White dwarf stars could host habitable planets. Fast planetary rotation reduces cloud cover, keeping surface temperatures stable.

With an equatorial diameter of 7926 miles (12,760 kilometers), our planet Earth is the biggest of the terrestrial planets and ...

The gas giant WASP 121b, also known as Tylos, has an atmospheric structure unlike any we have ever seen, and the fastest ...

Not only is Earth’s inner core spinning and growing, but it’s also changing shape, according to new research. Our planet’s [… ...

Around a star 880 light-years from Earth orbits one of the wildest, most extreme exoplanets we've found to date.

Various incredible natural phenomena exist across Earth's surface. Rare and unexpected natural wonders occasionally become ...

NASA have confirmed that the odds of the 'city killer' asteroid 2024 YR4 hitting Earth have increased once again.

YR4's odds jumped to a 1-in-32 chance of impact, though that number will likely fall as the asteroid continues to be monitored.

After the space rock first flew into view of NASA's Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System (ATLAS) in December 2024, ...

Scientists have long overlooked white dwarfs as hosts for habitable exoplanets, assuming their lack of fusion would make life impossible. But new climate models challenge that idea, showing that ...

New research suggests that Earth's inner core may not be as solid as previously believed. Scientists studying seismic waveforms have discovered structural changes in the core, which challenge ...

The space telescope Gaia has created the largest three-dimensional map of the Milky Way ever. On January 15, 2025, Gaia shut ...
