Ocean microbes keep the planet healthy by cycling nutrients and capturing carbon, but a detailed and precise map of where ...

A decade of observations of four planets around the young planetary system V1298 Tau revealed a rare, long-sought missing link in planet formation.

In a landmark study published in Science, researchers have unveiled a high-resolution map of the Antarctic bed. This study ...

The map shows diverse geological features shaping Antarctic glaciers from below, which can improve climate models of ice melt ...

Sometimes to truly study something up close, you have to take a step back. That's what Andrea Donnellan does. An expert in Earth sciences and seismology, she gets much of her data from a bird's-eye ...

Not all planets are small compared to stars. Some grow so massive they approach stellar size, challenging how astronomers classify objects in space. These extreme worlds blur the boundary between ...

The star system V1298 Tau reveals that many planets begin as large, low-density worlds that slowly shrink and shed their atmospheres, ...

Most of the exoplanets we’ve discovered have been in relatively tight orbits around their host stars, allowing us to track them as they repeatedly loop around them. But we’ve also discovered a handful ...

What lies beneath Antarctica’s immense and impenetrable ice sheet? Until now, we didn’t fully ...

A research team led by Profs. Li Jing and Liu Qinhuo from the Aerospace Information Research Institute of the Chinese Academy ...

In space, no one can hear you scream. But just because sound can’t travel in the vacuum of space doesn’t mean that the planets and our Sun don’t make noise. What would they sound like if you could ...
