A U.S. House of Representatives task force will once again hold a hearing on Sept. 9 to hear from witnesses who claim the U.S. government is hiding evidence of UFOs.

Does the nearby exoplanet TRAPPIST-1e support life? New James Webb Space Telescope data could help us find out

The James Webb Space Telescope has investigated the "Goldilocks zone" planet TRAPPIST-1e to search for a potential atmosphere and hints of habitability.

1st known interstellar visitor 'Oumuamua is an 'exo-Pluto' — a completely new class of object, scientists say

Exoplanet In A Ring Gap Shows How Protoplanets Can Shape Their Environment

Circumstellar discs are believed to be key components in planetary formation. However, we have very little actual evidence of planets growing in the “rings” that surround young stars. So planet formation theorists were ecstatic to learn that two new papers in Astrophysical Journal Letters describe a planet that is actively forming in the gap it most likely created in the ring system of a young, Sun-like star.

Life on Earth Probably Got Some Help From Space

The greatest challenge facing astrobiologists is that there is only one planet known to us that has life. Of all the bodies of the Solar System, only Earth has a dense atmosphere, liquid water on its surface, and the organic chemistry that supports life. However, these conditions did not exist billions of years ago when Earth was still young. While the nebula from which the planets formed was rich in volatile elements, the high temperatures in the inner Solar System largely prevented them from condensing, leaving them mostly in a gaseous state.

Astronomy or astrology? A quiz of science and stars

Dive into the fascinating crossroads of astronomy and astrology — where science meets symbolism, and the sky tells two very different stories.

The first stars may not have been as uniformly massive as astronomers thought

Chemistry in the first 50 million to 100 million years after the Big Bang may have been more active than we expected.

'It shouldn't survive': Astronomers discover dust on an epic journey far beyond its galaxy

A team of astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope has found tiny dust particles traveling far from their home galaxy, surviving a perilous journey through a harsh cosmic environment that should have destroyed them.

Total lunar eclipse will paint the full moon blood red for over 7 billion skywatchers tonight

Researchers at SwRI Produced a Mission Concept for Exploring Interstellar Objects Like 3I/ATLAS

The detection of the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS in July produced quite the stir in the scientific community. This comet is the third interstellar object (ISO) to pass through the Solar System, the previous two being 1I/'Oumuamua and 2I/Borisov, which arrived in 2017 and 2019, respectively. Like its predecessors, the arrival of 3I/ATLAS highlighted just how common these objects are and inspired mission concepts for studying them up close. The latest comes from the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI), where a team has developed a mission study for a spacecraft that could perform a flyby with 3I/ATLAS.
