NASA’s Double Asteroid Redirection Test did not simply knock a small space rock off course. The 2022 kinetic impact reshaped ...

Gravity may seem constant, but it actually varies across the planet—and one of the strangest places is Antarctica, where ...

A remarkably hardy bacterium can survive pressures similar to those generated when asteroid impacts blast debris off Mars, a ...

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 have analyzed more than 40 years of astronomical data to uncover evidence that the sun's internal structure subtly ...

Astro Brief is a collaboration between KSMU, the Missouri Space Grant, and MSU's Department of Physics, Astronomy and ...

Understanding inner core oscillations is key to grasping Earth's rotation variations and magnetic field changes, linking deep processes to surface effects.

Scientists at Stanford have unveiled the first-ever global map of rare earthquakes that rumble deep within Earth’s mantle rather than its crust. Long debated and notoriously difficult to confirm, ...

Scientists studying Greenland have uncovered surprising heat variations deep beneath the ice that could reshape experts' understanding of future sea-level rise. The discovery, made using advanced 3D ...

A new study led by researchers at the University of Ottawa provides a series of highly detailed 3D models of the Earth's temperature beneath Greenland and northeastern Canada, providing insights into ...
