For only the third time in history, astronomers have detected a new interstellar visitor — an object from another star — blitzing into our solar system.

UF engineers, backed by DARPA and NASA, are perfecting laser-forming techniques that let metal sheets fold themselves into giant solar arrays, antennas, and even space-station parts right in ...

Algae grown under Mars-like conditions could make bioplastic building materials for structures to harbor life in space.

Scientists have proposed two experimental spacecraft that could reach one of the farthest known objects in the solar system in as little as seven years. The team of researchers, from Italy, ...

Unless society stops pumping more greenhouse gases in the air, “we can expect multiple factors to worsen summer extremes,” Francis said. “Heat waves will last longer, grow larger and get hotter.

For the study, the researchers used computer models to examine how the final 1 percent of a planet’s formation could play an enormous role in determining if a terrestrial planet could host life as we ...

Impact craters play a crucial role in planetary science, as they serve as windows into the geological evolution of planetary surfaces and are key considerations in selecting landing sites. However, ...

Planetary waves are connected to 2021's deadly and unprecedented Pacific Northwest heat wave, the 2010 Russian heat wave and Pakistan flooding, and the 2003 killer European heat wave, the study said.

In the 1950s, Earth averaged about one extreme weather-inducing planetary wave event a summer. Now, it is getting about three per summer, according to a study in Monday's Proceedings of the National ...

WASHINGTON (AP) — Climate change has tripled the frequency of atmospheric wave events linked to extreme summer weather in the last 75 years and that may explain why long-range computer forecasts keep ...
