A long-standing question has been how fast Earth's magnetic field can change. The authors of a new study say they’ve uncovered some answers.

The Mt. Lemmon survey discovered the asteroid on July 26. It was labeled near-Earth asteroid 2020 OY4. The asteroid then passed at about 11% of the moon's distance early in the day on July 28. The Virtual Telescope Project in Rome captured its image.

NOAA scientists forecast that this summer’s dead zone would measure roughly 6,700 square miles - bigger than the long-term average recorded since 1985, but lower than 2017’s record-high extent.

NASA is delaying the launch of the James Webb Space Telescope for another 7 months, from March 2021 to October 31, 2021, due to, among other factors, work stoppages during the coronavirus pandemic.

Scientists in Australia have discovered a strange new phenomenon in deep space - "Odd Radio Circles" - that appear in radio telescope images as mysterious circles or rings.

The Delta Aquariids are peaking. And the 2020 Perseid meteor shower gets rolling around now, too. Most importantly, find a dark sky!

What is creating the structure in Comet NEOWISE's 2 tails?
