The moon is farther from Earth tonight than it will be until 2043

The most distant moon since March 2020 takes to the sky today, but you won't be able to see it.

We've Long Thought The Surface Area Of A Black Hole Can't Decrease. Now We Have Data To Back It Up.

Hawking radiation has never been proved, but it's generally thought to be real. Essentially, the argument is that when you combine black hole event horizons with quantum fuzziness, thermal energy can escape a black hole. We don't have a fully quantum theory of gravity, but we do have several semi-classical models that support the existence of Hawking radiation. And if Hawking radiation is true, then the interaction of black holes is governed by the laws of thermodynamics.

Rocket Lab launches hypersonic test flight for US military (photo)

Rocket Lab launched its HASTE suborbital vehicle for the sixth time ever on Tuesday (Nov. 18), sending several test payloads up for the U.S. military.

'Predator: Badlands' remembers that action movies should be fun

The latest 'Predator' is a fun throwback to the '80s and '90s, when silliness and comedy were a key part of the action formula

Fly high with this low price on the DJI Mini 4K drone, now 21% cheaper in an early Black Friday drone deal

We rate the DJI Mini 4K as our best beginner drone, but it's even better when you buy it with these handy accessory packs, with savings of at least 20%

When a severe G4 geomagnetic storm hit, this Dreamliner pilot had the perfect front-row seat.

Comet C/2025 K1 (ATLAS) breaks apart in incredible telescope photos

Astronomer Gianluca Masi captured breathtaking imagery of solar system comet C/2025 K1 (ATLAS) breaking into multiple pieces after being warmed by the sun.

Private mission to save NASA space telescope will launch in 2026 on a rocket dropped from a plane

Katalyst Space Technologies will use Northrop Grumman's air-launched Pegasus rocket for its upcoming mission, which will send a spacecraft to boost the orbit of NASA's Swift space telescope.

Hunting For "Wnadering" Black Holes In Dwarf Galaxies

Tracking down black holes at the center of dwarf galaxies has proven difficult. In part that is because they have a tendency to “wander” and are not located at the galaxy’s center. There are plenty of galaxies that might contain such a black hole, but so far we’ve had insufficient data to confirm their existence. A new paper from Megan Sturm of Montana State University and her colleagues analyzed additional data from Chandra and Hubble on a set of 12 potential Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) galaxy candidates. They were only able to confirm three, which highlights the difficulty in isolating these massive wanderers.

Lasers target the Tarantula Nebula with 'artificial stars' | Space photo of the day for Nov. 19, 2025

The Very Large Telescope's interferometer targeted four lasers toward the Tarantula Nebula to create an artificial star.

Webb spots greedy supermassive black hole in early Universe

Researchers using the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope have confirmed an actively growing supermassive black hole within a galaxy just 570 million years after the Big Bang. Part of a class of small, very distant galaxies that have mystified astronomers, CANUCS-LRD-z8.6 represents a vital piece of this puzzle and challenges existing theories about the formation of galaxies and black holes in the early Universe. The discovery connects early black holes with the luminous quasars we observe today.

Scientists just discovered a new crater on the moon — they call it a 'freckle'

The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera has identified a never-before-seen crater on the moon's surface.

SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket streaks into Florida's night sky carrying Starlink satellites to orbit (video)

SpaceX launched another batch of its Starlink internet satellites in a nighttime liftoff from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station on Tuesday (Nov. 18).

What's Driving Dark Energy?

To be fair, all scientific models are in some sense wrong. They’re all approximations of reality. They’re all mathematical models that we use to describe and understand our observations and measurements. And like I said, the LCDM model has, over the course of almost a quarter century, proven to be enormously resilient, flexible, and powerful when describing broad swaths of nature.

The Euclid space telescope observed 1.2 million galaxies in just 1 year. Here's what we've learned

The data is starting to reveal how galaxies and their black holes evolve.

The Andromeda Galaxy Quenches Its Satellite Galaxies Long Before They Fall In

Astronomers know that mergers play a huge role in galaxy growth. Right now, the Milky Way is slowly consuming the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds. The evidence is a stream of gas called the Magellanic Stream that's about 600,000 light-years long. The Milky Way (MW) is stripping this gas from the clouds, which don't have enough mass to retain it. They're losing the gravitational tug-of-war with the much more massive MW.
