Milky Way map shows complex outer galaxy

The Milky Way is encircled by streams of stars in shapes resembling a “jumble of pasta” according to scientists examining data from the biggest survey ever made of our galaxy.

Dark energy and a monster galactic cluster

An orbiting telescope has spotted a massive cluster of galaxies in deep space that helps to confirm theories about dark energy.

Supermassive black holes pack a punch when they collide

The gravitational waves created when supermassive black holes plunge together can kick one right out of the centre of its galaxy, says a Japanese study.

Dark energy spacecraft could fly faster than light

A futuristic engine that uses dark energy to propel a spaceship faster than light is theoretically possible, and could revolutionise space travel, U.S. scientists say.

Supervoids and clusters reveal dark energy

Astronomers say they have detected the clearest evidence yet for the mysterious dark energy that stretches and flattens out the universe.

Antimatter bouncier than thought

Beams of antimatter fired into an aluminium tube have revealed that antimatter bounces much more than we thought, with implications for our understanding of its balance with matter in the universe.

Phoenix samples water at Mars pole

NASA's Phoenix lander has confirmed that there is water at the Red Planet's north pole following the analysis of a Martian surface soil sample.

Hydrocarbon lake finally confirmed on Titan

Astronomers have concluded that at least one of the large lakes observed on Saturn's moon Titan contains liquid ethane. This makes it the only body in the Solar System beyond Earth known to have liquid on its surface.

Meteor craters may hold untapped wealth

Meteorite impacts not only alter life on Earth, they alter the rocks in ways that can create valuable mining resources. Finding them could speed up the process of locating mineral wealth, says an Australian expert.

Mars baked from different ingredients to Earth

Mars grew out of gas and dust of a very different composition to Earth, says a new study. The research is another piece in the puzzle towards understanding how the planets formed from the disc of matter that was the early Solar System.

Water on the Moon? New find boosts hopes

The ancient astronomers once deemed the Moon to be awash with water and gave fanciful names to its "seas." The space age proved this idea wrong, but experts now say there may be water on the Moon after all.

100 years on, mystery shrouds Tunguska impact

A hundred years ago last week, a gigantic explosion ripped open the dawn sky above the swampy taiga forest of western Siberia, leaving a scientific riddle that endures to this day.

Mercury shaped by titanic vulcanism

Volcanic activity played a key role in shaping the planet Mercury's crater-riddled surface, and not asteroid impacts as previously thought.

Our Solar System is egg-shaped

Millions of textbooks depicting our Solar System as spherical have got it all wrong, according to studies of data sent back from deep space by NASA's probe, Voyager 2.

Fossils of early Earth life may be on the Moon

Evidence of the earliest forms of life on Earth may actually be scattered across the lunar landscape as meteorites, British scientists believe.

Giant impact explains Martian mystery

For nearly 30 years, space scientists have wrestled with one of the greatest enigmas in the Solar System: why does Mars have two faces?

Clutch of super-Earths discovered

Five 'super-Earths', each of them many times bigger than our planet, have been discovered in a trio of distant solar systems, European scientists say.

Alien origin for life on Earth

Genetic material from outer space found in a meteorite in Australia may well have played a key role in the origin of life on Earth, according to a new international study.

After shakin', Phoenix ready to bake

Scientists were all smiles last night after samples of Martian arctic soil finally dropped into the Phoenix lander's oven instrument, putting the search for signs of past life on Mars back on track.

A new look at exotic cosmology phenomena

A high-tech telescope NASA plans to launch tonight will fling open a new window on the universe, exploring extreme sources of gamma-rays that point to powerful and exotic phenomena.

Phoenix to delve into Martian soil

NASA probe Phoenix is ready to dig its backhoe-like arm into the Martian arctic soil for samples that may hold signs of water and organic molecules indicative of life.

What's slowing the Crab Pulsar?

Like a celestial spinning top, the neutron star known as the Crab Pulsar is slowing. Mysterious gravitational waves had been been fingered as the cause, but a new study reasons that they can't be to blame.

Strange ring envelops highly magnetic star

Astrophysicists have found a strange ring surrounding a highly magnetised star left in the wake of a supernova. The discovery offers a rare glimpse into the formation of these unusual stars.

Phoenix flexes robotic arm

NASA's Phoenix Mars lander flexed its robotic arm Thursday in a successful test of the key element in the probe's mission to search for life.

Radio glitch hinders Mars lander mission

A communications glitch between the Phoenix Mars probe and Earth has delayed operations, two days after the spacecraft landed on on the Red Planet in search of conditions to support life.
