Scientists used data from NASA's Perseverance rover to find tiny lightning bolts on Mars that could scour biosignatures off the world's surface

A newly discovered tectonic "regime" may explain why Earth has active plates while Venus remains stagnant.

Using the James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers have discovered puzzling ultraviolet radiation around young stars in a stellar nursery.

Scientists may have "heard" the first tantalizing evidence of primordial black holes formed directly from overly dense pockets of matter just after the Big Bang.

NASA's OSIRIS-APEX spacecraft captured stunning new images as it whipped past Earth during a high-speed slingshot maneuver, sending the probe on a fast track toward the asteroid Apophis.

The term cosmovision refers to a conception of the universe in totality.

"In order to get such high sensitivity in the mid-infrared, one needs to go to space, as the atmosphere severely messes up ground-based observations at this wavelength."

"This is a snapshot of where we are very early in the scientific process."
