With unprecedented detail, a team of astronomers led by MPE have imaged the youngest disks around new-born stars. Astronomers used to think that planet formation followed star formation. But these glowing, chaotic disks ...

An international team of astronomers using the combined powers of space-based and ground-based observatories, including the W.M. Keck Observatory and Subaru Telescope on Maunakea, Hawaii Island, have discovered a brown d...

A Region in Motion The global space sector is evolving faster than ever, with new technologies, shifting geopolitics, and fresh investment cycles redefining what doing space means. Amid this transformation, [] The post L...

Before a supernova finally explodes, its progenitor ejects massive amounts of gas into its surroundings. When the doomed star finally explodes, its blast wave slams into this material. This is one of a supernova's si...

The Southern Taurid meteor shower peak on Nov. 4-5 brings the potential for bright meteors and dramatic fireballs.

A new study used the James Webb Space Telescope to study how our universe's first galaxies were.

The cosmic voids of the universe are empty of matter. But we all know theres more to the universe than just matter.

The physics-based Martian rover simulator rides out of early access, offering tons of creative tools and impeccably chill vibes.

New satellite imagery captures the complete devastation across Jamaica left in the wake of deadly Hurricane Melissa.

Star formation has a lot of complex physics that feed into it. Classical models used something equivalent to a collapse of a cloud of gas by gravity, with a star being birthed in the middle. More modern understandings sh...

You may have heard about the extensive testing facilities for spacecraft and equipment, but how do scientists prepare for the human aspect of space exploration?

Modeling supermassive black holes is hard, but it's a bit easier if you use a non-singular model.

What began with tragedy ended in triumph. This is the untold story of the European Space Agency's pioneering 25-year Cluster mission to study how invisible solar storms impact Earth's environment.

An international team of scientists, led by the University of Oxford, has achieved a world-first by creating plasma "fireballs" using the Super Proton Synchrotron accelerator at CERN, Geneva, to study the stabili...

A panel of leading space industry executives will explore the trajectory of space technology over the next decade, examining how the long-imagined future depicted in comic books and science fiction [] The post Johns Hopk...

We'll lose the ISS pretty soon. What might we lose with it?

The Bwine F7GIM is a lightweight beginner drone that weighs above the 250 g threshold, but it flies well, and the automatic camera is fairly good.

As the world watches the push for crewed lunar missions, it is tempting to frame the unfolding dynamic between the United States and China as a modern-day space race, with the lunar surface as the stage for a sovereignty...

A new panorama from the Rubin Observatory captures the Milky Way in vivid detail.

For the first time, an international research team led by the Shanghai Astronomical Observatory (SHAO) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has demonstrated that applying pixelized strong-lensing modeling on a galaxy clust...

A few days ago, I wrote about non-singular black hole models, specifically one known as the Hayward model. Since its introduction in 2006, several variations of the Hayward model have been introduced, including a rotatin...

Far from Earth, in the vast expanses of space between stars, exists a treasure trove of carbon. There, in what scientists call the "interstellar medium," you can find a wide range of organic molecules-from honeyc...
