A new survey has revealed that the shelf, whose neighbours Larsen A and B collapsed in 1995 and 2002 respectively, has a huge crack spreading across its surface.

In addition to a planet's distance from its parent star, another factor may be key in determining its habitability — its internal temperature during its formative years.

In his weekly address Saturday, the U.S. president pledged to continue his efforts to tackle climate change “in the weeks and months ahead.”

Three new studies, based on data collected by NASA's Kepler space telescope, aim to understand the complex relationship between the spin rate of stars and their internal structure.

An experiment has confirmed that the "proton radius puzzle" discovered in 2010 is very real — a finding that may be the evidence of a new fundamental force.

The European Space Agency has released a photograph of the location where the mission’s Schiaparelli module will land on Oct. 19, if all goes as planned.
