An unidentified source has been beaming out a pulse of radio waves every 22 minutes since 1988, astronomers say.
The system in which the discovery was made is already famous: PDS-70. It was here that we saw, for the first time, direct images of not just one but two exoplanets in the process of forming, baby gas giants named PDS-70b and PDS-70c
Scientists are seeking to confirm that a black rock discovered in Morocco in 2018 departed Earth's pull for outer space, only to return to it like a prodigal child.
Space propulsion company Pulsar Fusion has started construction on what it claims is the largest practical nuclear fusion rocket engine ever built.
In a first, the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) may have glimpsed a rare type of star that astronomers aren’t even sure exists. These “dark stars” might not have been fueled not by nuclear fusion but by the self-annihilation of dark matter.
A retired cosmological theory should be given a second chance at explaining anomalies in our Universe, according to theoretical physicist Rajendra Gupta from the University of Ottawa in Canada.
A scorching hot world where metal clouds rain drops of titanium is the most reflective planet ever observed outside of our Solar System.
Researchers poring over imagery and data from the Perseverance rover on Mars have found evidence of organic molecules in the planet’s Jezero Crater, potentially providing evidence of the planet’s carbon cycles and its ability to host life.
An orbiting satellite discovers a mysterious, heat-emitting mass of granite buried under the surface of the far side of the Moon.
Scientists have detected an active supermassive black estimated to have been created 570 million years after the Big Bang.
A new quantum computer can execute calculations in mere moments that would take the most advanced supercomputers 47 years to process.
From the far reaches of the observable Universe, astronomers have just seen a supermassive black hole suddenly flare to life.
Meteor-like fireballs in the atmosphere of the Sun rain down like showers of shooting stars during the phenomenon of coronal rain, scientists have found.
The temperatures are being driven by human-induced climate change and the naturally-occurring weather pattern known as El Niño, scientists say. Last month was the hottest June on record, the EU's climate monitoring service Copernicus said on Thursday.
A new study has highlighted the possibility of major harvest failures caused by climate change in multiple global breadbaskets as the United Nations warned of a “dystopian future” without immediate action.
