Using data from NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory, a team of scientists have discovered a new type of solar phenomenon that could lead to breakthroughs in space weather prediction and fusion technology.

Using data from the GALACICNUCLEUS survey, a team of astronomers has determined that star formation occurred in massive bursts in our galaxy, not continuously over time.

next bright comet? You're not alone. Though we've had a steady string of decent binocular comets over the past few years, we haven't had a good naked eye comet since W3 Lovejoy beat death during its blistering perihelion passage in 2011. But this survivor turned out to be bashful, headed for southern hemisphere skies… Comet P1 McNaught followed suit in 2007, hiding from northern hemisphere observers. And we all remember what happened to Comet S1 ISON—touted as the next great 'Comet of the Century' on Thanksgiving Day 2013. Here it is almost 2020, and you have to go allll the way back nearly a quarter of a century to Comets Hale-Bopp and Hyakutake to remember just how brilliant a good naked eye comet can be.

Using NICER data, two teams of researchers were able to map the surface of a pulsar for the first time in history!

A new study by a team of German physicists and an American biomedical engineer has solved a long-standing problem in how planets form.
