"The three newly discovered moons are the faintest ever found around these two ice giant planets using ground-based telescopes," explained Scott Sheppard, a member of the Carnegie Institution for Science, Earth and Planets Laboratory. "It took special image processing to reveal such faint objects....
Planet Palooza! When 5 planets will be visible in the night sky The asteroid, which was first observed on Jan. 14, will pass between the Earth and the Moon’s orbit. It is considered to be an Apollo-class asteroid, meaning its diameter is less than 10 kilometers in size. These asteroi...
Both the transit and direct imaging methods have been used to find planets outside of our solar system, though many more have been discovered via the former, thanks to NASA's exoplanet-hunting Kepler Space Telescope. NASA'sJames Webb Space Telescope, expected to launch in 2018, will carry ...
Before their findings, researchers labeled this species of dogfish shark Squalus mitsukurii. However, using new genetic testing and morphology, the study of an organism through physical appearance, they discovered and classified Genie's Dogfish as a new species. "Deep-sea sharks are all shaped by ...
The fossilized meteorite was discovered in a limestone quarry in Sweden.This new meteorite, named Öst 65, could help scientists learn more about the history of the solar system, including any small perturbations in the orbits of planets around the sun, according to a new study in the ...
Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have discovered a cytoskeleton which provides the structure for mitochondria, the cell's energy producers. The skeleton is necessary for the function of the mitochondria, but the researchers also found that cancer cells utilise the skeleton to maintain their ce...
