Dawn, which launched back in 2007, has finally traveled close to Ceres in last few months. In that time, instruments on the spacecraft snapped pretty amazing pictures of the dwarf planet. This, for ...

Hubble Space Telescope observations of white dwarf star G238-44 has shown that it is "consuming both rocky-metallic and icy material, the ingredients of planets," according to NASA's Goddard Space ...

New research has found that the dwarf planet Ceres may be a geologically active body with ice volcanoes and an ancient ocean. Located in between Mars and Jupiter, Ceres is the largest object in the ...

New research based on data from NASA’s Dawn mission suggests the dwarf planet Ceres may have once possessed a deep, long-lasting energy source capable of sustaining habitable conditions in its ancient ...

Hubble has captured a dense, burned-out star in the act of consuming a Pluto-like object. Happening some 260 light years from Earth, the new observation, published in the Monthly Notices of the Royal ...

NASA has finally peered into the heart of a white dwarf system in a way astronomers have been chasing for decades, turning a once-theoretical picture of stellar cannibalism into a mapped, measurable ...

"It shows that Makemake is not an inactive remnant of the outer solar system, but a dynamic body where methane ice is still evolving." When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has infrared vision that lets us peer through the dusty veil of nearby star-forming region NGC 1333. We can see planetary mass objects, newborn stars, and brown ...
