CERN's Neutrino Platform Enables Testing Prototypes for DUNE's Far Detectors

In the midst of the verdant French countryside, there is a workshop the size of an aircraft hangar bustling with activity. In an extension that is well-lit, technicians cut through thick steel slices using electric saws and blast metal joints with welding torches.

Hubble's ACS Reveals Combination of Gas-Rich Spiral Galaxies

This delicate smudge in deep space is far more turbulent than it first appears. Known as IRAS 14348-1447 — a name derived in part from that of its discoverer, the Infrared Astronomical Satellite (IRAS for short) — this celestial object is actually a combination of two gas-rich spiral galaxies.

NASA's Hubble Space Telescope Captures Shadow Play Phenomenon Caused by Possible Planet

Searching for planets around other stars is a tricky business. They're so small and faint that it's hard to spot them. But a possible planet in a nearby stellar system may be betraying its presence in a unique way: by a shadow that is sweeping across the face of a vast pancake-shaped gas-and-dust disk surrounding a young star.
