They did not find any; but as PhD researcher Louisa Mason told IFLScience, "My work at the moment is less about looking if aliens are sending messages and more about thinking about how we use these ...

Milky Way disk flip simulations from Durham University's NAM 2026 presentation show the Milky Way's galactic disk flipped more than 90 degrees after a head-on collision with the Gaia-Sausage-Enceladus ...

We're now three weeks out from the peak of the Perseids, and based on the timing of the Moon's phases, this is setting up to ...

Although general relativity (GR) is an elegant theory of gravity, we don't often need to use it. For most gravitational ...

This simulation explores what could happen if a wandering black hole entered our solar system and reached the Sun within 95 ...

The Milky Way may not always have faced the same direction. New simulations suggest its stellar disc could have swung through ...

Chondrite meteorite origin upended by July 2026 Science Advances study: SwRI researchers show the most common meteorites ...

Seriously, I'm sorry I had a gazillion browser tabs open alongside several hours' worth of unsaved work. Please don't crash. Please. Reading time 2 minutes Computers: in this day and age we pretty ...

For most of human history, our view of “close to the Sun” was defined by the orbit of Mercury, with its 88-day orbit and barren, baking surface. But from the moment we started discovering exoplanets, ...

Imagine a world the size of Neptune, but instead of following the orderly path of its neighbors, it is racing headlong against the flow of its own solar system. In the case of the exoplanet TOI-1710 b ...

Abstract: In this contribution, the optimal stabilization problem of periodic orbits is studied via invariant manifold theory and symplectic geometry. The stable manifold theory for the optimal point ...

New measurements of radio galaxies reveal that the solar system is racing through the universe at over three times the speed predicted by standard cosmology. Using highly sensitive data from multiple ...
