The Vela satellites were built to catch secret nuclear tests, but they accidentally recorded flashes from deep space that opened a new branch of astrophysics
The Vela satellites were not built to study stars. They were built to watch for nuclear weapons. In…
Webb just clocked nearly 9,000 young star clusters and found the biggest ones break from their birth clouds in 5 million years, a timing clue that could reshape how astronomers model galaxies growing up
The James Webb Space Telescope has given astronomers a sharper look at how young star clusters escape their…
The Hubble Deep Field began as a gamble on a tiny patch of sky that had been chosen because it looked almost empty, and it ended by revealing nearly 3,000 galaxies hiding in what seemed like nothing.
In December 1995, the Hubble Space Telescope spent ten days staring at a small, deliberately unremarkable patch of…
Titan’s atmosphere is thicker than Earth’s, its rivers and lakes are made of methane and ethane, and NASA is sending a nuclear-powered drone there because on Saturn’s largest moon, flying may be easier than driving.
Titan, the largest moon of Saturn, has a denser atmosphere than Earth and a surface where rain, rivers,…
NASA deliberately crashed Galileo into Jupiter in 2003 to protect Europa, after the spacecraft found signs of the ocean it could one day contaminate
On September 21, 2003, a spacecraft about the size of a small bus hit Jupiter at 48.2 kilometres…
Enceladus is a tiny moon of Saturn that sprays water vapor and ice grains into space from an ocean hidden beneath its icy crust — meaning a spacecraft can sample material from an alien sea without ever landing.
This is accurate, and a spacecraft has already done it. Enceladus, a moon of Saturn only about 500…
