Jan 20, 2025 · The near-Earth asteroid 2024 PT5 is on an Earth-like orbit that remained in the immediate vicinity of our planet for several months at the end of 2024. 2024 PT5 experienced a temporarily captured flyby in 2024, from September 29 until November 25.

Nov 13, 2024 · Astronomers using the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope have discovered three ultra-massive galaxies -- nearly as massive as our own Milky Way Galaxy -- already in place within the first billion years after the Big Bang.

In a study published in the journal Nature Geoscience, planetary researchers used high-resolution images and compositional data captured by orbiters to understand the geology of thousands of kilometer-scale mounds in the lowlands north and west of Mawrth Vallis.

Sep 10, 2024 · At least 140 million Sun-like stars in our Milky Way Galaxy are likely to have experienced a similar stellar flyby, according to new research by a team of astrophysicists from the Forschungszentrum Jülich and Leiden University.

Sep 24, 2024 · The Massive Australian Precambrian-Cambrian Impact Structure (MAPCIS) is a non-concentric complex crater about 600 km (370 miles) in diameter.. The impact occurred at the end of the Ediacaran period, approximately 545 million years ago. “The discovery of MAPCIS is a testament to the power of collaborative research,” said team member Dr. Daniel Connelly.
