What processes other than water and energy could be responsible for creating life on other worlds? This is what a recent study published in the International Journal of Astrobiology hopes to address ...

Cosmic rays, consisting predominantly of high-energy protons and nuclei originating from distant astrophysical sources, interact continuously with the solar wind and the heliospheric magnetic fields.

At times, the sun ejects energetic material into space, which can have consequences for space-based and even ground-based electronic technology. Researchers aim to understand this phenomenon and find ...

There have been plenty of attempts to resolve the "Hubble Tension" in cosmology. This feature describes how one of the most important variables in cosmology, the expansion of the universe, takes on ...

A complete survey of all the particle and antiparticle activity that goes on during the Sun’s 11-year cycle has found previously unknown ways these particles behave. Cosmic rays coming from outside ...

CINCINNATI (WKRC) - Astronomers have made a groundbreaking discovery, revealing the existence of "cosmic tunnels" that connect our solar system to other stars. Using data from the eRosita X-ray ...

The study of cosmic rays and heliospheric physics bridges our understanding of high‐energy particles from distant astrophysical sources and the dynamic environment shaped by the solar wind and ...

Astronomers have captured the first detailed views of a young sun-like star blowing massive bubbles, offering a rare glimpse ...

Planetary systems such as our solar system take hundreds of millions of years to evolve. Since humanity has only existed for a sliver of that time, astronomers have only observed planetary systems at ...

“Comet 3I/ATLAS was full-on erupting into space in December 2025, after its close flyby of the Sun, causing it to significantly brighten,” said Johns Hopkins astronomer Carey Lisse, lead author of a ...
