A medieval monk may have beaten Edmond Halley to one of astronomy’s greatest discoveries by nearly 700 years。 Researchers say Eilmer of Malmesbury recognized that the blazing comet seen in 1066 was the same one he had witnessed in 989。 At the time, comets were viewed as terrifying omens tied to war and royal deaths, adding even more drama to the fa

Voyager 1 just powered down a nearly 50-year-old instrument to stay alive in deep space。 The spacecraft is running critically low on energy, forcing NASA to make careful sacrifices to keep its mission going。 Despite the shutdown, it continues to send back unique data from beyond our solar system
A team at the University of Hong Kong has developed a new “super steel” that can survive the harsh conditions needed to make green hydrogen from seawater。 The material uses an unexpected double-protection mechanism that resists corrosion far better than conventional stainless steel。 Even more impressive, it could replace costly titanium parts used
Approval is no surprise after FCC chair pressured EchoStar to sell licenses
"I do think it's a really good historical moment for the space industry
The little pauses, “ums,” and moments when you struggle to find the right word may reveal far more about your brain than anyone realized。 Researchers discovered that everyday speech patterns are closely tied to executive function — the mental system that powers memory, planning, focus, and flexible thinking。 By using AI to analyze natural conversat
US officials have said a nuclear detonation would render portions of low-Earth orbit useless for up to a year
NASA’s Curiosity rover had an unexpectedly stubborn Mars souvenir after drilling into a rock nicknamed “Atacama” — the entire chunk ripped loose from the ground and stayed stuck to the rover’s drill。 Engineers watched as Curiosity shook, vibrated, tilted, and spun the drill over several days in an effort to free the rock, while cameras captured the
A bizarre planetary pairing 190 light-years away is challenging everything astronomers thought they knew about how worlds form。 A “lonely” hot Jupiter — typically found without nearby companions — is sharing its system with a smaller mini-Neptune tucked even closer to the star, a setup once thought nearly impossible
Old "honor code" systems are under strain
A scorching, airless world just 48 light-years away is offering scientists a rare glimpse into the geology of distant planets。 Using the James Webb Space Telescope, researchers studied LHS 3844 b—a tidally locked “super-Earth” with a permanent dayside hot enough to melt metal—and discovered it’s a dark, barren rock with no atmosphere
Astronomers have unleashed a powerful new AI tool called RAVEN to comb through data from NASA’s TESS mission—and it’s paying off in a big way。 By analyzing millions of stars, the system has confirmed over 100 exoplanets, including 31 brand-new worlds, and identified thousands more promising candidates。 What makes this especially exciting is the dis
Cinematographer Hillary Fyfe Spera on how she kept things visually fresh for Born Again’s second season
Distinct form of tooth protein in Homo erectus shows up in Denisovans—and us
A new quantum physics study reveals that simply changing a magnetic field over time can unlock entirely new forms of matter that don’t exist under normal conditions。 By carefully “driving” materials with timed magnetic shifts, researchers created exotic quantum states that could be far more stable and resistant to errors—one of the biggest challeng
Creating complex molecules usually requires years of experience and countless decisions, but a new AI system is changing that。 Synthegy lets chemists guide synthesis and reaction planning using simple language, while powerful algorithms generate and evaluate possible solutions。 The AI doesn’t just compute—it reasons, scoring pathways and explaining
The plan aims to speed up AI compute deployment while compensating residents
Hubble has revealed a giant planet-forming disk unlike anything astronomers have seen before。 Nicknamed “Dracula’s Chivito,” the enormous structure appears turbulent and oddly lopsided, with towering filaments visible on only one side。 The disk contains enough material to potentially create multiple giant planets, making it a fascinating new labora
