The Leonid meteor shower begins tonight – here’s how to watch the sky’s brilliant show!
It’s that time of year again – the Earth is about to drive through the stream of debris that trails the Tempel-Tuttle comet – and that means METEOR SHOWER! The spectacular Leonid meteor shower will steak meteors from a point just below the head of the constellation Leo, the lion (hence the shower’s name -…
All about NASA’s ambitious Artemis program – how Artemis will take man to the Moon and Mars and back in multiple coordinated stages.
The 250,000 mile trip to the moon is no small feat and the 140-million mile trip to Mars promises to be even tougher. But NASA has a plan formulated to take man to Mars in small steps via a ambitious program called Artemis.
Turns out astronomers choose Hawaii for powerful telescopes because they want to wear shorts and get a good tan.
A new study published in Nature suggests building powerful telescopes in Hawaii and Northern Chile might not be such a great idea.
NASA releases new images that reveal Mars’ rivers in unprecedented detail.
Wow. Check out the picture NASA just released. This photo shows images of a rocky cliff face that was formed by a flowing river more than 3.7 billion years ago. Stunning!
The mystery deepens – event GW190814, 2019’s epic cosmic collision, continues to baffle scientists and may rewrite what we know about black holes.
LIGO researchers released a detailed analysis yesterday regarding the event known as GW198814. The epic cosmic collision was believed to be a collision between a black hole and a neutron star. Now they admit, they don’t know what the heck happened.
Largest solar flare since 2017 has scientists excited that maybe the Sun is entering a new, active cycle.

You know that asteroid that struck the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico and supposedly killed all the dinosaurs? Well it turns out it hit earth at just the right angle for maximum damage.
A new research paper published in Nature journal suggests the asteroid that formed the 66 Ma Chicxulub crater struck earth at just the right angle to create maximum damage. The asteroid’s trajectory was determined by studying “asymmetries int he subsurface structure of the Chicxulub crater” and 3D simulations. According to researchers, the impact direction and…
