Space is getting crowded — nowadays, over 45,000 human-made objects orbit Earth. A portion of that figure is indeed ...

Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory creates a cislunar orbit map to help predict satellite stability and improve collision avoidance in increasingly crowded Earth orbits.

Astronomers are closing in on what looks like a colossal missing piece of the Solar System, a giant planet that appears to lurk far beyond Neptune and tug subtly on everything around it. The suspected ...

Jupiter’s swirling storms have concealed its true makeup for centuries, but a new model is finally peeling back the clouds. Researchers found the planet likely holds significantly more oxygen than the ...

Spiderling Studios has revealed The Broken Beyond, the latest expansion for destructo-sandbox Besiege, and it's taking you ...

If 2024 YR4 strikes the Moon in 2032, we could not only witness the event, but also meteor storms like nothing we've ever ...

Astronomers have uncovered a distant planetary system that flips a long-standing rule of planet formation on its head. Around the small red dwarf star LHS 1903, scientists expected to find rocky ...

Their observations of a faint, cool M-dwarf star called LHS 1903 revealed a system with a rocky world at its outer edge. LHS ...

Discover the fascinating journey of a planet that orbits a black hole. This video delves into the dynamics of celestial mechanics, showcasing how gravitational forces shape the movement of planets in ...

Satellites and spacecraft in the vast region between Earth and the moon and just beyond—called cislunar space—are crucial for ...

General relativity helps explain the lack of planets around tight binary stars by driving orbital resonances that eject or destroy close-in worlds. This process naturally creates a “desert” of ...

A global team of astronomers, led by the University of Warwick, have used a European Space Agency (ESA) telescope to discover ...
