Using data acquired by the JWST, an international team of planetary scientists have revealed new insights about some of the most distant bodies in our Solar System.

NASA's Psyche mission just launched on a six year journey to explore a metal world in the Asteroid Belt.

The search for dark matter continues, with astronomers developing new hypotheses to search for this invisible gravitational influence on the Universe. One proposed dark matter particle candidate is the axion, which physicists have searched for since the 1970s. One characteristic of axions is that they should convert into light in a strong electromagnetic field. According to a new paper, they should create a faint glow around pulsars, generating intense magnetic fields.

A new study considers all the challenges, benefits, and necessary steps for settling Mars.

Using spectra obtained by Webb, an international team examined three TRAPPIST-1 exoplanets during a series of flares.

Astronomers using JWST were surprised to find mature-looking galaxies in the early Universe; they challenged existing models of cosmology. Astronomers wanted to see if these were ubiquitous, so they examined 19 galaxies in a different part of the sky. They measured high-redshift galaxies but did not find the same unusual mass distribution. This led them to suggest that those initial discoveries were outliers and not indicative of the early Universe.
