(Gray News) - Physicists have discovered a new form of ice, something they say redefines the properties of water at high pressures.
A team of scientists working in Nevada Extreme Conditions Lab at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, pioneered a new method for measuring the properties of water under high pressure, according to a recent report from the university.
Solar System: Did the Sun once have Saturn-like rings?
When it comes to the universe and all of its mysteries, there are many things we know we don't know. Some are minor and mostly inconsequential, but there are other cosmological unknowns that leave huge blanks in our understanding of how things work on large and small scales.
Traditional wisdom says that all stars spawn from immense clouds of spinning gas and dust, known as molecular clouds, often containing the mass of hundreds of millions of stars.
There are more than 5,000 confirmed planets beyond our solar system, NASA says | WAER
These so-called exoplanets include rocky worlds roughly the size of Earth, gas giants larger than Jupiter and "mini-Neptunes."
Astronomers discovered the first exoplanets by using the "wobble" method of tracking the subtle teetering of a star caused by the gravitational pulls of orbiting planets.
There's a Stunning Detail Lurking in Juno's Latest Pic of Jupiter
The Juno probe has been tasked with studying a leviathan: Jupiter , the heavyweight of the Solar System, King of the Planets.
The gas giant has 79 known moons (and possibly more unknown), one of them even bigger than Mercury . Juno is exploring the relationship between some of those moons and their host planet – and sometimes, seeing them show up photobombing pictures of the Big Jupe itself.

Are Solar Panels Worth It? (2022)
In this article: When are solar panels worth it | How much do solar panels cost? | The bottom line | FAQs
The benefits and perks of solar energy are often well-covered, but the expensive up-front costs associated with a solar photovoltaic (PV) system may have you confused. You might be asking yourself, are solar panels worth it?
EarthSky | Why are the Voyager spacecraft getting closer to Earth?
For a few months each year, the distances between the Voyager spacecraft and Earth actually decrease. You might know that both Voyager spacecraft were launched into space in the 1970s and visited the outer planets through the 1980s. They’ve been heading out of our solar system ever since.
Two celestial bodies collide in deep space.
When humans began space exploration, the first question that appeared was how did our planet form? With the discovery of many other planets, it changed to how the solar system was formed? A long-standing theory remains that the system was shaped by mega-collisions between rocky bodies.
