Scientists have created the largest catalogue of exploding stars ever assembled, and it’s telling us something surprising about the mysterious force driving our universe apart. After analyzing over 2,000 stellar
Recreating the environment that most spacecraft experience on their missions is difficult on Earth. Many times it involves large vacuum chambers or wind tunnels that are specially designed for certain
From an engineering perspective, space is surprisingly hot. Or, more specifically, solar energy can make systems that need to be kept at a very cold temperature heat up much more
A team of astronomers using the Netherlands’ powerful LOFAR radio telescope has found a white dwarf that’s defying everything we thought we knew about them. Located over 3,500 light-years away,
Los Angeles CA (SPX) Jul 22, 2025 NASA has awarded $621,000 to University of Massachusetts Amherst microbiologist James Holden to investigate what life might look like on Europa, Jupiter’s ice-covered
Astronomers have discovered an extraordinary world that defies everything we thought we knew about planets. TOI-2431 b, an Earth sized planet located just 117 light years away, races around its
Black holes played a critical role in the formation of the early universe. However, astronomers have been debating for a long time just how critical, as the information we had
What new exercise methods can be devised for astronauts in space under microgravity conditions? This is what a recent study conducted submitted to the 2025 Technology Collaboration Center’s (TCC) Wearables
We can understand how Earth formed by watching other planets form in distant solar systems. Powerful telescopes like the VLT are making that possible. New observations show a baby planet
