We’ve mastered launching satellites, but it’s the way these satellites connect to Earth—and to each other—that will determine ...

Drifting alone through space, about 20 light-years away, is a world that refuses to fit in. SIMP 0136 isn’t a star because it’s too small to ignite nuclear fusion. But it’s also too massive to be a ...

A team of astronomers used the James Webb Space Telescope to create the first 3D atmospheric map of an exoplanet. The fiery WASP-18b, a massive “ultra-hot Jupiter,” revealed striking temperature ...

Researchers have discovered chemical fingerprints of Earth's earliest incarnation, preserved in ancient mantle rocks. A unique imbalance in potassium isotopes points to remnants of “proto Earth” ...

When a Mars-sized meteorite slammed into Earth billions of years ago, the impact completely reset any and all chemical processes on Earth, leaving nothing from before. Or so we thought. Reading time 3 ...

A Mars-size object called Theia smashed into Earth, and the debris coalesced into the moon. Now scientists believe they may have identified pieces of Theia at the bottom of Earth’s mantle. A new study ...

Astronomers might be close to confirming the presence of an Earth-like atmosphere on an exoplanet for the first time, if more detailed analyses verify preliminary observations from the James Webb ...

Temperatures on the planet could make water theoretically possible. Astronomers are researching an Earth-like exoplanet that could contain water, according to NASA. The exoplanet, named TRAPPIST-1 e, ...

Astronomers are researching an Earth-like exoplanet that could contain water, according to NASA. The exoplanet, named TRAPPIST-1 e, is being monitored by the James Webb Space Telescope, the most ...

A new 3D mapping project aims to improve on GPS' limitations. Project Orbion will capture and refresh data about Earth, fast. The technology could have uses in government, business, and more. Move ...

Imagine a planet much like Earth, except instead of green trees dotting its swaths of land, two species of flowers—black daisies and white daisies—are the dominant plant life. The flowers are ...
