Astronomers using the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope have uncovered an unprecedented richness of small gas-phase hydrocarbons — such as benzene, triacetylene, diacetylene, acetylene, methane and methyl radical — in the deeply…
The hottest topic in astronomy is what exactly the little red dots (LRDs) hiding in JWST images really are.
Everyone agrees they’re high-redshift (and hence distant) systems, which are compact yet bright – but beyond that, everything is still…
BEIJING, Feb. 8 (Xinhua) — For the first time, scientists have confirmed that the impact cratering rates on the near and far sides of the moon are essentially consistent, laying a solid basis for the establishment of a globally unified lunar…
At 4:30 a.m. you’ll find Kevin Hart in the gym.
While he’s best known for being a comedian and actor, Hart trains like a serious athlete: six days a week, about an hour and a half a day, no excuses.
It started over a…
Physicists have developed a new theory that brings together two major areas of modern quantum physics. The work explains how a single unusual particle behaves inside a crowded quantum environment known as a many-body system. In this setting, the…
Tonight, the Moon looks slightly slimmer again as it approaches the Third Quarter. Its illuminated section is fading even more, meaning each night there’s less for us to see.
Venus has long been known as Earth’s evil twin. While they both are roughly the same size and formed in the same inner region of the solar system, Venus is far less hospitable to life as we know it. Its surface temperatures can reach over…

Astronomers have spent decades hunting for dark matter by looking for light that isn’t there — and that strategy has mostly failed.
Now, a team of researchers has tried something radically different. Instead of searching the sky, they…
