Do parallel universes exist? We might live in a multiverse.
There are a few good theories for a multiverse — an infinite number of parallel universes besides our own.
ESA and GHGSat support new International Methane Emissions Observatory
In the first 20 years of reaching the atmosphere, methane has more than 80 times the warming power of carbon dioxide. Reducing emissions of this extremely potent gas is, therefore, one of the fastest ways of slowing the rate of global warming, at least in the short term – and at COP26, more than 100 countries have just signed up to the Global Methane Pledge, which aims to limit emissions by 30% compared with 2020 levels.
Honda test-fires prototype engine for reusable rocket
Honda began working on the rocket in late 2019 and already has some serious hardware to show for it — a brand-new engine.
An asteroid barely missed Earth last week, and no one knew it was coming
Asteroid 2021 UA1, a space rock about the size of a refrigerator, made a surprise appearance when it recently flew past Earth.
Weird cosmic object keeps exploding over and over again, and scientists don't know why
Researchers have watched a mysterious fast radio burst shoot out energy far more times than they thought was possible.
Space solar power's time may finally be coming
The idea of harvesting solar energy via power-beaming satellites has long intrigued researchers — and recent advances may help make it a reality relatively soon.
Tourists a (major) problem at Mars analog site
Making a Red Planet simulation as realistic as possible is key to The Mars Society's research. Crews can accomplish this, but not with constant outside interference.
There are roses in Mission Control! One family's NASA tradition continues with SpaceX after 30 years
For more than 30 years, one Texas family has shown their support for NASA mission control with a simple gesture: sending flowers.
Meltwater runoff from Greenland becoming more erratic
As world leaders and decision-makers join forces at COP26 to accelerate action towards the goals of the Paris Agreement, new research, again, highlights the value of satellite data in understanding and monitoring climate change. This particular new research, which is based on measurements from ESA’s CryoSat mission, shows that extreme ice melting events in Greenland have become more frequent and more intense over the past 40 years, raising sea levels and the risk of flooding worldwide.
Could our Universe be Someone’s Chemistry Project?
It is a pivotal time for astrophysicists, cosmologists, and philosophers alike. In the coming years, next-generation space and ground-based telescopes will come online that will use cutting-edge technology and machine learning to probe the deepest depths of the cosmos. What they find there, with any luck, will allow scientists to address some of the most enduring questions about the origins of life and the Universe itself.

Is the Universe Fine-Tuned for Life?
For decades, various physicists have theorized that even the slightest changes in the fundamental laws of nature would make it impossible for life to exist. This idea, also known as the “Fine-Tuned Universe” argument, suggests that the occurrence of life in the Universe is very sensitive to the values of certain fundamental physics. Alter any of these values (as the logic goes), and life would not exist, meaning we must be very fortunate to be here!
Moons are Planets too
What makes a planet a planet? The answer turns out to be rather contentious. The official definition of a planet, as defined by the International Astronomical Union (IAU) is that a planet must satisfy three conditions:

Ingenuity Back in Action on Mars on its 14th Flight
The Ingenuity Mars Helicopter took a short hop flight on October 24, giving the mission team both a sigh of relief and an anticipatory look to future flights. This 14th flight of Ingenuity’s mission was a short 23-second hover, with a peak altitude of 16 feet (5 meters) above ground level, with a small sideways translation of 7 feet (2 meters) to avoid a nearby sand ripple.
10 devastating signs of climate change satellites can see from space
Climate change is already affecting Earth so seriously, its consequences can be seen from space.
Blue Origin's 'Mannequin Skywalker' goes on display at Space Camp
The first passenger to fly with Blue Origin on not just one, but multiple flights into space has retired to the home of Space Camp. Mannequin Skywalker was revealed at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center.
