A terrifying glimpse at one potential fate of our Milky Way galaxy has come to light thanks to the discovery of a cosmic ...

Researchers have created a "fingerprint" of a sulfur-based molecule found in space that may offer new clues about the ...

This previously unknown gap in the cooler interstellar medium appears to act as a passageway, allowing hot gas from the LHB to escape. "What we didn’t know was the existence of an interstellar ...

Together they form the heliosphere within the surrounding local interstellar medium – the plasma, neutral particles and dust that fill the space between stars and their respective astrospheres.

A key objective of ongoing research rooted in molecular physics is to understand and precisely control chemical reactions at ...

A NASA mission, IMAP, will investigate and map the sun's particles and energy across the entire heliosphere, using a ...

We can probe the ionized interstellar medium through imaging and timing observations of compact radio sources. As the radio waves pass through the interstellar medium, they are distorted and delayed ...

interstellar magnetic fields and radio waves in the interstellar medium, including any effects from the Sun that propagate to Voyager’s distances,” Spilker said. NASA experts believe the ...

Aterrifying glimpse of a possible fate for our galaxy, the Milky Way, has come to light thanks to the discovery of a cosmic ...

“Supernova explosions bring heavy chemical elements into the interstellar medium, which are then used to form new stars and ...

Deep in the galaxy’s central molecular zone (CMZ), surrounding the supermassive black hole at the Milky Way’s center, clouds ...

First, shocks create filaments, releasing silicon monoxide and other complex molecules into the interstellar medium.
