On January 22, 2026, the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope observed the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS nearly perfectly aligned with the Sun-Earth axis, revealing unprecedented jet structures and an extended anti-tail.

Technological innovations in Africa and Western Europe in the later part of the Middle Pleistocene signal the behavioral complexity of hominin populations. Yet, at the same time, it has long been believed that hominin technologies in Eastern…

A great white shark is a masterwork of evolutionary engineering. These beautiful predators glide effortlessly through the water, each slow, deliberate sweep of the powerful tail driving a body specialised for stealth, speed and efficiency….

When astronomers look out into the cosmos, they see supermassive black holes (SMBH) in two different states. In one state, they’re dormant. They’re actively accreting only a tiny amount of matter and emit only faint, weak radiation. In…

A cup of coffee will not cure cancer. But scientists are now exploring whether caffeine could help control some of medicine’s most powerful treatments.

When the Undertones sang about “Teenage Kicks,” they could well have been inadvertently referring to the chaotic and violent “teenage” periods of planetary systems that are shaped by collisions between bodies of various sizes, such as the…

The “Too Few, Too Bright” Bias

One of the models developed by the research team is the sophisticated AM4-MG2 model, which applied the two-moment Morrison-Gettelman cloud microphysical parameterization with prognostic precipitation (MG2) to the…

Results from the solar-powered spacecraft provide a new measurement of the thickness of the ice shell encasing the Jovian moon’s ocean. 

Data from NASA’s Juno mission has provided new insights into the thickness and subsurface structure…
