The snapshot above showcases NGC 1514, a planetary nebula that resides roughly 1,500 light-years from Earth in the constellation Taurus.Despite the term, however, NGC 1514 has nothing to do with ...

Deep soils vital for life host an active new microbial phylum, CSP1-3. These microbes may be key to innovative water purification and environmental solutions. Scientists have discovered a new phylum ...

By claiming that Earth is flat, believers are expressing a deeper skepticism about institutions and science itself. So if you find yourself talking to a Flat-Earther, skip the evidence and ...

By examining separate layers of the planet’s atmosphere in 3D, the researchers have revealed an intricate system of jet streams and temperature contrasts. The discovery was made by astronomers at the ...

Stars spend 90 percent of their lives in their main sequence phase. Now around 4.6 billion years old, Earth’s sun is considered an average-size yellow dwarf star, and astronomers predict it will ...

Previous studies that used the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram — a tried-and-true chart that traces a star's age through its luminosity and temperature — placed the star at about 8 billion years old.

Let's say we want to build a model of the sun and Earth alone. Earth has a radius of about 6,371 kilometers (3,959 miles), but let's represent this with a marble 1 centimeter in diameter.
