Scientists explore whether a world covered in water can keep its climate as stable long-term as an Earth-like, continental world can.
Seeing Cepheids in the X-Ray
Unexpected X-ray emission has been observed in some variable stars when they’re at their largest size. What could be the cause?
How Do Imines Form in Space Clouds?
Astrobites reports on the space-based formation of imines, molecules that are precursors to DNA.
