Matthew Williams    Scientists at the SETI Institute searched for technological signals from 3I ATLAS, the third interstellar object observed in our Solar System. Using...

Paul Sutter    A look at why a cyclic, eternally repeating universe is such an appealing idea, and why the first serious attempt to build one, Richard Tolman’s...

Andy Tomaswick    Rocket scientists have always faced a trade-off in propulsion technologies. Chemical rockets can provide lots of oomph, but burn through fuel so...

Alan Boyle    An international committee of experts says it has updated its rules for evaluating and revealing the detection of extraterrestrial intelligence. The...

Matthew Williams    The first mission devoted to observing the Martian atmosphere and its evolution, NASA’s MAVEN (Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution), has ended...

Carolyn Collins Petersen    Ever since the first protoplanetary disk was discovered in 1984 around the star Beta Pictoris, these objects have presented astronomers with...

Matthew Williams    Using data from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers led by researchers at the University of California, Riverside have produced the most...

Evan Gough    According to theory, all active black holes should produce winds or jets. Astronomers have long searched for wind around the Milky Way’s central...

Evan Gough    Stephen Hawking predicted that stars can capture primordial black holes (PBH). The PBH find their way to the stellar core, creating a Hawking star....

Matthew Williams    Astronomers have developed a technique that allows them to detect cloud cycles on distant exoplanets. Using data from the James Webb Sapce Telescope ...

Evan Gough    New research shows how unmagnetized worlds like Mars can still deflect some of the Sun’s solar wind. Unlike magnetospheres that form around planet’s...

Evan Gough    Scientists using the Euclid space telescope found a red-dwarf brightness gap in the population of a globular cluster an ancient, crowded collection...

David Dickinson    It’s a familiar annual question, that we’re already hearing as we enter into June. What are those two bright objects in the west? They’re none other...

Matthew Williams    In our final installment in the series, we’ll examine all the close calls, possible candidates, and instances in which extraterrestrial signals could...

Evan Gough    A multi-year survey of millions of stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud shows that the dwarf galaxy is expanding rather than rotating. This is due to...

Evan Gough    The early Universe is full of massive galaxies that stopped forming stars very early. They’re called massive quenchers (MQ) and they’re challenging...

Scott Johnston    Astronomers studying wind speeds on distant exoplanets have discovered weather systems driven by magnetic fields, rather than the largely...

Andy Tomaswick    The strength of gravity is different on every body in the solar system. Whether it’s the crushing weight of Jupiter or the miniscule pull of a small...

Matthew Williams    Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin is assessing damage to its launch pad after a rocket exploded during a test firing, creating a giant orange fireball seen and...

Andy Tomaswick    Galactic collisions are events of breathtaking proportions. The Supermassive Black Holes (SMBHs) at their centers plunge into a chaotic orbital dance...
