Over the last 25 years, a lot of Lego Star Wars sets have come and gone. These are the ones we wish would make a return.
NASA astronauts Mike Fincke and Zena Cardman will conduct a historic spacewalk outside the International Space Station on Thursday morning (Jan. 8), and you can watch the action live.
One of the critical aspects of exoplanet habitability is the long-term stability of the stars they orbit. Some stars are extremely massive and blast through their hydrogen fuel in only a few million years. Rigel, the blue supergiant in Orion, is an example of one of these. It will shine for only about 10 million years. That's not much time for life to arise on planets.
Jared Leto's sci-fi flick hits the Disney+ streaming grid starting January 7.
Jupiter's having a special moment! Don't miss the giant planet at its best when it reaches opposition this week.
Jupiter currently shines as a brilliant silvery "star" in the constellation Gemini the Twins, low in the east-northeast sky as dusk slowly fades. You really should catch the show.
It feels like every time we publish an article about an exciting discovery of a potential biosignature on a new exoplanet, we have to publish a follow-up one a few months later debunking the original claims. That is exactly how science is supposed to work, and part of our job as science journalists is to report on the debunking as well as the original story, even if it might not be as exciting. In this particular case, it seems the discovery of dimethyl sulfide in the atmosphere of exoplanet K2-18 b was a false alarm, according to a new paper available in pre-print form on arXiv by Luis Welbanks of Arizona State University and his co-authors.
The Hubble Telescope appears as a tiny silhouette during a perfectly timed solar transit captured from Puerto Rico.
Jupiter enters the evening sky and dominates the night.
Image: This image, captured by the Copernicus Sentinel-2 mission on 6 January 2026, shows Amsterdam in the Netherlands blanketed in snow.
From volcanic landscapes to world-class observatories, a journey through the Canary Islands reveals a night sky unlike anything I'd seen before.
Another view from Perseverance shows how windswept Mars' landscape truly is.
"The Chinese may well beat the U.S. with a grab sample."
Martian winds can have quite an impact. ESA’s Mars Express has spotted them whipping up sand grains and acting as a cosmic sandblaster, carving out intriguing grooves near Mars’s equator.
The extent and speed of ice moving off the ice sheets of Greenland and Antarctica into the sea – an important dynamic for climate and sea-rise modelling – has been captured over a 10-year period by satellites from the Copernicus Sentinel-1 mission.
This is Part 1 in a series on the physics of free will.
Using new observations from the Hubble Space Telescope and observatories on Earth, scientists have confirmed the existence of Betelgeuse's elusive companion star, named Siwarha.
Gravitational Lensing is a vital tool for astronomers to observe objects that are too distant or faint (or both) to be resolved by current instruments. This method leverages a prediction from Einstein's Theory of General Relativity, namely that massive objects alter the curvature of spacetime. When a "lens" comes into view, its gravitational field bends and amplifies light from more distant objects. In a recent study, a team of astronomers used a combination of ground-based telescopes to discover the first spatially resolved, gravitationally lensed supernova.
The platypus is one of evolution's loveable, oddball animals. The creature seems to defy well-understood rules of biology by combining physical traits in a bizarre way. They're egg-laying mammals with duck bills and beaver-like tails, and the males have venomous spurs on their hind feet. In that regard, it's only fitting that astronomers describe some newly-discovered oddball objects as 'Astronomy's Platypus.'
SpaceX recently stacked the giant Super Heavy booster that will help launch the upcoming 12th test flight of the company's Starship megarocket.
Roguelite structure, mysterious narrative, and breakneck third-person shooter action come together once again in Housemarque's Saros.
