We all have a concept of reality. We know what is “fact” and what isn’t. However, the truth of the matter is that the definition of “real” is a mere construct of the brain. If that didn’t blow your ...
"For asteroids of the size scale relevant to planetary defense (i.e., ∼50-500 m), the mass can only be directly measured ...
Ever since the release of the blockbuster Jurassic Park, the Tyrannosaurus rex has been associated with ground shaking tremors as it moved. But in fact, rather than stomping heel-first, the ...
Observations of interstellar object 3I/ATLAS show increased water, carbon dioxide, and organic gas release after its passage near the Sun, based on data from NASA’s SPHEREx mission ...
Only three objects have ever been confirmed to come from outside our Solar System. Each one behaved differently, and none of them fit neatly into existing categories. Their trajectories were clear, ...
Interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS's first reported sighting was on July 1, and it's going to be the closest it's ever been to Earth on Friday. Along the way, it reached several milestones leading up to what ...
The Kuiper belt, a disc of icy rocks on the outermost edges of the solar system, seems to have more structure than we thought. In 2011, researchers found a cluster of objects there on similar orbits ...
A new study has proposed the existence of Planet Y, an alternative Planet Nine candidate that is smaller and closer to Earth than the hypothetical Planet X, which astronomers have been hunting for ...
It's probably a comet, but it might be some sort of ancient alien spacecraft or probe. What's for sure is that the mystery surrounding an object known as 3I/ATLAS is becoming both more and ...
The search for an unknown planet in our solar system has inspired astronomers for more than a century. Now, a recent study suggests a potential new candidate, which the paper’s authors have dubbed ...
A massive comet traveling through the solar system is much larger than previously thought and could be a remnant of alien technology, a scientist claims in a new report. 3I/ATLAS was first identified ...
