Creating geological maps of planetary surfaces such as Mars is a complex process. From data collection to data analysis to publication in different formats – the production of maps is based on a ...

Researchers examined Neptunian exoplanets -- these planets share similar characteristics to our own Neptune, but orbit outside of our solar system. Scientists discovered a new area called the ...

Exoplanets are planets outside Earth's solar system that most often orbit a star. Astronomers have managed to bring an exoplanet into unprecedented focus by using a technique the researchers call 3D ...

A pair of scorched worlds circling the red dwarf TRAPPIST-1 now offer one of the clearest looks yet at what life may be up ...

This is the craziest proposal for an astrophysics mission that has a chance at happening. This is the craziest proposal for an astrophysics mission that has a good chance of actually happening. A ...

The old adage that it's easier to prove a negative could play a crucial role in characterizing nearby exoplanets that could harbor life. The idea is that looking for earth-like planets is tough enough ...

Astronomers have directly detected and imaged a gas giant orbiting another star by combining different techniques for hunting exoplanets. Researchers first looked at a catalog of star-mapping data ...

(Nanowerk News) Can the mapping of planets become an automated process? Scientists from Constructor University in Bremen, Germany, the University of Padua, and the University of Bologna have now ...
