Led by Assistant Professor Richard Teague, a team of international astronomers has released a collection of papers and public data furthering our understanding of planet formation.
Researchers share the design and implementation of an incentive-based Space Sustainability Rating.
New phase will support continued exploration of ideas and solutions in fields ranging from AI to nanotech to climate — with emphasis on educational exchanges and entrepreneurship.
MIT students and faculty designed and fabricated a control room for a unique lunar landing mission — an achievement in design and engineering.
The small and rocky lava world sheds an amount of material equivalent to the mass of Mount Everest every 30.5 hours.
Professor Craig Carter’s precision design for a student-led project now on the moon encodes messages from around the world on a silicon wafer.
Performed in microgravity, 200 miles above the Earth’s surface, the imaging procedure could help keep astronauts safe and healthy on long-term missions.
The fellowship supports research contributing to the field of planetary science and astronomy.
Increasing greenhouse gas emissions will reduce the atmosphere’s ability to burn up old space junk, MIT scientists report.
Data from the devices will help future astronauts navigate the moon’s south polar region and search for frozen water.
Observations from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope help to explain the cluster’s mysterious starburst, usually only seen in younger galaxies.
Ideal for propelling tiny satellites, the lightweight devices could be produced on board a spacecraft and cost much less than traditional thrusters.
Researchers characterize the peculiar Einstein Probe transient EP240408a.
Their source could be the core of a dead star that’s teetering at the black hole’s edge, MIT astronomers report.
