Solar system 'not so special as thought'
Our solar system didn't, as previously thought, take twice as long as most to form, new research shows. read more
The multi-color stars of globular cluster NGC 6362
NASA's Hubble Space Telescope recently captured an impressive view of the center of globular cluster NGC 6362. read more
Fermi spots the shadows of the very first stars
Astronomers have measured the light from the very earliest stars, working out for the first time the total amount of light from all the stars that have ever shone. read more
Vesta shows new type of weathering
The highly-patterned surface of the giant asteroid Vesta is caused by a long history of strikes from hundreds of other, smaller asteroids. read more
Martian soil is similar to Hawaii's
NASA's Curiosity rover has finished its first set of tests on the soil sample it scooped up earlier this month and discovered it's a lot like the volcanic soils of Hawaii. read more
SpaceX completes first commercial cargo mission
The SpaceX Dragon cargo craft has made it safely back to Earth, completing the first ever commercial cargo mission to the International Space Station. read more
The violent star formation of dwarf galaxies
NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has managed to capture an image of the faint irregular galaxy NGC 3738, which astronomers describe as a starburst galaxy. ?? read more
Mega-storm churns up Saturn
NASA's Cassini spacecraft has been watching the aftermath of the largest and hottest stratospheric vortex ever detected in our solar system. read more
New explanation for universe's infrared glow
Dark matter halos — the huge, invisible cocoons of mass that envelop entire galaxies and account for most of the matter in the universe — may not be so dark after all. read more
Galactic black hole emits massive flare
NASA's Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array (NuSTAR) has taken its first look at the giant black hole at the center of our galaxy - and caught it right in the middle of a flare-up. read more
New crew members head to International Space Station
Three new crew members have set sail to join their Expedition 33 crewmates onboard the International Space Station (ISS). ?? read more
Black hole jet erupts at near light speed
Astronomers have snapped a supersonic jet of material blasting over two million light years from the centre of a distant galaxy. read more
What if Mars astronauts get sick?
A spacecraft really wouldn't be a great place to suffer from, say, salmonella poisoning - but new research indicates that microgravity and prolonged space flight could give unique advantages to germs. read more
The bizarre weather of Uranus
NASA’s Voyager probe swept past Uranus in 1986, but yielded few new details of the planet and its atmosphere. ?? read more
Were Saturn's moons produced during multiple impacts?
Two professors say that the unusual moons of Saturn could be explained by several large impacts in which several major satellites merged to form Titan. read more
Jupiter's Trojan asteroids show their true colors
NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer, WISE, has uncovered new clues about the Jovian Trojans - asteroids that orbit the sun on the same path as Jupiter in two 'packs'. read more
Citizen scientists find planet with four suns
Two amateur astronomers have discovered the first example of a planet orbiting twin suns that is itself orbited by a second distant pair of stars. read more
Baumgartner breaks speed of sound in freefall
Felix Baumgartner successfully completed his record-breaking jump from the edge of space yesterday, becoming the first man to break the speed of sound in freefall. read more
Solar wind brought water to the moon
The water found locked inside soil on the moon's surface derives from hydrogen in the solar wind - meaning there could be water on other apparently-dry bodies in the solar system too. read more
Stellar-mass black hole stalks the Milky Way
NASA's Swift satellite recently detected a rising tide of high-energy X-rays from a source toward the center of our Milky Way galaxy. read more
