It’s 2158, and you’re chugging away on your PhD in Planetary Volcanology from the University of Utopia Planitia on Mars. Graduate students still get...

Astronomers have made a major breakthrough by directly detecting the gas that fueled star formation in some of the universe’s earliest galaxies. The discovery offers...

Tiny traces of material from a giant cosmic explosion are still falling to Earth more than 100 million years after the event occurred, according...

A team of astronomers has found strong evidence that a star similar to our sun may have eaten one of its own planets. The star,...

When stars like our Sun age, they puff up into red giants. Their bubbling outer mass gradually escapes into space, and their remaining cores contract...

Our search for technosignatures - clear signs of advanced civilizations beyond Earth - takes many forms. Many are driven by the famous Drake equation, which...

Time seems like one of the most basic parts of everyday life. We use clocks to measure it, plan our days around it, and...

Could consciousness exist in alien life forms that look nothing like us? Could it even appear in machines? According to a new paper by philosophers...

Astronomers have discovered a powerful “galaxy-killing wind” in the early universe that may help solve one of the biggest mysteries in modern astronomy: why...

It’s 2134, and humanity has finally embraced green technologies while ridding the Earth of harmful fossil-burning technologies, most notably gasoline, wood, coal, and oil. As...

Here's one of the most unsettling facts in all of science. The universe is not just expanding, it’s expanding faster and faster. Every galaxy is...

Saturn is a world of surprises. The Voyager 1 and 2 flybys and later on, the Cassini mission, opened our collective eyes to intricate details...

The vicinity of Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*), the supermassive black hole at the Milky Way’s center, is hyperactive. Stars, gas, and dust zip around the...

Researchers using NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) have discovered two "super-Earth" exoplanets orbiting a nearby M-dwarf star known as TOI-2095. The newfound alien worlds...

The discovery of a new exoplanet, TOI-1135 b, orbiting a young, solar-type star marks another milestone in the ongoing search for alien worlds. This intriguing...

Rogue planets are elusive cosmic objects that have masses comparable to those of the planets in our Solar System but do not orbit a...
