Learn how ALMA observations revealed unusually high levels of methanol in interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS and what the molecule’s chemistry may reveal about how icy bodies form around other stars.

A small, round piece of asteroid Ryugu (sample #91), called “S-lunar,” contains tiny particles (less than 1 mm) that will allow planetary scientists to study the magnetic signature of the early solar ...

Scientists detect alcohol on interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS. The strange discovery could reveal secrets about alien solar systems and cosmic chemistry.

Ever wondered how those weird, floating \"snowmen\" way out in the deep freeze of the Kuiper Belt beyond Neptune's orbit ...

Researchers analyzed 28 Ryugu asteroid samples and found preserved magnetic signals that record early solar system magnetic fields and water-driven alteration on its parent body.

The researchers who scan the skies for radio signals from extraterrestrials are now rethinking their approach.

It provides a dynamic, time-resolved view of planetary transformation, a missing link between young inflated worlds and the compact sub-Neptunes that populate the galaxy.

Radio silence has long puzzled those searching for extraterrestrial intelligence, but the answer might lie much closer to the source of potential signals than previously thought. Conditions around ...

A new cloud seeding project in Grand County is testing a very different approach — one that uses electricity instead of chemicals.

Astronomers produced the most complete map of the center of the Milky Way, which can provide insight into how stars and ...

Sandra Hüller also stars in Phil Lord and Christopher Miller’s sci-fi epic based on the Andy Weir novel about a science teacher who finds an unusual ally in a mission to save two worlds.

Astronomers studying a rare interstellar comet have discovered something surprising: it contains unusually large amounts of methanol, a type of alcohol. The discovery offers a fascinating glimpse into ...
