When NASA's DART spacecraft slammed into the asteroid moon Dimorphos in September 2022, it didn't just change the asteroid's ...

When NASA steered its Dart probe into an asteroid, it was supposed to determine how much it could be deflected. The consequences were unexpectedly severe.

How light is light? The James Webb Space Telescope has just been able to directly image a planet so light and faint that, in ...

Researchers identified the likely planetary candidate’s infrared light after blocking out its host star’s overwhelming glare ...

Debris disks are circumstellar structures composed of dust and rocky debris generated by collisions among planetesimals and other small bodies. These disks offer a direct window into the dynamical ...

Faint booms from space help track incoming debris. But the path matters more than you think. Earth gains a little mass each year as space dust rains down from above, adding thousands of metric tons to ...

The James Webb telescope has made another stunning discovery -- this time of a massive planet that could potentially sustain ...

The space-based observatory has revolutionized the way we see space, and it can now add another remarkable accomplishment to ...

"We think this X-ray signal could be from planetary debris pulled onto the white dwarf, as the death knell from a planet that was destroyed by the white dwarf in the Helix Nebula," explained lead ...

The graph below shows the total number of publications each year in Debris Disks and Planetary Systems. References [1] New Horizons Venetia Burney Student Dust Counter Observes Higher than ...
