The binary system, named GJ 896AB, consists of two red dwarf stars that orbit each other They complete one orbit in 229 years The study will provide an answer to how planets are formed Astronomers ...

NASA has released new blueprints for spacecraft, as well as planets and asteroids. These are not plans showing how to construct your own Mars rover. Instead, they allow users a chance to print models, ...

When Google announced a ton of new 3D animals, planets, objects and more coming to Search at I/O 2019, little did we know just how useful they would become due to a global pandemic. Thanks to the fact ...

Would you like to create a perfect replica of the Cassini spacecraft? The Itokawa asteroid? The Gale Crater on Mars? The near and far sides of the lunar surface? If you are among the growing number of ...

NASA has released 21 files that can be used by 3D printers to create models of satellites, probes, planetary formations — even asteroids. The files, which come in the STL (stereolithography) format, ...

Gas-rich planets such as Jupiter and Saturn grew from a disk of dust and gas which eventually crumpled like a piece of paper under its own gravitational instability -- or so one theory goes. Now a ...

Ever wish you could visit other planets in our solar system without launching on a deep-space mission? Now you can embark on an interplanetary adventure right from the palm of your hand, thanks to ...

The most common stars in our galaxy are dwarfs—smaller, reddish stars that emit far less light than our Sun. Because of this reduced output, the habitable zones of these stars are quite close-in. This ...

A three-dimensional climate model indicates that the fraction of Sun-like stars that might harbour a rocky planet within their habitable zone could be smaller than previously estimated. See Letter ...
