Using computer simulations, the researchers uncovered a scenario in which an ancient asteroid impact briefly amplified that field, just long enough for nearby rocks to capture and record its magnetic ...

The "Mother of Collaboration" project at the Good Ship Dodo pairs children and parents to create improvisational artwork.

Scientists may have solved the mystery of why the moon shows ancient signs of magnetism although it has no magnetic field today. An impact, such as from a large asteroid, could have generated a cloud ...

Over at the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center in the Shanxi Province, a CZ-6A launched Yaogan 40 Group 02 into polar orbit on ...

While the moon once had a weak magnetic field generated by a small molten core, the team's research suggests it likely wouldn ...

A combination of a dynamo-generated magnetic field and massive impacts could explain the highly magnetized rocks in some ...

The Kinetica-1 rocket launched Wednesday for the first time since a failure doomed its previous attempt to reach orbit in ...

An asteroid strike 66 million years ago caused millions of species to go extinct—including many mollusks. By studying the ...

Can Mars become a second Earth? Explore the science, challenges, and future of terraforming Mars for human colonization.

One of the asteroids will come as close as within 120,000 miles from the Earth, soaring past at over 41,000 miles per hour.

JF flew about 199,000 miles (320,000 km) away from Earth. It's estimated size is about 34 feet wide (10 meters), roughly the ...

Two new studies used gravity data to pull back the curtain on the deep interiors of the Moon and one of the solar system’s largest asteroids.
