The recently discovered interstellar visitor 3I/ATLAS may be one of the oldest comets ever seen by humanity. The object was already exciting to astronomers as only the third space object

Atmospheric escape shapes an exoplanet’s future. Earth’s exosphere is extended and detectable due to ocean-related atmospheric escape. If we can detect the same features on an exoplanet, it could suggest
The Otautahi–Oxford model’s predicted asymptotic speed, radiant, and Galactic velocity distribution for ¯ q 5 au ISOs, overplotted with the three known ISOs. The blue and orange lines on the

Astronomers have spotted a monster-sized planet that could be up to ten times the size of Jupiter emerging from the stellar fog surrounding a young star. Prior observations of the

Searching for habitable exoplanets will require decades of work, new technologies, and new ideas. A lot of that effort seems to coalescing around the Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO), a proposed

Even though Amazon Prime Day is officially over, we’ve spotted some products that are now cheaper than during the event. With our price checking expertise, we know these prices are
