The last supermoon of the year will rise on Thursday (Aug. 11), and you can watch it online in the early hours of Friday morning (Aug. 12) as it shines above Rome's historic skyline. Advertisement. Skip advert. Weather permitting, the Virtual Telescope ...
The resulting clash of solar and terrestrial particles in Earth's atmosphere caused stunning auroras to appear at much lower latitudes than usual — and, in southern Canada, triggered a surprise cameo from the mysterious sky phenomenon known as STEVE.
The peak of the annual Perseid meteor shower shares the sky with August's full moon this week, meaning it will be difficult to view the iconic shooting stars. The Perseid meteor shower (also known as the Perseids) is one of the strongest meteor showers ...
Astronomers at the Gemini North telescope in Hawai'i have released a stunning image that shows two spiral galaxies in the process of colliding and merging. The clashing galaxies NGC 4568 and NGC 4567 — also known as the Butterfly galaxies due to the ...
Live coverage of the countdown and launch of a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Launch Complex 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The Starlink 4-26 mission will launch SpaceX's next batch of 53 Starlink broadband satellites.
But there is some hope for people looking for a decent sky show. Although the moon's bright light will make it tough for stargazers to see most of the meteors, “some shooting stars should still be bright enough to spot,” according to AccuWeather's ...
Dr Pascal Elahi, Pawsey's supercomputing applications specialist, said deploying this first phase of Setonix has increased the computing power of the Pawsey Centre by 45 per cent. “Processing data from ASKAP's astronomy surveys is a ...
A politician who helped save the Hubble Space Telescope has now donated the souvenirs she saved from the space program to the institute that operates the astronomical observatory. Retired Sen. Barbara Mikulski (D-Maryland), who served longer than any ...
The Met Office says temperatures will be below July's record highs - but this heatwave will last longer.
NASA is looking for some shows of lunar enthusiasm in the leadup to the launch of its epic Artemis 1 mission. Advertisement. Skip advert. The agency is asking people to share their "moon snaps" to celebrate Artemis 1, which is scheduled to launch on an ...

SpaceX continues to launch Falcon 9 rockets from Launch Complex 39A in Florida as construction work advances on the nearby tower for the company's next-generation Starship rocket. Overnight Tuesday, SpaceX rolled another Falcon 9 to pad 39A for liftoff ...
"Perseids are one of the most plentiful showers (50-100 meteors seen per hour)," according to NASA, and the bright moon could lessen their visibility.
These animals were early tetrapods, a lineage that would radiate to include many thousands of species including amphibians, birds, lizards and mammals. Human beings are descendants of those early tetrapods, and we share the legacy of their water-to-land ...
Then a mere scientist pulled it off. Otto von Guericke invented a pump to suck the air from within a hollow copper sphere, establishing perhaps the first high-quality vacuum on Earth. In a theatrical demonstration ...
Ultrafast quantum computing that relies on lasers to manipulate cold atoms trapped with optical tweezers is expected to support a quantum computer architecture that breaks through the limitations of the superconducting and trapped-ion types currently in ...
New research finds that climate-warming trends over the last century have reversed 900 years of cooling in the Gulf of Maine. The study was led by the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, co-authored by the University of Maine and funded by the ...
