After debates on whether Earth is shrinking or expanding, a NASA scientist reveals that the planet is losing mass and it has something to do with the atmosphere.
A team of scientists wants IAU to reinstate Pluto as a planet and classify moons in the solar system as planets as well using an old definition from the 16th century. How does the IAU respond to this call?
China plans to launch the biggest space craft in the human history. Call for proposals are now at hand, and development for the rockets is now in place to fulfill the country's trip around the solar system.
Scientists analyzed meteorites that traveled from Mars and landed on Earth and came up with a new theory of how the two planets formed, contradicting an existing theory of their origins.
This year's brightest comet has been a bit tricky to spot using the human eye down on this planet, although the Solar Orbiter spacecraft of the European Space Agency and NASA got the perfect view.
Scientists recently published a study describing why the International Astronomical Union should rescind their controversial 2006 decision of demoting Pluto to a dwarf planet and change their definition for full-bodied planets.
Researchers found that too much or too little iron will not allow life to thrive on Earth or on other planets. They have uncovered the mechanism of how it influenced the development of life forms.
A team of astrophysicists said that neutral hydrogen plays a key role in shaping the heliosphere, the protective bubble surrounding the Solar System that shelters Earth from cosmic forces.
Sir Arthur Clarke said the Fermi paradox is an occurrence where either humans are alone in the universe, "or we are not" and both ideas "are equally terrifying."
New research recently showed that a giant comet known as Comet Bernadinelli-Bernstein or Comet BB turned active much farther from the sun than expected.
One of Juno mission's recent accomplishments is measuring the Great Red Spot's gravity, which complements an earlier study that measured its depth. But observations on this storm suggest that it might be shrinking.
A partial lunar eclipse, sunset planets, and the winter stars' return are just among the highlights of November in the solar system, according to NASA.
