Can you burp in space?
Gravity plays a big role in burping, so could an astronaut burp in space?
Astronomers discover doomed planet shedding a Mount Everest's worth of material every orbit, leaving behind a comet-like tail
Astronomers discovered a planet that orbits its star so closely that its surface is being scorched into magma and vaporizing into space.
Black holes may obey the laws of physics after all, new theory suggests
"The singularity is the most mysterious and problematic part of a black hole. It's where our concepts of space and time literally no longer make sense."
Astronomers identify a celestial '3-body problem' lurking in the outer solar system
New research suggests that a binary pair of Kuiper Belt objects, known as the Altjira system, is actually made up of three separate bodies orbiting one another in a complex triad. This rare orbital configuration is often referred to as the "three-body problem."
Euclid telescope spots rare 'Einstein ring' hiding near Earth — and an ancient, unnamed galaxy behind it
Einstein predicted the existence of gravitationally-warped rings of light in 1915. Now, a new one has been discovered just a cosmic stone's throw from our own planet.
How do Hula-Hoops work?
How do Hula-Hoops keep from falling down as we twirl them around?
Scientists still don't fully understand why some planets have hundreds of moons while others have none
It's not a competition, but if it were, Saturn would be winning.
Why does Earth look flat if it's really round?
It's all about perspective: The higher you go, the more you can see the curve.
How long does it take to travel to the moon?
The answer depends on many factors, including the amount of fuel needed, the moon's orbit and the mission's objectives.
Indian Ocean gravity hole: The dent in Earth's gravitational field created by the death of an ancient ocean
The Indian Ocean "gravity hole" is a region where Earth's mass is reduced, leading to weak gravitational pull, lower-than-average sea levels and a puzzle scientists have only just begun to solve.
