Earlier research had found that the rings of Saturn respond to vibrations within the planet. Saturn's interior vibrates at frequencies that cause slight variations in its gravitational field, and the ...

Astronomers are reporting the detection of a large object entering our solar system, and it is causing quite the stir in the ...

Stars often whip their planets with solar winds and radiation, pull them ever closer with gravity and sear them with heat.

The clingy planet orbits so close to its star, it triggers powerful explosions of radiation that eat away at its atmosphere.

Because it shrinks when other materials expand, Allvar Alloy 30 can be used to strategically compensate for the expansion and contraction of other materials. The alloy’s unique NTE property and lack ...
