Researchers at McGill University and collaborating institutions have mapped the atmospheric features of a planetary-mass brown dwarf, a type of space object that is neither a star nor a planet, ...

Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have detected phosphine gas in the ancient brown dwarf Wolf 1130C, a discovery that contradicts years of predictions about how phosphorus behaves in ...

Astronomers have discovered phosphine gas in the atmosphere of an ancient brown dwarf, Wolf 1130C, using the James Webb Space Telescope. The finding is puzzling because phosphine, a potential ...

The atmosphere of planets across the system and beyond was known to have some elements in abundance and some in scarcity. A team of researchers detected phosphine in the atmosphere of an ancient, cool ...

This engine won't be fueling interstellar missions, but still finds an unexpected way to use deep space energy to generate power. Reading time 3 minutes Deep space may provide hidden sources of energy ...

Some white dwarfs in rapid binary orbits are far hotter and larger than theory predicts. Researchers found that powerful tidal forces between them generate enough heat to inflate their sizes and ...

Previous claims of exomoon discoveries haven’t stood up well to replication, but perhaps a new method will have more success.

The Earth is much larger than most people realize. You need to use engines if you want to efficiently navigate large sections of the planet. Everything from cars to planes relies on engines, but they ...
