Straddling the bounds of science and religion, Newton wondered who set the planets in motion. Astrophysics reveals the answer.
The most unique interloper into our Solar System has a natural explanation that fits perfectly — no aliens required.
UAP are no laughing matter anymore.
Look out at a distant object, and you’re not seeing it as it is today. It’s size, brightness, and actual distance are all different.
The Bullet Cluster has, for nearly 20 years, been hailed as an empirical “proof” of dark matter. Can their detractors explain it away?
Saturn’s Iapetus, discovered way back in 1671, has three bizarre features that science still can’t fully explain.
You can’t throw a DART at everything in space.
The stars circle each other every 51 minutes, confirming a decades-old prediction.
Ultracold gases in the lab could help scientists better understand the universe.
An artist’s impression of what the fully-deployed James Webb Space telescope will look like from the perspective of an observer on the ‘dark’ (non-Sun-facing) side of the observatory. (NORTHRUP GRUMMAN) […]
Before we formed stars, atoms, elements, or even got rid of our antimatter, the Big Bang made neutrinos. And we finally found them.
Planets can be Earth-like or Neptune-like, but only rarely are in between. This hot, Saturn-like planet hints at a solution to this puzzle.
From consciousness to nothingness and beyond, these questions still baffle the brightest minds. Will they ever be solved?
Tiny fluctuations in old Kepler data reveals four runaway planets that are reminiscent of Earth.
Dark energy is one of the biggest mysteries in all the Universe. Is there any way to avoid “having to live with it?”
Our Universe isn’t just expanding, the expansion is accelerating. Instead of dark energy, could a “lumpy” Universe be at fault?
An enormous amount of antimatter is coming from our galactic center. But the culprit probably isn’t dark matter, but merely neutron stars.
The Universe is expanding, and the Hubble constant tells us how fast. But how can it be a constant if the expansion is accelerating?
For nearly 60 years, the hot Big Bang has been accepted as the best story of our cosmic origin. Could the Steady-State theory be possible?
As Uranus approaches its solstice, its polar caps, rings, and moons come into their best focus ever under JWST’s watchful eye. See it now!
The research suggests that roughly 1 percent of galaxy clusters look atypical and can be easily misidentified.
Even if you aren’t in the path of totality, you can still use the solar eclipse to measure how long it takes the Moon to orbit Earth.
In all the Universe, only a few particles are eternally stable. The photon, the quantum of light, has an infinite lifetime. Or does it?
Earth, the only rocky planet with a large, massive satellite, is greatly affected by the Moon. Destroying it would cause 7 major changes.
Researchers are working nest by nest to limit the threat while developing better eradication methods.
Astronomers find a third type of supernova and explain a mystery from 1054 AD.
The contact binary system KIC 9832227 is worth another look. Astronomers have seen some incredible occurrences across space and time. The nova of the star GK Persei, shown here in an […]
“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.”
