A key discovery from NASA’s Cassini mission in 2008 was that Saturn’s largest moon Titan may have a vast water ocean below its hydrocarbon-rich surface. But

Saturn's giant moon Titan may not have a vast underground ocean after all. New research suggests Titan instead may hold deep layers of ice and slush more akin to Earth's polar seas instead of a buried ocean as long suspected. In a study published Wednesday, s…

A long-standing physics mystery has been solved with the discovery of emergent photon-like behavior inside a strange quantum material. The finding confirms a true 3D quantum spin liquid and unlocks a new way to study deeply entangled matter.

NASA reveals the aftermath of a massive impact on Mars with an incredible new image.

One of the best visualizations ever produced of the spectrum of light from our glorious Sun reveals some mysterious holes in its array of colors.

The Soyuz launched on Nov. 27, 2025 from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.

By tracking brain activity as primates move freely in the wild, neuroethology could reshape what we think we know about our own minds.

The discovery of a hidden supermassive black hole inside an ancient galaxy suggests that some of our universe's most extreme objects could be invisible unless observed in infrared wavelengths, James Webb telescope observations reveal.

Or is it all make-baleen?

For the first time, researchers in China have demonstrated a high-temperature superconducting diode effect, which allows a supercurrent to flow in both directions. Published in Nature Physics, the team's result could help address the noisy signals that pose a…

Scientists investigating an ancient mystery have uncovered the first evidence that a Bronze Age strain of plague infected livestock, not just humans. During the Middle Ages, a devastating outbreak of plague wiped out roughly one-third of Europe’s population. …

Wednesday, Dec. 17, 2025: Your daily feed for the holiday flyby of interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS by Earth.

New 3D models uncover hidden heat beneath Greenland, linking deep Earth processes to ice sheet behavior and future sea level change. A team led by scientists at the University of Ottawa has produced high-resolution 3-D maps of temperatures deep beneath Greenl…

Astronomers call them LFBOTs—rare and powerful bursts of blue light that shine across billions of light-years and then vanish in just a few days.

Can the letter writer find middle ground with ex-wife who tracks their teen boys’ locations?

Discoveries on the list include a lost medieval village and a hillfort possibly attacked by the Romans.

Winds, waves, and ice near a remote town on the Chukchi Peninsula have sculpted a series of coastal inshore lagoons that resemble an icon of winter.

Particles from Earth’s atmosphere may be preserved in the Moon's soil, offering a long-term record of Earth’s atmospheric history.

The lunar impact flash - an explosion of light caused by something hitting the Moon's surface - was captured on Friday.

In one study, these particles from high-altitude wildfire smoke created a dramatic cooling effect not accounted for in current climate models.

An international team of astronomers using NASA’s IXPE (Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer) has identified the origin of X-rays in a supermassive black hole’s

The CRASH Clock is a new metric for measuring the risks of satellite congestion in low-Earth orbit. Its calculations are disturbing.

A solar storm could knock out navigation and communications systems, caushing satellites to crash into each other.

"Ultimately, this work may help scientists better predict the impact of space weather across the solar system on longer timescales than currently possible."
