Hydrogen cyanide was one of the most important molecules in the formation of RNA, according to astrobiologists from Johns Hopkins University, in Baltimore, Maryland.

Juno provided data that has let scientists probe the depths of Jupiters storms. We now know the Great Red Spot

Juno has been orbiting Jupiter since 2016. In the last five years, we have learned a lot about the gas giant. Recent observations offer the first three-dimensional look at Jupiter's atmosphere and shed light on the depth of the planet's iconic cycles and bands.

Scientists have for the first time created a 3D view of Jupiter's atmosphere with the help of observations from Juno spacecraft orbiting the planet.

New study offers a fuller picture of how the planet’s colorful atmospheric features offer clues about the unseen processes below its clouds.

Amazing video shows aurora - spectacular natural light shows caused by the Sun - on Uranus. Experts at the University of Leicester led three days of observations of the planet earlier this month.

A research team led by Professor Soebur Razzaque from the University of Johannesburg predicted gamma-ray burst (GRB) behaviour. One such burst recently disrupted cell phone reception in South Africa. While Earth gets blasted by mild short GRBs regularly, the research team found that giant flare GRB 200415A came from another possible source. It erupted from a very rare, powerful neutron star called a magnetar, a star dying soon after the beginning of the Universe. Their findings were published i...
