The Space Debris Sensor (SDS) aboard the International Space Station is allowing scientists to characterize the orbital debris environment

While examining a previously-discovered exoplanet, an international team of astronomers discovered a second Super-Earth around the star.

Of the many methods used to detect extra-solar planets, the most widely-used and effective is the Transit Photometry

Located in the southern constellation of Ophiuchus, approximately 22,200 light-years from Earth, is the global cluster known as Messier 62.

A new survey using the ESO's Very Large Telescope found 72 never-before-seen galaxies in the Hubble Ultra Deep Field data.

According to a new study by members of the Harvard Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, there could be

Using the Juno mission's orbit of Jupiter, a team of scientists has developed a possible explanation for the long-standing "flyby anomaly"

Yeah, we're still all waiting for that next great "Comet of the Century" to make its presence known. In the meantime, we've had a steady stream of good binocular comets over the past year both expected and new, including Comet C/2017 O1 ASASSN1 (name and link), 45/P Honda-Mrkos-Pajdušáková and Comet 41P Tuttle-Giacobini-Kresák (links). Now, another newcomer Comet Heinze is set to bring 2017 in over the finish line.

Dr. Claudius Gros explains the purpose, intent, and technology behind Project Genesis, which seeks to seed "transiently habitable" exoplanets with life to jumpstart the evolutionary process.

A study team led from the University of Hawaii recently studied two inflated gas giants, and revealed a possible explanation as to why they are so "puffy".

A new study from a team of Japanese researchers has shown that matter-antimatter annihilations happen as a result of lightning strikes.

Located in the Virgo cluster, roughly 52.5 million light-years from Earth, is the intermediate spiral galaxy known as Messier 61

A new study by the IceCube collaboration has shown that Earth stops the occasional neutrino, thus confirming a prediction made by the Standard Model.
