Washington, June 7 (ANI): New observations from ALMA have provided answer to one of the biggest questions: how do tiny grains of dust in the disc around a young star grow bigger and bigger - to eventually become rubble, and even boulders well beyond a metre in size?

Washington, June 7 (ANI): Stars have an alluring pull on planets, especially those in a class called hot Jupiters, which are gas giants that form farther from their stars before migrating inward and heating up.

New York, June 6 (ANI): Buzz Aldrin, who landed on the moon with Neil Armstrong in 1969, is making a strong case for a permanent settlement on Mars.

Washington, June 6 (ANI): Scientists analyzing data from NASA's Cassini mission have confirmed the presence of a population of complex hydrocarbons in the upper atmosphere of Saturn's largest moon, Titan, that later evolve into the components that give the moon a distinctive orange-brown haze.

Washington, June 6 (ANI): NASA's Curiosity rover that landed on Mars summer is finishing investigations in an area smaller than a football field where it has been working for six months, and it will soon shift to a distance-driving mode headed for an area about 5 miles (8 kilometers) away, at the base Mount Sharp, it has been revealed.

Washington, June 6 (ANI): A new research has suggested that our Sun was both active and "feisty" in its infancy, growing in fits and starts while burping out bursts of X-rays.
