Gallery: The Most Stunning Photos of Fireworks Don’t Have a Lick of Color

The new image isn’t just stunning—it may also provide clues about how this star survived its own explosion.

Made up of small fragments left behind by Halley’s Comet, these meteors are known for being especially bright and speedy.

The cloud has baffled astronomers since its discovery in 2018. Now, a new study offers a possible cause for its appearance.

The Webb telescope sees tiny red dots everywhere. Astronomers can’t agree on what they are, but some believe they may be enormous stars with black holes inside.

“Detecting a neutrino is like looking for a needle in a haystack,” says Juan Carlos Díaz Vélez, who breaks down why researchers are looking for the cosmic particles under the Antarctic ice.

A global network of detectors are reporting some of the most substantial measurements yet of neutrinos created deep underground by the radioactive elements that power our planet’s tectonic activity.

These elusive and reactive particles have been challenging to hold on to and even more challenging to study, but a new method paves the way for tests on the differences between matter and antimatter.

Inspired by head-banging woodpeckers, Vancouver-based Pikio Labs has discovered a new approach to skull protection.

Optogenetics revolutionized neuroscience, but its origins come from an entirely brainless organism—an alga.

The metric might not mean much to laypeople, but leap seconds have been a source of contention in the timekeeping community for years. Now, they’re dead.
