In 2011, Thor proved himself more than worthy in his roaring MCU debut. Since then, the thunder has turned into laughter.
The NASA planet-hunting satellites Kepler and TESS scanned the skies autonomously, searching for the tiny dips in light caused by exoplanets transiting in front of their stars. Their diligent observations uncovered more than 6,000 confirmed exoplanets. As scientists examined the types of planets the spacecraft found, they discovered some patterns that need explanations.
Rome wasn’t built in a day, and a city on Mars is likely going to take even longer to build than Rome itself. At the time of the first Martian colonists, it is likely that the entirety of humanity’s industrial capacity, including the infrastructure to make critical materials like metals, will be based in the Earth-Moon system. While Mars has some iron, it also lacks many of the materials needed to make advanced materials, like boron and molybdenum. To alleviate that resource bottleneck, a new study, available in pre-print on arXiv and led by Serena Suriano and a team of researchers, offers a workaround that seems obvious in theory but difficult in practice - mine the necessary material from Main Belt asteroids.
Jun Aslan and Phaedra share a quiet chat in Archetype Entertainment's latest Community Update.
The Pandora exoplanet mission returns its first engineering images from space.
Providing good luck to the first Martian to find it.
Nikon's new Action 7x50 binoculars: A good buy for astronomy novices
From desert badlands to hilltop villages, these off-the-beaten-track locations offer clear views of Spain's rare sunset total solar eclipse.
Some celestial events are sure things; it's just a question of when. We're still waiting for T Corona Borealis to go nova — any month now.
In the far northern reaches of Finnish Lapland, an ambitious new chapter in Earth observation is unfolding. The European Space Agency, together with the Finnish Meteorological Institute and Finnish industrial partners, is advancing plans to develop a state-of-the-art ‘supersite’ in Sodankylä.
The FLAMINGO project helps scientists explore how galaxies, dark matter and cosmic structures evolved over billions of years.
From AT-TEs to Baby Yoda, save big with these last-minute Star Wars Day deals, before they disappear into hyperspace.
Astronomers using the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope together with the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope have looked deeply at thousands of young star clusters in four nearby galaxies, studying clusters at different stages of evolution. Their findings show that more massive star clusters emerge more quickly from the clouds they are born in, clearing away gas and filling the galaxy with ultraviolet light. The result gives us a better understanding of star formation in galaxies, as well as how and where planets can form.
Scientists studied how space junk moved in orbit over a 36-year span, finding that increased solar activity caused it to fall to Earth faster.
The European Space Agency (ESA) has partnered with French video game studio DON’T NOD Entertainment on the development of Aphelion, a narrative science‑fiction game inspired by space exploration and scientic expertise.
Mexico City is one of the fastest subsiding cities in the world, dropping by up to 14 inches every year.
You could spend hours scrolling through the thousands of photos just released by NASA from the Artemis 2 moon mission.
A video captured by a newly launched SpaceX Starlink satellite shows us what it's like to zoom above our beautiful blue planet.
On Jan. 7th, 2026, the Subaru Telescope joined many of the world's observatories and space telescopes in observing the 3I/ATLAS, the third interstellar object (ISO) detected in our Solar System. This interstellar comet had just completed its closest approach to the Sun, which produced more intense outgassing. By observing the light from 3I/ATLAS' coma, astronomers were able to examine the chemical composition of the comet's interior and produce estimates of the ratio of carbon dioxide to water.
A trans-Neptunian object was found to possess a surprising thin atmosphere after astronomers witnessed the object occult a distant star.
Leo, the Lion, is one of the most recognizable of the spring constellations, with its large size, distinctive shape, and plentiful bright stars.
