Comet 3I/ATLAS was first detected on July 1, 2025 by the Asteroid Terrestrial-Impact Last Alert System (ATLAS). As it approached the Sun, it displayed a subtle non-gravitational acceleration, ...

Atlas fuels debate as NASA delays new images. See what data exist, why releases lag, what scientists say, and what to watch next.

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope produced the first 3D atmospheric map of exoplanet WASP-18b, an ultra-hot Jupiter 400 light-years away.

On their way into space, astronauts' bodies deteriorate dramatically in zero gravity. To address this problem and protect our pioneers in space, researchers are looking for realistic test models. This ...

A team of astronomers used the James Webb Space Telescope to create the first 3D atmospheric map of an exoplanet. The fiery WASP-18b, a massive “ultra-hot Jupiter,” revealed striking temperature ...

The gas giant WASP-18b belongs to a class known as ultra-hot Jupiters — giant, searing, gaseous planets that orbit perilously close to their stars. Researchers used a new technique called ...

Children peered through telescopes, made models with 3D pens, and chatted with an astronaut Wednesday night at a Space ...

A distant gas giant the size of 10 Jupiters is now the first planet outside Earth's solar system to be mapped in three ...

Astronomers have created the first three-dimensional (3D) map of a planet orbiting another star, revealing an atmosphere with distinct temperature zones – one so scorching that it breaks down water ...
