Recently, Chinese scientists conducted an unprecedented search using the FAST radio telescope in the TRAPPIST-1 system, ...

Researchers in China have conducted the most thorough search yet for alien radio signals in the nearby TRAPPIST-1 system, which may harbor potentially Earth-like planets.

TRAPPIST-1 is a red dwarf star located about 40 light years away that hosts seven Earth-sized rocky planets, with at least ...

Screentime will be an uphill battle for the foreseeable future, but the Yoto Mini Player is a great alternative I won't say ...

A University of Arizona-led team discovered a growing planet, WISPIT 2b, forming inside a disk gap around a young star. The finding confirms theories that protoplanets carve out gaps in disks of gas ...

Object 3I/ATLAS is now too far from Earth to aim a telescope at, but prior observations showed some unusual behavior. The anomalous nature of the object led astrophysicist Avi Loeb to apply a thought ...

Smithsonian researchers analyzed fragments of the near-Earth asteroid and discovered water-rich clays that hint at a distant origin Jack Tamisiea A view of the outside of the OSIRIS-REx sample ...

Most planet-forming disks have warps that can lead to planets on inclined orbits, which could explain where the tilt of Earth's orbit came from. The origin of the differing tilts in the orbits of the ...

The textbook picture of how planets form—serene, flat disks of cosmic dust—has just received a significant cosmic twist. New research, published in Astrophysical Journal Letters, is set to reshape ...

Exoplanets—worlds orbiting distant stars—were once only theory, until scientists found the first evidence beyond our solar system. New Social Security report raises alarms for 300 million Americans ...
