NASA’s Hubble and New Horizons Collaborate for Uranus Observation, Shedding Light on Exoplanet Imaging
NASA's Hubble Space Telescope and the New Horizons spacecraft teamed up for a unique dual observation of Uranus, providing valuable insights into planetary atmospheres. Hubble captured high-resolution images, revealing atmospheric features, while New Horizons, 6.5 billion miles away, saw the planet as a small dot. This combined data helps researche...

Scientists Zoom In On Fast Radio Bursts, The Most Mysterious Signals In Space
Nobody knows what causes fast radio bursts - brief, bizarre radio wave beams that emit more energy in a fraction of a millisecond than the sun does all day. But scientists just got closer than ever before to the source of one of these enigmatic signals.

Eight New Planets Found in Possible Life-Bearing Zones
Eight new planets have been found orbiting their stars in the so-called "Goldilocks zone," neither too hot nor too cold for water and possibly life to exist, astronomers said on Tuesday.
