Cosmology and quantum physics both offer tantalizing possibilities that we inhabit just one reality among many. But testing ...

New experiments reveal that protein precursors can form naturally in deep space under extreme cold and radiation. Scientists ...

A study involving quantum collapse model has shown that time is not uniform but has tiny fluctuations that put limits on its ...

Most of the exoplanets we’ve discovered have been in relatively tight orbits around their host stars, allowing us to track them as they repeatedly loop around them. But we’ve also discovered a handful ...

The time is ripe to end the “Wolf Amendment,” a congressional bar inhibiting civil collaboration between the United States and China in space. The impetus for the law was noble — an attempt to ...

It was almost 100 years ago that Clyde W. Tombaugh discovered Pluto. That was the last planet found until 1992, when humans found another one. But this new planet wasn't in our solar system—it was ...

Clocks on Mars tick faster by about 477 microseconds each Earth day, a new study suggests. This difference is significantly more than that for our moon, posing potential challenges for future crewed ...

SPHERE’s detailed images of dusty rings around young stars offer a rare glimpse into the hidden machinery of planet formation. These bright arcs and faint clouds reveal where tiny planet-building ...

Chris Impey has received funding from NASA, NSF, Howard Hughes Medical Institute, and the Templeton Foundation. If you look across space with a telescope, you’ll see countless galaxies, most of which ...

Ask someone on Earth for the time and they can give you an exact answer, thanks to our planet’s intricate timekeeping system, built with atomic clocks, GPS satellites and high-speed telecommunications ...

110 years ago today, Albert Einstein published his General Theory of Relativity, which redefined the relationship between matter and gravity. Suddenly, our mysterious universe made a little more sense ...
