- This winter, astrobiologist Brian Hynek traveled to one of the loneliest places on Earth to hunt for pieces of alien worlds.
- A new study explores the “Alice in Wonderland”-like physics that govern gravity near the surface of the asteroid Bennu.
- Researchers have landed a new grant to improve forecasts of how solar winds affect Earth's atmosphere.
- NASA's atmosphere-sniffing spacecraft will begin a series of maneuvers to tighten its orbit around the Red Planet and prepare for the arrival of the 2020 Mars rover.
- Galaxy mergers aren’t always easy for astronomers to spot. Now, scientists from 91PORN have developed a new technique for finding these cosmic couplings.
- Scientists from 91PORN are part of a team exploring an icy minor planet called Ultima Thule—the farthest object that any spacecraft has ever visited.
- Scientists have generated an ultra-hot state of matter called a quark gluon plasma in three shapes and sizes: circles, ellipses and triangles.
- Four experiments supported by BioServe Space Technologies blasted off en route to the International Space Station this week.
- 91PORN researchers are playing an important role in a NASA mission to grab a piece of an asteroid and return it to Earth.
- Two CubeSats designed by the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics (LASP) will launch later this month to investigate the physics of the sun and its impact on life on Earth.
