"We're puzzled as to how they could be formed, how stable the configuration is, and why Jupiter's north pole doesn't look like the south pole," said Scott Bolton, Juno principal investigator from the Southwest Research Institute in San Antonio.

NASA space scientists, trying hard to understand the Sun's electromagnetic field that is crucial for future deep space travel, have released a first-ever video model of the Sun showing how its magnetic field behaves.

Make sure to look up to the skies this Christmas as a bright full moon will be an added gift for the holidays, NASA said.

Astronomers have studied the atmospheres of ten hot, Jupiter-sized exoplanets in detail and solved a long-standing mystery - why some of these worlds seem to have less water than expected.

On December 1-2 flood-ravaged Chennai received more rainfall in 24 hours than it had seen on any day since 1901, according to NASA.

An increase in Antarctic snow accumulation that began 10,000 years ago is currently adding enough ice to the continent to outweigh the increased losses from its thinning glaciers.

In a first, a team including an Indian-origin astronomer has found evidence for a new intermediate-mass black hole about 5,000 times the mass of the Sun.

Tides flowing in a subsurface ocean of molten rock, or magma, could explain why Jupiter's moon Io appears to have its volcanoes in the 'wrong' place and could also have implications for the search for alien life, a NASA study has found.

Plants within urban areas - along roads, in parks, and in wooded neighbourhoods - can regulate the urban heating effect which can raise the temperature of cities compared to neighbouring rural and semi-rural areas, according to a new NASA study.

NASA's Lunar Atmosphere and Dust Environment Explorer (LADEE) spacecraft has confirmed for the first time the existence of neon gas in moon's atmosphere.

In what could reveal the composition of a planet and how it formed, a team including an Indian-origin researcher has detected a stratosphere, one of the primary layers of Earth's atmosphere, on a massive and blazing-hot exoplanet.

Growing demands on the world's natural resources and extreme economic imbalances could spell a premature end for modern human civilisation, an alarming research partially funded by NASA's Goddard Space Flight Centre has revealed.

In a latest bid to unravel the mysterious origin of life, a team of researchers has invented an advanced technology to inspect extremely small meteorite samples for the components of life.

NASA television is reporting that a rocket that blasted off carrying an Earth-observation satellite doesn't have the velocity to reach orbit.Officials at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California say the Taurus XL rocket carrying NASA's Glory satellite lifted off about 2.10 am on Friday from the base.But NASA launch commentator George Dillar said 15 ...
