The famous red eye of the storm squeezes in and out for reasons unknown.
The event could cause glowing in the atmosphere and damage electrical infrastructure when it arrives, but we won't know the severity of the event until it's near.
The gargantuan object is driving a "cosmic two-for-one" that could shed light on the source of a weird kind of X-ray.
Mars is generally regarded as a place that can't support life, but new research sheds light on how the Red Planet evolved into the barren, inhospitable world we see today.
We've seen faces on Mars before, but this one is the most relatable.
Centaur 29P, an icy object in the outer solar system, is spewing unusual jets of hot gas, revealing its hybrid nature as a mashup of different cosmic bodies.
The storm should arrive today or tomorrow, and could bring with it some brilliant auroras.
The newly identified three-body system has a problem, and it’s not aliens—it’s that in about 20 million years, the stars are expected to merge and explode.
A gravitational lens tripled the event in the night sky and helped astronomers measure the rate at which the universe is expanding.
While the storm could pose a threat to fragile electric systems, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration says the danger is minor.
The yet-to-be-named comet will make its closest approach to the Sun on October 28, and it could either burn up into oblivion or put on a fantastic show.
The upcoming annular eclipse will block out only a small portion of the Sun, and almost no one will be able to see it.
There's an exoplanet whipping around Barnard's star, and there may be up to three others yet to be detected.
A distant star system offers hope that our planet will keep spinning, even after the Sun expands into a red giant.
The jets of material that spew from black holes catalyze stellar eruptions, surprising astronomers and raising questions about the jets' role in the universe.
The potentially hazardous asteroid might be two space rocks fused together.
Nuclear devices generate massive amounts of X-rays. A new experiment suggests that might be enough to divert a killer asteroid.
The discovery potentially sheds light on the origin of bubbles of hot gas found below the galactic plane.
A new paper explores the idea of asteroid-sized objects that may be causing gravitational ripples in our cosmic neighborhood.
It's unlike anything ever seen on the Red Planet, but NASA hopes to find more like it as the Perseverance rover continues its climb up Jezero Crater.
