When two black holes collide and merge, they release gravitational waves. These waves can be detected by sensitive instruments on Earth, allowing scientists to determine the mass and spin of
Hayabusa 2 may need to alter its visit to its next target. VLT observations show that the asteroid 1998 KY26 is three times smaller than thought and spinning much more
The collision and merger of two neutron stars—the incredibly dense remnants of collapsed stars—are some of the most energetic events in the universe, producing a variety of signals that can
The universe is a slow-changing place. While it’s mostly true that the heavens and the deep-sky objects in it will look largely the same across an average human lifetime, there

The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) conducted the termination procedure for the Venus Climate Orbiter “Akatsuki” (PLANET-C) starting at 9:00 AM on September 18, 2025 (JST), thereby ending the probe’s
Let’s say you’ve picked the perfect spot for building a settlement on Mars. But this opens up some pretty nasty questions. Building…what? And building….with what?
A new class of supermassive black holes embedded in a thick gas shell could explain small red dots in images from the James Webb Space Telescope.
When the ESA launched the Gaia spacecraft in 2013, it didn’t generate the same fanfare as the launch of other missions like the JWST, or first light from telescopes like
