A new study suggests that icy moons such as Mimas and Enceladus may host boiling subsurface oceans triggered by thinning ice shells and falling...

NASA’s fractured comet C/2025 K1 (ATLAS) dazzled stargazers on Monday night, offering a rare live view of a cosmic object breaking apart after a...

James Webb may have discovered the universe’s earliest supermassive black hole in galaxy GHZ2. Observations reveal high-energy emission lines, challenging existing models of rapid...

NASA’s upcoming Roman Space Telescope is expected to measure seismic waves in over 300,000 red giant stars, far greater than early predictions. These signals...

NASA’s Perseverance rover has identified Phippsaksla, a sculpted, metal-rich boulder in Jezero Crater with an unusually high iron-nickel composition. The rock’s chemistry strongly suggests...

A hardy moss species survived 283 days on the outside of the ISS, enduring vacuum, radiation and extreme temperatures. More than 80% of its...

Asteroid 2024 YR4 has been cleared as an Earth threat, but updated observations show a small chance it could hit the Moon in 2032....

SpaceX’s Falcon 9 achieved Florida’s 100th launch of 2025, carrying 29 Starlink satellites into low Earth orbit. The milestone reflects a surge in launch...

Webb’s mid-infrared images of Apep reveal a rare triple-star system producing vast carbon-rich dust spirals from colliding stellar winds. The two Wolf–Rayet stars and...

A new isotopic study reveals that Theia—the Mars-sized body that struck Earth 4.5 billion years ago to form the Moon—likely originated in the inner...

When LIGO and Virgo detected GW231123 in late 2023, it appeared to show two black holes merging in the so-called mass gap, where theory...

NASA is preparing an unprecedented mission to save the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory, a key gamma-ray burst monitor launched in 2004 but now rapidly...

Scientists at Georgia Tech have created an AI technique that pre-trains exoskeleton controllers using existing human motion datasets, removing the need for lengthy lab-based...

Researchers from the Allen Institute and Japan’s University of Electro-Communications have built one of the most detailed mouse cortex simulations ever created. Using Japan’s...

UC San Diego engineers have developed a soft, AI-enabled wearable patch that can interpret gestures with high accuracy even during vigorous or chaotic movement....

Researchers in China have set a new 27.2 percent efficiency record for perovskite solar cells by fixing chlorine-ion clumping, a major barrier to performance....

A new image of interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS captures its glowing tails and a distant barred spiral galaxy, creating a dramatic cosmic overlap. Astronomers say...

ESA’s Euclid space telescope has captured about 1.2 million galaxies in its first year, providing one of the most detailed wide-field surveys of the...

Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have detected a distant, metal-poor galaxy whose unusually massive, ultraviolet-bright stars match the expected signatures of Population...
