UArizona is providing the software hub for the NEID spectrometer on Kitt Peak as the instrument begins its mission to discover Earth-like planets elsewhere in the Milky Way.
Researchers used detailed observations of an enormous jet of glowing gas and dust to pinpoint the supermassive black hole at the center of galaxy Centaurus A.
New research by a UArizona undergraduate finds that asteroid 16 Psyche, the target of an upcoming NASA mission, may not be as metallic or dense as predicted.
After nearly five years in space, the OSIRIS-REx spacecraft is on its way back to Earth with an abundance of rocks and dust from asteroid Bennu.
Scientists are certain dark matter exists, but after more than 50 years of searching, they're still unsure what it's made of. A UArizona optical scientist proposes repurposing existing tabletop technology to search for dark matter.
Mission scientists will compare the final shots of the asteroid Bennu with images taken before the touch-and-go maneuver, which kicked up dust and rocks.
Before departing for Earth on May 10, the OSIRIS-REx spacecraft will perform a final flyby of Bennu – capturing its last images of sample collection site Nightingale.
On May 10, the OSIRIS-REx spacecraft will depart asteroid Bennu and begin its two-year journey back to Earth, where scientists will study the dust and rocks it collected from the asteroid's surface.
