Port Canaveral has had such a busy year supporting SpaceX’s rocket recovery efforts, it brought in a new crane to assist in the launch parade on the Space Coast.
Since the early 20th century, scientists have gathered compelling evidence that the universe is expanding at an accelerating rate. This acceleration is attributed to what is known as dark energy—a
The first supermoon of 2025 takes to the night sky in less than one week! Here’s what you need to know about the full “Harvest Moon” before it rises to
The most distant and most powerful “odd radio circle” (ORC) known so far has been discovered by astronomers. These curious rings are a relatively newly identified astronomical phenomenon, having been
Astronomers recently released a new image of the binary star system Eta Carinae’s full spectrum, taken from deep in Chile’s Atacama Desert. The image was captured with the newly installed
In February 2023, a United States Air Force fighter jet shot down a Chinese high-altitude balloon flying at about 60,000-65,000 feet (18-20 km) altitude in sovereign U.S. airspace. After the
ESA’s Mars Express takes us on another mesmerising flight over curving channels carved by water, islands that have resisted erosion, and a maze of hilly terrain. Central to the tour is a

Astronomers have identified an enormous “growth spurt” in a so-called rogue planet. Unlike the planets in our solar system, these objects do not orbit stars, free-floating on their own instead.
