Astronomers analyzing data from Vera C. Rubin Observatory have discovered the fastest-ever spinning asteroid with a diameter ...

Haumea is one of the fastest rotating large objects in our solar system. A single day on the dwarf planet is only about 4 Earth hours long. NOVA is available to stream on pbs.org and the free PBS App, ...

The fastest-spinning white dwarf ever discovered is a shrinking cosmic vampire feasting on a stellar companion. A feeding process is pushing the dead star toward an imminent supernova explosion.

To demonstrate the system, the researchers showed that it could reconstruct real-time high-quality still images of a model jet engine rotating at about ∼2170 rpm (top images) and a CPU cooling fan ...

XMM-Newton has caught the fading glow of a tiny celestial object, revealing its rotation rate for the first time. The new information confirms this particular object as one of an extremely rare class ...

Objects rotating at high speed are a feature of modern engineering in various fields, and online inspection of them is a critical challenge. A project at China's Jinan University has now developed a ...

Astronomers analyzing data from NSF–DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory, jointly funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation and ...
