* China launched its first asteroid sample-return mission, Tianwen-2, in the early hours of Thursday, an endeavour to shed light on the formation and evolution of asteroids and the early solar system.

How Earth’s core is seen as a hidden reservoir For decades, scientists have known that the overwhelming majority of Earth’s gold — along with elements like platinum, palladium, rhodium and ruthenium — ...

Astronomers saw a space collision that not only triggered a quasar to light up but showed it halting star formation in another galaxy.

The moon's near side, the side visible to Earth, is dark and covered in the remnants of ancient lava flows. Its far side, which we can't see from Earth, is rugged and rocky.

Just as the moon can dictate tides on Earth, the Earth exerts a gravitational pull on the moon. They used data on the motion of the GRAIL mission’s Ebb and Flow spacecraft; it orbited the moon ...

While on the outside, the bone appears similar to echidna bones, the internal structure of the bone was more like that of the platypus. The bone had thick walls and a narrower bone marrow cavity.
