SpaceX’s third Falcon Heavy launch is ready to wow crowds once more with a synchronized side booster landing at Cape Canaveral and a center core recovery attempt more than 1200 km (750 mi) off the coast of Florida. Based on the fact that Falcon Heavy’s STP…

SpaceX has soared through the first major half of its third Falcon Heavy launch, heading through ignition, liftoff, recovery, and orbital insertion with relative ease. However, Falcon Heavy center core B1057 sadly suffered an unknown anomaly during landing…

Some 12 hours after Falcon Heavy successfully completed what Elon Musk described as the SpaceX’s “most difficult launch ever”, the CEO took to Twitter to offer some insight into the mission’s only sad note – an unsuccessful center core recovery attempt. The…

A famous result in psychology says that people fail to intervene when they see people in violent situations, but a review of CCTV footage finds that isn't true

The stars are ours.

Dragonfly mission will search for the primordial ingredients of life

Every now and again, our radio telescopes capture a mystery. A single flash, as powerful in radio wavelengths as half-a-billion Suns, condensed into a burst that lasts just a few milliseconds at most. Now, for the very first time, astrophysici

Scientists have long speculated that at the heart of a gas giant, the laws of material physics undergo some radical changes. In these kinds of extreme pressure environments, hydrogen gas is compressed to the point that it actually becomes a metal.

Things would be a lot simpler.

For the first time, scientists have used artificial intelligence to create complex, three-dimensional simulations of the Universe. It's called the Deep Density Displacement Model, or D3M, and it's so fast and so accurate that the astrophysicists wh

Around a young star not far from Earth, a broad disc of dust swirls. This is the stuff that planets are made of - and astronomers think a huge clump spotted and photographed in the outer edge of the disc is in the early stages of becoming one.

There's something about Jupiter that mesmerizes those who gaze at it. It's intricate, dazzling clouds are a visual representation of the laws of nature that are hard to turn away from.

Super-Massive Black Holes (SMBH) are hard to explain. These gargantuan singularities are thought to be at the center of every large galaxy (our Milky Way has one) but their presence there sometimes defies easy explanation.

Interstellar object 'Oumuamua - that strange, cigar-shaped chunk of rock from somewhere a vast distance beyond the Solar System - is, new research has concluded, absolutely, positively not an alien spaceship.

Unlike anything we've seen before.

They're some of the most mysterious and powerful events in space, and we don't know what causes them – but in a major feat, astronomers have just traced another weird signal to its source.
