Hubble, our greatest space-based observatory today, is just the beginning. The Hubble Space Telescope has been astronomy’s most revolutionary observatory in history. The stars and galaxies we see today didn’t […]
Hubble’s deepest views of space revealed fewer than 10% of the Universe’s galaxies. James Webb will change that forever.
The same (former) NASA engineer who previously claimed to violate Newton’s laws is now claiming to have made a warp bubble. He didn’t.
The results could help NASA’s Perseverance rover find evidence of ancient life on Mars.
In 1995, Hubble peered at the Pillars of Creation, forever changing our view. Now in 2022, JWST completes the star-forming puzzle.
Dead whales inspire a way to find extraterrestrial life on Mars.
In 1990, we only knew of the ones in our Solar System. Today, we know of thousands, and that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
Space planes could radically lower the cost of spaceflight.
Sound waves behave quite differently on Mars than on Earth.
When we look out at the Universe, even with Hubble, we’re only seeing the closest, biggest, brightest galaxies. Here’s where the rest are.
If you want to find life in the Universe, this is how you do it. When it comes to uncovering the ultimate truths about reality, we can only reap what we […]
The light from Earendel took 12.9 billion years to reach Hubble. The star is millions of times brighter than our Sun and 50 times as massive.
The midwest is particularly filled with them.
The surface and atmosphere is colored by ferric oxides. Beneath a very thin layer, mere millimeters deep in places, it’s not red anymore.
The space agency describes the process of landing rovers on Mars as “seven minutes of terror.”
Lockheed Martin’s Skunk Works engineering division has devised many jaw-dropping aircraft. Here are some of the best — and one ship.
How did the troughs form?
Even with all the recent impacts we’ve seen, it might be more “foe” than “friend” to us.
Neptune holds records in our Solar System, but the Universe gets even faster. Here on Earth, extreme weather events can cause dramatic wind speed spikes. When hurricanes are at their most […]
An optical telescope with a massive 20-foot (6-meter) mirror has an eye-popping price tag of $11 billion.
There are over 100 known elements in the periodic table. These 8 ways of making them account for every one.
Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein are locked in an eternal battle over the nature of gravity. Whose side are you on?
Chemical changes inside Mars’ core caused it to lose its magnetic field. This, in turn, caused it to lose its oceans. But how?
The truth is out there, but it’s probably not in the latest whistleblower’s report.
“The surface is no longer a record of every impact the moon has ever had, because at some point, impacts were erasing previous impacts.”
Was there ever life on Mars? Is there life on Mars now? Did it originate there or here, on Earth? All possibilities are fascinating.
At 35 light-years away, it’s also the 2nd coolest, 2nd widest planet ever found. Despite discovering more than 4000 exoplanets, most remain obscure. Although more than 4,000 confirmed exoplanets are known, […]
Forensics has reached the final frontier, and could be used to solve future space accidents—or crimes.
