On a frigid orbit beyond Neptune, some of the solar system’s smallest worlds project a strange silhouette. Two rounded lobes, pressed together with a narrow “neck,” like a snowman that never melted.

For decades, theoretical physics has struggled to reconcile General Relativity with Quantum Mechanics. The primary obstacle is the assumption that spacetime is a smooth, continuous fabric, which leads ...

Results from both model simulations suggest that an AMOC collapse would redistribute carbon throughout the oceans, as well as in the atmosphere and on land. In the first study, for the first several ...

Researchers simulated how gravitational collapse forms two-lobed contact binaries in the Kuiper Belt without destructive ...

Astronomers have long debated why so many icy objects in the outer solar system look like snowmen. Michigan State University ...

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) was designed to look back in time and study galaxies that existed shortly after the Big Bang. In so doing, scientists hoped to gain a better understanding of how ...
