Astronomers have discovered a new object that originated outside of our Solar System — only the third to be found.

Dive into Rubin's Cosmic Treasure Chest — there's so much to explore

Using the XMM-Newton telescope, astronomers have discovered a vast 23 million light-year-wide tendril connecting galactic clusters and containing much of the universe's missing matter.

Honda Global - Honda R&D Co., Ltd., a research and development subsidiary of Honda Motor Co., Ltd., today conducted a launch and landing test of an experimental reusable rocket*1 (6.3 m in length, 85 cm in diameter, 900 kg dry weight/1,312 kg wet weight) developed independently by Honda. The test was completed successfully, the first time Honda landed a rocket after reaching an altitude of 300 meters.

A robotic lunar lander built by Texas-based Firefly has successfully landed on the moon, becoming only the second private-sector company ever to complete such a feat.

One of the central predictions of general relativity is that a massive object such as a star, galaxy, or black hole can deflect light passing nearby. This means that light from distant objects can be gravitationally lensed by objects closer to us. Under the right conditions, gravitational lensing can act as a kind of natural telescope, brightening and magnifying the light of distant objects. Astronomers have used this trick to observe some of the most distant galaxies in the universe. But astronomers have also thought about using this effect a little closer to home.

An imposing NASA probe scheduled to lift off as Australia sleeps might take the first real step toward finding out if anywhere else in our solar system could support life.

A new way of thinking about the history of the Earth.
