The UAE is the first Arab nation to send a spacecraft to the Red Planet.
We have long thought that Pluto was completely frozen solid, but the discovery of cryovolcanoes challenges that assumption.
The results could help NASA’s Perseverance rover find evidence of ancient life on Mars.
The space agency describes the process of landing rovers on Mars as “seven minutes of terror.”
The Hyperloop is physically possible, but engineering challenges will make its construction very difficult. Also, accidents would be catastrophic.
The answer may lie in the particular way sand forms on Titan.
The helicopter’s sixth mission almost went down in disaster.
We just observed the first ‘lunar formation’ in an exoplanetary system. This one image, above, is the first to show moons actively forming around a planet. This colourful image shows […]
Does your father say “I love you,” or express it in another way?
Thou shalt not conclude “aliens” from insufficient data. When it comes to what’s out there in this Universe, perhaps the only thing that’s greater than our cosmic ignorance is the […]

Was there an intelligent, technologically advanced species long before humans existed? Could there have been a dinosaur civilization?
Quantum entanglement may remain spooky, but it has a very practical side.
The original principle of relativity, proposed by Galileo way back in the early 1600s, remains true in its unchanged form even today.
As the Sun ages, it loses mass, causing Earth to spiral outward in its orbit. Will that cool the Earth down, or will other effects win out?
Scientists are notoriously resistant to new ideas. Are they falling prey to groupthink? Or are our current theories just that successful?
This technological feat changes our cosmic history.
Ancient helium-3 from the dawn of time leaks from the Earth, offering clues to our planet’s formation. A key question is where it leaks from.
Whether NASA likes it or not, humans eventually will be having space sex.
We once thought the Moon was completely airless, but it turns out it has an atmosphere, after all. Even wilder: It has a tail of its own.
