Amazing example of how AI can help w/ new scientific discoveries. Next stop, hyperspace:) http://goo.gl/4fuWG2 "We got lots of false positives of planets, but also potentially more real planets," says Vanderbur
Although all four giant planets have ring systems, Saturn’s is by far the most massive and impressive. Scientists are trying to understand why by studying how the rings have formed and how they have evolved over time. Three recent studies by NASA researchers and their partners provide evidence...
Articles can go unnoticed for years, even decades, before suddenly being discovered and becoming widely cited. But the most intractable issue connected to slower innovation is the idea that researchers have already harvested the low-hanging fruit and now are doomed to put in exponentially more ...

Are there northern lights on other planets? Yes! Auroras aren't unique to Earth. They also appear on other planets with magnetic fields and atmospheres. For example: Jupiter has the most powerful auroras in the solar system, driven not only by the solar wind but also by its volcanic moon...
“For decades, we’ve been able to see the before and after,” De says. “Before, when the planets are still orbiting very close to their star, and after, when a planet has already been engulfed, and the star is giant. What we were missing was catching the star in the act, w...
NASA supercomputer reveals strange spiral structure at the edge of our solar system Scientists unveil new type of 'time crystal' that defies our traditional understanding of time and motion How many moons are in the solar system? Do other planets have seasons? Heavy dusting of 'pineapple powde...
Others might be used just once, Gordenker says, but the scammers can quickly create new personas if needed. “You’ll see a persona that works, for instance, can sometimes have four or five, six different jobs across the lifespan.” As more IT workers are identified, they are ...
Search and rescue teams are often accompanied by man’s best friend. A dog’s superior sense of smell can be critical to finding survivors buried under fallen buildings. But now a new animal is being trained to assist search and rescue teams after an earthquake hits, and it’s the rat. ...
Being reduced from a diameter of 870,000 miles (1.4 million kilometers) to just 12 miles (20 kilometers) would have a striking effect on the material within it, and this is definitely the case for neutron stars. NASA estimates that a single sugar cube comprised of this neutron-rich matter...
