In 1903, a Vermont doctor bet $50 that he could cross America by car. It took him 63 days, $8,000, and 600 gallons of gas.
From astrobiology to geology, a Moon base could serve as a laboratory unlike anything on Earth.
Whether they’re gas giants or rocky planets makes all the difference for life. Over the past 30 years, we went from not knowing if there were planets like ours around other […]
These missions will put us one step closer to the ultimate goal: crewed trips to Mars.
UAP are no laughing matter anymore.
Our Sun will continue to grow, becoming a red giant and then a planetary nebula. Here’s how large it will get.
The stars circle each other every 51 minutes, confirming a decades-old prediction.
Before we formed stars, atoms, elements, or even got rid of our antimatter, the Big Bang made neutrinos. And we finally found them.
The acceptance of our cosmic loneliness and the rarity of our planet is a wakeup call.
Even with all the recent impacts we’ve seen, it might be more “foe” than “friend” to us.
Astrophysicists once believed in a static Universe, containing only the Milky Way galaxy. Science definitively proved otherwise.
You can’t throw a DART at everything in space.
The thrills and horrors of strange heavenly bodies condensed into one attractive snapshot.
Our Solar System’s outer reaches, and what’s in them, was predicted long before the first Oort Cloud object was ever discovered.
The study shows that it’s possible to map the wildly subjective psychedelic experiences to specific brain regions.
After more than two decades of precision measurements, we’ve now reached the “gold standard” for how the pieces don’t fit.
The Copernican principle states that Earth is an ordinary planet, but that does not mean that life is ordinary in the universe.
“You develop an instant global consciousness, a people orientation, an intense dissatisfaction with the state of the world, and a compulsion to do something about it.”
Investments in public libraries are a long-term investment in children and communities.
If you think of the Big Bang as an explosion, we can trace it back to a single point-of-origin. But what if it happened everywhere at once?
From consciousness to nothingness and beyond, these questions still baffle the brightest minds. Will they ever be solved?
Even though the leftover glow from the Big Bang creates a bath of radiation at only 2.725 K, some places in the Universe get even colder.
Ultracold gases in the lab could help scientists better understand the universe.
Just 12 million light-years away, the galaxies Messier 81 and 82 offer a nearby preview of the Milky Way-Andromeda merger.
The search for worlds outside our solar system has just turned up a planet, TOI-2257 b, with a truly extreme orbit.
When you measure not just light, but light’s polarization, you learn so much more. It’s been over 100 years since the first solution for a black hole was discovered in General […]
Not only does this give us a look at the scaffolding of the universe, we found some new galaxies too!
There are pros and cons to sending interstellar messages to aliens that may or may not exist.
