(NASA via AP) At a Glance On the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 1 tragedy, NASA has created an exhibit honoring the three astronauts that were killed.The hatch that...

At a Glance Earth's magnetic poles may undergo a full reversal, according to researchers.There's no way to predict pole reversals yet, but scientists say the planet is overdue for one. The magnetic field acting as our planet’s invisible armor may be close to a reversal in which the magnetic poles trade places, scientists say. There is currently no way to predict geomagnetic reversals, but because we’re overdue for one and the Earth’s magnetic field has been decreasing, , reports the...

Saturn’s infamous rings have always made it stand out in the cosmos, but newly released images from NASA show an incredibly detailed view of the icy bands as they haven’t been seen before. NASA’s Cassini spacecraft has entered its “Ring-Grazing” orbits phase, which has allowed it to capture , according to a release from the space agency. The spacecraft came close to the rings when it arrived at Saturn, but the image quality was not as high as these new...

The Heensche Molen area of The Netherlands glows white with snow in a satellite image captured on Jan. 19, 2017. (NASA Earth Observatory) At a Glance Snowfall in the Netherlands made for odd satellite images when it appeared in one isolated spot.Researchers believe fog-induced snow is behind the peculiar precipitation.

At a Glance Researchers have determined that a massive comet-like object is 100,000 times larger than Halley's Comet. The object is being ripped apart and scattered throughout a white dwarf's atmosphere.This finding provides the best evidence yet for a belt of comet-like bodies that are orbiting the white dwarf. Scientists using NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope have recentlydiscovered that a massive comet-like object 100,000 times bigger than Halley’s Comet is being ripped apart and scattered throughout the atmosphere of a white...
