General relativity doesn’t just bend light, it can influence planetary orbits enough to wipe out entire systems.

A young star called V1298 Tau is giving astronomers a front-row seat to the birth of the galaxy’s most common planets. Four massive but extremely low-density worlds orbiting the star appear to be ...

A bus-size asteroid is racing through space on a trajectory that will bring it close to Earth, and NASA is watching it with ...

Astronomers have found thousands of exoplanets around single stars, but few around binary stars—even though both types of stars are equally common. Physicists can now explain the dearth.

Space experts have identified a potentially habitable new planet in the solar system, located around 150 light-years away. Find out more here.

As private constellations expand at unprecedented speed — launching thousands of satellites each year — the governance gap has become a serious problem. What was once the domain of a few national ...

Abstract: The simulation of asteroid orbits requires high-precision numerical integration methods for accuracy. To improve computational efficiency, parallel computing strategies can be introduced ...

The International Space Station is visible from Nevada at certain times. Here’s when to look, where to go and how to track it ...

We review Orbit, a racing game published by Bitewing Games. In Orbit, players compete to visit all planets of the system, ...

Astronomers have discovered a new potentially habitable planet located about 146 light-years from Earth. This was reported on January 29 by The Guardian newspaper.According to the publication, the ...

Dubbed HD 137010 b, the planet might fall just within the outer edges of its star's 'habitable zone', meaning there could be liquid water on its surface and a suitable atmosphere for life.
