Proton’s Magnetic Moment Measured With Precision Never Before Achieved

Fractions of a second after the Big Bang, matter and antimatter formed in equal measure – only to annihilate each other again. But a small surplus of matter survived and formed the Universe we know today. What caused this small surplus has remained one of the great mysteries of physics.

Astronomers Predict "Time of Death" for Two Known Exoplanets

Two worlds orbiting a distant star are about to become a snack of cosmic proportions. Astronomers announced today that the planets Kepler-56b and Kepler-56c will be swallowed by their star in a short time by astronomical standards. Their ends will come in 130 million and 155 million years, respectively.

Research Suggests Exoplanets Can be Classified as Terrestrials, Gas Giants and Mid-size Gas Dwarfs

The planets of our solar system come in two basic flavors, like vanilla and chocolate ice cream. We have small, rocky terrestrials like Earth and Mars, and large gas giants like Neptune and Jupiter. We're missing the astronomical equivalent of strawberry ice cream - planets between about one and four times the size of Earth. NASA's Kepler mission has discovered that these types of planets are very common around other stars.

Harsh Space Weather May Strip Atmosphere of Rocky Planet Orbiting in Red Dwarf's Habitable Zone

Life in the universe might be even rarer than we thought. Recently, astronomers looking for potentially habitable worlds have targeted red dwarf stars because they are the most common type of star, comprising 80 percent of the stars in the universe. But a new study shows that harsh space weather might strip the atmosphere of any rocky planet orbiting in a red dwarf's habitable zone.
