphere.

Detailed computer simulations indicate that violent mergers of neutron stars in binary systems likely are the main sources of the heaviest chemical elements in the universe.

Exoplanet Kepler-19c makes itself known by its influence on Kepler-19b, a world scientists can see as it passes in front of its home star.

Solar Dynamics Observatory data indicates that radiation from solar flares continues for up to 5 hours beyond the peak event, with the total energy sometimes being greater than that of the initial flare.

The images show distinct trails left in the Moon’s thin soil when the Apollo 12, 14, and 17 astronauts exited the lunar modules and explored on foot.

NGC 2100 in the Large Magellanic Cloud is often overlooked due to its proximity to the Tarantula Nebula.

Research indicates that a type of magnetic wave that propels only electrons could be generated by magnetic reconnection far from Earth that then propagates rapidly away from the site of the explosion.

The astrophysicist is best-known as a guitarist and songwriter with the rock group Queen.
