A nearby planet that could potentially support life may be more Earth-like than scientists first believed. New observations suggest the planet, called GJ 3378b, is...

While studying planets beyond our Solar System (6,316 confirmed exoplanets and counting), scientists have discovered some very interesting systems. Consider TOI-201, a compact system populated...

In 2024, astronomers detected a rocky exoplanet, GJ 3378b, orbiting a red dwarf sun just 25 light-years from Earth in the direction of the...

The number of satellites orbiting Earth is growing at an incredible speed, and scientists say it could soon change the night sky forever. A new...

Scale in the universe is hard to understand from a purely human perspective. Many times the math just doesn’t sit well with our brains that...

Astronomers have discovered a remarkable black hole that has been sending out powerful radio waves for more than eight years, something never seen before. The...

The formation of continents was an important step in Earth's history. Continents and plate tectonics are connected to the planet's habitability, and the same is...

A giant planet that orbits a dead star has surprised scientists once again. New observations from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) suggest the planet...

Mars is famous for its huge dust storms, but scientists now believe these storms may do more than block sunlight and reduce visibility. A new...

When a bright fireball raced across the sky over Alaska last spring, scientists expected cameras and satellites to reveal exactly where it came from...

A newly discovered group of tiny red galaxies may help solve one of astronomy's biggest mysteries: where the universe's highest-energy neutrinos come from. Using the...

Imagine being nudged again and again by thousands of tiny shoves, each one barely perceptible alone, until they add up to a steady drift...

A cosmic drama is unfolding at the edge of the Milky Way galaxy, and NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope is watching the story unfold. The Large...

Scientists are diving deep into one of space’s biggest mysteries: dark matter. This invisible substance isn't something we can see directly, but many experts believe...

Most volcanism on the Red Planet occurred between 3 and 4 billion years ago, with smaller eruptions in isolated locations continuing perhaps as recently...

What can Earth-sized exoplanets teach scientists about the formation and evolution of exoplanets throughout the cosmos? This is what a recently submitted study hopes to...

Every so often, the Kuiper Belt and Oort Cloud throw galactic snowballs made up of ice, dust and rocks our way: 4.6-billion-year-old leftovers from...
