Always surprises me when there is news such as this. We have been studying the moon for centuries, and we have even found ice deposits on moons for OTHER PLANETS, but we just find ice on OUR moon now?
OK…obviously the moon isn’t the easiest thing to study being in space and all, but it is [...]

Astronomers have observed that a star is no more. What they observed is that it didn’t die an ordinary death.

A group of astronomers have discovered a possible force acting on dark matter that could change the way we think about and understand one of the most basic principles of our scientific understanding: Gravity. Dr Hongsheng Zhao of the SUPA Centre of Gravity, University of St. Andrews, suggests that an unknown force is acting on [...]
