How do you measure wind on Mars? These scientists have a plan
Measuring wind on Mars with great sensitivity is important if we don't want accidents with vehicles, and maybe even astronauts, on the Red Planet.
NASA may use lasers to livestream from the moon one day
Getting a live play-by-play of astronauts on the moon could be possible through laser communications during future Artemis missions.
Colossal X-class solar flare erupts from 'rule-breaking' sunspot and Earth is in the firing line (video)
Watch a colossal X-class solar flare erupt from the sun's highly magnetized 'rule-breaking' sunspot.
Status Report and Expectations for Comet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS
Is Comet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS falling apart? How bright will it likely get? We try to answer those questions and more.
Researchers want to build 'streetlights' on the moon — and they'd be taller than the Statue of Liberty
A private company has received funding from the U.S. government to build the first-ever "streetlights" on the moon — towering, Statue of Liberty-sized structures that could withstand the brutal lunar night.

Primordial Black Holes Could Kick Out Stars and Replace Them.
Primordial black holes formed during the earliest stages of the evolution of the universe. Their immense gravity may be playing havoc in stellar systems. They can transfer energy into wide binary systems disrupting their orbits. Like celestial bullies their disruption might lead to extreme outcomes though like the ejection of a star, only to be replaced by the black hole itself! A new paper studies the interactions of systems like these and looks at ways we might be able to detect them.
NASA’s Says Goodbye to its Asteroid-Hunting NEOWISE Mission
NASA’s Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE), launched in 2009, spent the next fourteen and half years studying the Universe in infrared wavelengths. During that time, it discovered thousands of minor planets, star clusters, and the first Brown Dwarf and Earth-Trojan asteroid. By 2013, the mission was reactivated by NASA as the Near-Earth Object Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (NEOWISE), which was tasked with searching for Potentially Hazardous Asteroids (PHAs). For ten years, the NEOWISE mission faithfully cataloged comets and asteroids that could pose a threat to Earth someday.
Weird, 'watermelon shape' asteroids like Dimorphos and Selam may finally have an explanation
New research finds why some asteroids have weird, watermelon-shaped moons trapped in orbit around them, contrary to what typical asteroid formation theories predict.
New ISS images showcase auroras, moon and space station in glorious photos (video)
NASA astronaut Matthew Dominick's newest visuals show recent auroras from the International Space Station, along with the moon.
Mars Has Lots of Water, But It’s Out of Reach
Mars was once wet, but now its surface is desiccated. Its meagre atmosphere contains only a tiny trace amount of water vapour. But new research says the planet contains ample liquid water. Unfortunately, it’s kilometres under the surface, well out of reach.
Watch a Perseid fireball light up the skies above Macedonia in this striking video
Watch a stunning Perseid fireball blaze over Lake Ohrid, Macedonia in this incredible video.
Highly magnetic dead star launches mysterious blast of energy
Though magnetars and pulsars are two distinct types of neutron stars, astronomers have spotted a magnetar mimicking a pulsar after launching a mysterious blast of intense radiation.
Roller coaster tech could help NASA’s Artemis moon astronauts in case of a launch emergency
NASA recently met with roller coaster experts to talk safety. The braking system used on theme park rides is similar to an emergency system designed for agency moon launches.
Ocean's worth of water may be buried within Mars — but can we get to it?
"We haven't found any evidence for life on Mars, but at least we have identified a place that should, in principle, be able to sustain life."
How to Define a Planet – The Sequel
Hold your breath: astronomers are re-evaluating their definition of a planet. Spoiler: it won’t bring Pluto back into the family.
Drugs can partially prevent muscle loss caused by microgravity, experimental study finds
With prolonged space missions on the horizon, scientists are racing to understand how microgravity affects the human body and how drugs could mitigate some of those effects.
Airplane contrails are a tricky, and surprising, contributor to global warming
Commercial airplanes have made strides in reducing carbon emissions, but it turns out the exhaust clouds trailing behind them can have long-term impacts on the environment.
'Star Wars: Skeleton Crew:' First adventurous trailer lands at Disney's D23 fan event
The first trailer for Disney+'s "Star Wars: Skeleton Crew" drops at Lucasfilm's D23 panel.
Newly found star 30 times the size of the sun has an unexpected chemical composition
A newly discovered star 30 times as large as the sun has a baffling chemical composition that could provoke a revision to stellar evolution models.
