Einstein was wrong (slightly) about quantum physics, new version of the famous double-slit experiment reveals
A new version of the famous double-slit experiment showed that it's impossible to measure light as both a wave and a particle at the same time, thanks to quantum physics' uncertainty principle.
Is life widespread throughout the cosmos? Complex organic molecules found in planet-birthing disk
Complex organic molecules that could be the precursors to the building blocks of life as we know it have been discovered in a disk of gas and dust swirling around an infant star.

Find out “what’s up” in the August sky. We’ll track down four planets before dawn; have some fun with New Moons; peek at some Perseids; and gaze at the center of our galaxy. So load up on the bug juice, and come along on this month’s Sky Tour.
Hawaiian Constellations
In traditional Hawaiian astronomy and navigation, Hawaiian constellations (or nā hōkū o ka lani) were used by Polynesian voyagers to navigate vast ocean distances. While many align with Western constellations, Hawaiians grouped and interpreted the stars differently, focusing more on star lines, rising/setting patterns, and cultural meaning rather than fixed shapes.

NASA Defines Gaps In Exoplanet Science
Science is driven by our desire to understand things. In some cases, where it requires significant effort and investment to develop systems that can understand new things, science benefits from a game plan that the community of researchers focused on a particular niche can rally around, even if they don’t necessarily agree on the details. In astronomy and space science, those game plans typically take the form of Decadal Surveys, produced by the National Academies to define the path forward in a specialization or sub-field.
