The August new moon is ideal for spotting stunning deep sky objects tonight
The new moon on Aug. 15 will offer dark skies perfect for skywatchers to hunt out stunning Messier objects like the globular cluster M2, the Butterfly Cluster and the Wild Duck Cluster.
Supersonic tsunamis 3 times as tall as our sun are breaking on a distant 'heartbreak star'
The enormous waves are the result of gravitational tides dragging around stellar material.
New Muon g-2 Result Improves the Measurement by a Factor of 2
At the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (aka. Fermilab), an international team of scientists is conducting some of the most sensitive tests of the Standard Model of Particle Physics. The experiment, known as Muon g-2, measures the anomalous magnetic dipole moment of muons, a fundamental particle that is negatively charged (like electrons) but over 200 times as massive. In a recent breakthrough, scientists at Fermilab made the world’s most precise measurement of the muon’s anomalous magnetic moment, improving the precision of their previous measurements by a factor of 2.
Researchers dig deep underground in hopes of finally observing dark matter
Physicists like me don't fully understand what makes up "dark matter." Deep beneath South Dakota, we're trying to change that.
July 2023 was the hottest month since at least 1880, NASA says

August Super Blue Moon guide 2023: The biggest and brightest moon of the year snuggles up to Saturn
The Blue Moon of August 2023 rises on Aug. 30, offering skywatchers a second chance to catch a supermoon alongside Saturn in the night sky.
First contact with aliens could end in colonization and genocide if we don't learn from history
How humanity responds to the first contact with intelligent alien life could determine the very fate of our species. Here's what we can learn from history.
'Strange New Worlds' season 2 finale brings back those alien antagonists, the Gorn
The finale of "Star Trek: Strange New Worlds" season 2 feels like a lazy lurch over the finishing line after an intriguing, if mixed order, season.
Storms on Saturn Can Have Impacts That Last for Hundreds of Years
The Great Red Spot of Jupiter is a storm that has raged for hundreds of years. It was first observed by Gian Domenico Cassini in 1665, and except for a period between 1713 to 1830, it has been observed continuously ever since. Even if Cassini’s storm is not the one we see today, the current red spot has been around for nearly two centuries. While great storms appear now and then on Saturn and other gas planets, they don’t have the staying power of Jupiter’s great storm. Or so we thought.

Astronomers Scan 11,680 Nearby Stars for Signals from Advanced Civilizations
The hunt for alien life and its radio signals from beyond our Solar System is still coming up dry. But, it’s not for lack of looking for possible advanced civilizations.
Our Milky Way galaxy was not always a spiral. Here's how it changed shape
A century-old mystery of how galaxies shift shapes has been solved by considering "survival of the fittest" collisions between cosmic titans also revealing the Milky Way was not always a spiral.
Seeing Through the Smoke
The near-term haze of climate disasters obscures our possible futures. But long-term trends leave room for optimism.
Could Puncturing A Satellite’s Battery Help It Deorbit Faster?
A few years ago, there was a panic about lithium-ion batteries that exploded and could do things like take down a jetliner. On a recent trip, an airline asked passengers to turn in any devices with batteries that had been banned because of safety concerns. These are indicators of a widely understood downside of lithium-ion batteries, ubiquitous in cell phones, laptops, and other electronic hardware – they can easily catch fire very spectacularly. However, a team at the Aerospace Company is working on an idea to turn this potentially catastrophic event into an asset – by using it to deorbit defunct satellites.
What Mud Cracks Mean for Life on Mars
Mud cracks are evidence for sustained wet-dry cycles on ancient Mars, which might have provided conditions amenable to life (with caveats).

Putting the S in the first Meteosat Third Generation Sounder
Following on from the launch of the first Meteosat Third Generation weather satellite, MTG-I1, last December, the focus is now on getting its partner satellite, MTG-S1, ready for liftoff next year – and a significant milestone has been reached. The satellite has been equipped with its main instrument, the Infrared Sounder, hence the satellite’s name, and also the Copernicus Sentinel-4 instrument, an ultraviolet, visible, near-infrared light spectrometer, or UVN for short.
