Since astronomers discovered the first world outside the solar system in the mid-1990s, these extra-solar planets or “exoplanets” have astounded us with their strange characteristics.

A new discovery, made using the James Webb Space Telescope…

Shopping for space enthusiasts isn’t easy, especially if they’ve already got a solid stargazing setup. Maybe they’ve spent thousands of dollars on one of the best telescopes or best cameras for astrophotography, ready to snap Sirius this…

Scientists using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope have observed a rare type of exoplanet, or planet outside our solar system, whose atmospheric composition challenges our understanding of how it formed. 

Officially named PSR…

Could the Star of Bethlehem, which guided the ‘three wise men’ to the infant Jesus in the Christian Bible, have been a comet that came as close to the Earth as the moon?

That’s the remarkable hypothesis from Mark Matney, a planetary scientist in…

Today’s artificial intelligence models can’t even tie their own shoes.

In new research that puts the latest models to test in a 3D environment, Cornell scholars found that AI fares well with untangling basic knots but can’t quite tie knots…

All 10 instruments aboard NASA’s newly launched IMAP (Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe) mission have successfully recorded their first measurements in space. With these “first light” observations, the spacecraft is now…

NASA’s Carruthers Geocorona Observatory has captured its first images from space, revealing rare views of Earth and the Moon in ultraviolet light. Taken on Nov. 17 — still months before the mission’s science phase begins — these…

These initial measurements from the satellite’s Poseidon-4 altimeter show how Sentinel-6B will help track sea-level change, ocean currents and wave conditions, while also monitoring water levels from lakes and inland waters…
