A planet in an unlikely orbit around a double star 336 light-years away may offer a clue to a mystery much closer to home: A hypothesized, distant body in our solar system dubbed "Planet Nine." This is the first time that astronomers have been able to measure the motion of a massive Jupiter-like planet that is orbiting very far away from its host stars and visible debris disk. This disk is similar to our Kuiper Belt of small, icy bodies beyond Neptune. In our own solar system, the suspected Planet Nine would also...

Scientists involved in a project in search of alien life are now investigating a mysterious radio wave signal that appears to have come from Proxima Centauri, the closest star

Have you ever wonder what is the universe made of? If you want to find the answer in syllabus books then it says the universe is made of energy and matter. If you ask the same question to a scientist then he will say it's dark stuff (Dark energy & Dark matter) then if you ask him what is dark matter? then his reply is probably is it's a riddle for science to solve. We are going to tell you about the mystery of dark matter and how scientists of LHC (Large Hadron Collider) gonna solve this mystery.

An enormous black hole keeps slipping through astronomers' nets. Supermassive black holes are thought to lurk at the hearts of most, if not all, galaxies. Our own Milky Way has one as massive as 4 million suns, for example, and M87's — the only black hole ever imaged directly — tips the scales at a whopping 2.4 billion solar masses.

Moon spaceship programme to be launched officially in January by the Ministry of Education, Science, Research and Innovation in what is a serious effort to establish Thailand’s credentials not only in the space race but among the top tier of countries claiming the highest technological expertise as well as giving a boost to national confidence.

For many reasons, 2020 may be a watershed year for society and science. Astronomers and space agencies spent the year managing the repercussions of the coronavirus pandemic. They also made breakthroughs in new technologies and bid farewell to several important projects.

Despite the coronavirus pandemic, 2020 has been a surprisingly busy year for space – and next year looks to be equally enthralling.

This is some real sci-fi stuff.

Growing older can take a serious toll on the body. Bones become brittle, muscle shrinks, the immune system loses strength, and age-related ailments like arthritis can set in. More serious complications like declining cognitive function and heart disease can also take hold as the later years of life progress.

An enigmatic radio signal from the direction of Proxima Centauri, the Sun’s nearest stellar neighbor, has set the internet ablaze with rumor and speculation. It could turn out to be the real deal — a calling card from another civilization. More likely, it’s much ado about nothing.

Space junk is becoming a growing concern amongst experts, who say it poses an environmental hazard — especially if it burns up on re-entry.

Simple organic ices dominate, rather than bigger organic molecules.

In 2017, NASA space probes detected a massive, human-made 'barrier' surrounding Earth.

After decades of nostalgia for the Apollo program, it’s time for NASA to send astronauts on a radical new adventure, worthy of America’s pioneering spirit

50 years after the first spacecraft touched down on our super hot neighbor (and promptly died), NASA has a plan for a tougher mechanical lander.

Where did this strange meteorite come from?

The International Space Station is now sporting a shiny new piece of hardware. On Monday (Dec. 21), the first commercial airlock ever sent to the International Space Station (ISS) was attached to its exterior. The new structure is a bell-shaped airlock that is designed to transfer payloads and other materials from inside the station out into the vacuum of space.

WSU researchers have used the ancient Japanese art of paper folding to possibly solve a key challenge for outer space travel—how to store and move fuel to rocket engines.

A murder in the Arctic could provide legal precedent for extraplanetary laws
