The high winds that birth dust devils can also revitalize robots by cleaning their solar cells.
Exploding stars come in different types, and these different types of supernovae show astronomers different things about the cosmos. There's a scientific appetite to find more of them and boost our knowledge about these exotic events. The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope should be able to feed that appetite.
Astronomers using the Subaru Telescope have discovered a strange new body in a weird orbit at the edge of the solar system, which could be bad news for Planet Nine theories.
Sotheby's in New York City auctioned off a giant chunk of Mars found in Africa. It sold for $4.3 million.
Bring the universe closer — here’s our round-up of the best binoculars by price for those looking for something cheap, looking to invest a little more or those 'forever home' binoculars
10 supernova explosions have been seen brightening the Fireworks Galaxy over the past century.
Everything about the Infinity Galaxy, recently discovered by the JWST, is strange. One odd feature could be the 1st evidence of a "direct collapse" black hole.
Astronomers have witnessed the birth of an entirely new star system for the first time. The budding planets are forming around the infant star HOPS-315.
NASA and the Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) tested a model of the X-59 experimental aircraft in a supersonic wind tunnel to measure the noise underneath the jet.
New research suggests that the Milky Way should be surrounded by as many as 100 undetected tiny and faint "orphan" galaxy companions.
Researchers have discovered a rare ring-galaxy duo that appears to harbor a supermassive black hole formed through direct collapse
"Our work is a new piece of evidence that suggests that Mars was once a much more complex and active planet than it is now."
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 mission expected to launch in the early 2040s that would be capable of directly imaging potentially habitable worlds, and, importantly, detecting features about them that could prove whether or not they host life as we know it. A new paper by exobiology specialists in Europe and the US, led by Svetlana Berdyugina of ISROL in Locarno, Switzerland, details an observational plan with HWO that could definitely prove that life exists on another planet - if they’re able to find one where it does anyway.
A massive filament eruption carved a 250,000-mile-long "canyon of fire" into the sun — and sent a CME sailing into space.
The impact that carved out the moon's huge South Pole-Aitken basin may explain the puzzling differences between the lunar near and far sides.

View of Earth as seen by ESA project astronaut Sławosz Uznański-Wiśniewski inside the seven-windowed cupola, the International Space Station's "window to the world".
A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launched 26 Starlink internet satellites into low Earth orbit after lifting off from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California on July 15, 2025.
The search for habitable exoplanets is a key priority and sits at the pinnacle of exoplanet science. The science community stated that clearly in the 2020 Survey on Astronomy and Astrophysics 2020 (Astro2020). That survey identified the search for habitable worlds as a priority in their Pathways to Habitable Worlds report.
Astronomers have detected a massive, Ultra-Hot Jupiter that's getting dangerously close to its star. It's more massive than Jupiter and orbits its star more quickly than Mercury orbits the Sun. There are only three possible outcomes, and none of them are good for the planet.
New research indicates that cellular "pockets" that are the first step toward protocells, the precursors of life, could form in the methane seas of Saturn's moon Titan.
