With advanced laser technology and an appropriate sail, we could accelerate objects to ~20% the speed of light. But would they survive?

If you can model anything in the Universe with an equation, mathematics is how you get the solution(s). Physics must go a step further.

Recent geopolitical turning points, like Brexit and the 2016 U.S. presidential election, were chapters in a story that extends decades back in world history.

A wild, compelling idea without a direct, practical test, the Multiverse is highly controversial. But its supporting pillars sure are stable.

More than two years after JWST began science operations, our Universe now looks very different. Here are its biggest science contributions.

There are many theories of gravity out there, and many interpretations of wide binary star data. What have we really learned from it all?

With LEDs bringing brighter nighttime lighting than ever before, and thousands of new satellites polluting the skies, astronomy needs help.
