NASA unveils astronauts' spacesuits for Artemis moon landing

NASA and Axiom Space have revealed a new spacesuit design — and it could be these very suits that are eventually worn by the first woman and person of color to walk on the moon.

Scientists discover the origin of water in our solar system

New findings suggest the water originates from the space between solar systems, billions of years before the birth of our sun.

Another Bright Comet Is Heading to Earth

An incoming comet, C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS), recently spotted by telescopes in China and South Africa could be as bright as a planet in the night sky next year, according to astronomers who studied the object.

New Dark Matter Theory Says a "Dark Big Bang" Created the Hidden Universe

There could have been two scenarios with the two Big Bangs. The Hot Big Bang, as in the standard picture, creates the hot plasma of visible matter and radiation and the dark matter, however, could have been created in a later, ‘darker’ Big Bang.

Space origin for the building blocks of life on Earth

An international team has analyzed samples taken from the asteroid Ryugu in 2018 by the Hayabusa2 mission and found uracil, one of the five key bases of the RNA and DNA molecules that are crucial to life as we know it.

Largest Magnetic Fields in The Universe

One of the most common sources of magnetic fields on large scales comes from the collisions between and within interstellar plasma. This is one of the major sources of magnetic fields for galactic-scale magnetic fields.

'Forbidden' planet orbiting a small star

The host star, TOI-5205, is just about four times the size of Jupiter, yet it has somehow managed to form a Jupiter-sized planet, which is quite surprising.

Two New Forms of Salt Water Could Rewrite Fundamental Chemistry

Two newly discovered forms of frozen salt water could help scientists resolve a mystery concerning the Solar System's ice-encrusted moons.

'Missing Link' Black Hole Hidden in Our Own Galaxy

A comma-shaped molecular cloud near the center of the Milky Way seems to be orbiting one of the most sought-after objects in astronomy - an intermediate black hole.

Scientists have discovered a new core at the center of the Earth

The new layer of the inner core consists of an iron-nickel alloy, like other parts of the core, but it has a different crystal structure.

Scientists find evidence that black holes are the source of dark energy

Observations of supermassive black holes at the centres of galaxies point to a likely source of dark energy  - the "missing" 70% of the Universe.

Unexpected ring around the dwarf planet found

The dwarf planet is known as Quaoar. The presence of a ring at a distance of almost seven and a half times the radius of Quaoar, opens up a mystery for astronomers to solve: why has this material not coalesced into a small moon?

Mysterious Dark Galaxy Emits No Visible Light

One newly discovered dwarf galaxy, FAST J0139+4328, located a mere 94 million light-years away is barely emitting any light at all. The galaxy seems to be made up almost entirely of dark matter.

Exoplanet 31 light years away could be habitable

Astronomers have discovered a rocky exoplanet about a few dozen light years away from Earth with conditions that could make it habitable.

Jupiter Overtakes Saturn as The Planet With The Most Known Moons

Astronomers have counted 12 previously unknown moons in orbit around our Solar System's biggest planet, bringing the known total to 92, and leaving Saturn, with its measly count of 83, in the dust.
