Either that, or gravity may have been a lot slower.

The distant structures, which were made visible due to a phenomenon known as gravitational lensing, could provide vital clues to the birth and evolution of stars.

Scientists believe that studying the nature and composition of Virgo 1, which lies roughly 280,000 light-years from Earth, may provide vital clues to behavior of dark matter

Using an extremely precise microscopy technique, a team of researchers has revealed that DNA makes up only 53 percent of every chromosome — far less than previously believed.

The spacecraft, which has been orbiting Saturn since 2004, will begin grazing the planet’s rings later this month as part of the first phase of its “endgame.”

The Surface Water and Ocean Topography satellite will launch aboard a Falcon 9 rocket in 2021, and is expected to cost NASA about $112 million.

The image of the dwarf galaxy shows a mix of blue and red stars, suggesting that stars have been forming in it throughout its history.

The image, captured when the spacecraft was at an altitude of roughly 920 miles, shows the 57-mile-wide and 2.5-mile-deep Occator Crater.

The experiment will study the shower of particles created during collisions between lead ions and protons — a phenomenon similar to cosmic rays’ interaction with Earth’s atmosphere.

The Trace Gas Orbiter, currently orbiting the red planet once every 4.2 days, will provide the science teams at ESA and Roscosmos a chance to calibrate their instruments.

A study published in the Journal of Propulsion and Power shows that a propulsion system based on an electromagnetic drive actually works.

In a proof-of-concept study, scientists showed that tobacco crops genetically modified to harvest more light showed up to 20 percent higher yields.

Researchers have used a Fast Radio Burst to glean invaluable information about the cosmic web — the swirling, diffuse and faint web of gases and magnetic fields that exists between galaxies.

Jing Haipeng and Chen Dong spent 30 days in the Tiangong-2 space lab — China's longest manned space mission.

Analysis of samples collected from the dinosaur-killing asteroid impact site has revealed that cataclysmic asteroid impacts can cause a planet’s surface to behave like a fluid.

The crew members include veteran NASA astronaut Peggy Whitson who now holds the record for the oldest woman to fly in space.

NASA has, as part of its “Space Poop Challenge,” called on innovators to develop fecal, urine, and menstrual management systems for its new spacesuits.

A supercomputer simulation of the "primordial soup" has revealed that its inner structure is surprisingly complex.

The valley, which is larger than the Grand Canyon, most likely formed as a result of Mercury’s single outer crust plate contracting and bending.

According to a new study, Sputnik Planitia — a wide plane in the western lobe of Pluto's "heart" — may have a cold, slushy ocean of water-ice.

The U.S. should "take a right and smart decision to live up to the world's expectations" on climate change, Liu Zhenmin, China’s vice foreign minister, said Wednesday.

A new study has confirmed, with the highest precision yet, that the strength of electromagnetism remains the same, no matter where one is.

According to a new study, extremely red quasars — more than any other class of quasars — play a key role in regulating star formation in their host galaxies.

Tens of thousands of reindeer in northwest Russia starved to death in 2006 and 2013 when their food supply was cut off due to unseasonal rains.

Jones — an outspoken conspiracy theorist and Donald Trump supporter — said Infowars’ “fake news analysis center” will combat “lies and fake stories being pushed by the mainstream media.”

Project Blue, launched by an international consortium of scientists, began a Kickstarter campaign Tuesday to raise funds for a telescope that may capture a “pale blue dot” image of an alien planet.

Scientists have proposed an ingenious technique to study gravity over extremely short distances, one that involves creating a ring of several thousand ultracold atoms.

According to a team of researchers from Manchester University, it may be possible to use large molecules made of nickel and chromium as qubits — the quantum computing equivalent of bits.

The particles, discovered as part of NASA’s THEMIS mission, were found being accelerated to nearly the speed of light in the foreshock region, which lies just beyond Earth’s magnetic field.
