In a cosmic neighborhood not too far from our own, astronomers have uncovered a tantalizing discovery: a ‘super-Earth‘ named HD 20794 d, orbiting a star eerily similar to our Sun, just 20 light-years away. This exoplanet, boasting a mass six ...
When NASA astronauts Sunita Williams and Barry “Butch” Wilmore blasted off aboard Boeing’s Starliner in June 2024, they packed for a quick eight-day mission. Fast forward to early 2025, and they’re still floating 250 miles above Earth, waiting for a ...
When the Sun gets feisty, Earth feels it. Solar storms, the fiery outbursts of energy from the Sun, have the power to disrupt our tech-driven lives. With 2025 marking the peak of the current solar cycle, the question isn’t if ...
In late December 2024, astronomers spotted a new celestial neighbor: asteroid 2024 YR4. Measuring approximately 196 feet (60 meters) in diameter, this space rock has garnered attention due to a 1.2% chance of impacting Earth on December 22, 2032. While ...
Picture this: Earth’s magnetic field is belting out cosmic tunes that sound like a demented bird choir, and scientists just caught these “songs” partying 100,000 miles away—three times farther than ever before. If that doesn’t make you rethink your Spotify ...
Astronomers have just uncovered a cosmic marvel—a supermassive black hole, weighing in at a jaw-dropping 700 million suns, shooting an energy beam straight toward Earth. This newly discovered “blazar” is not only record-breaking in its age but also a gateway ...
Humans are naturally nosy. We’re always asking, “Are we alone in the universe?” And if there are aliens out there, could we find them by sniffing out their industrial pollution? Spoiler alert: Not likely — unless E.T. has a factory ...
Here’s a juicy question: How do you really know if a fossil is legit? Well, turns out, even the pros can get duped by what I like to call “Jurassic forgeries.” This time, it’s a mysterious sea monster from Morocco ...

Ever wish you could hit “rewind” on life and try every possible choice? That’s exactly what Nvidia’s new simulation platform, Cosmos, is doing — for robots and self-driving cars, anyway. We’re talking about a multiverse engine that predicts countless future ...
Imagine zipping across the vast expanse of space in mere decades, instead of millennia. A team of physicists has proposed a mind-bending idea that could make this sci-fi dream a reality. The Problem with Space Travel Space is huge. Like, ...
Quantum computing is a wild ride, isn’t it? Just when you think you’ve wrapped your head around the basics, along comes something like a “cat qubit” to make you question everything. Now, I’ve spent years digging into these complex topics, ...
What if you could rewind the cosmic clock without unraveling reality as we know it? According to groundbreaking research by scientists Germain Tobar and Fabio Costa, time travel may not just be science fiction—it could also be paradox-free. Sounds like ...
