Gallery: Join Archaeologists as They Unearth Denmark’s Lost Castles

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

Under 1 million years old, “Elias 2-24b” is now the youngest exoplanet ever observed, and it may force researchers to reevaluate theories about how planets are formed.

JAXA is leading an international mission to reach Mars’ Phobos moon and bring soil back to Earth. If successful, it could unlock new clues about the history of the solar system.

Lying beyond Pluto, 2026 ED138 could be as large as 1,500 kilometers in diameter. Astronomers are still working to confirm whether it meets the criteria for a dwarf planet.

“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.

Researchers took lessons from nocturnal animals to help rescue drones overcome a key challenge: flying in the dark.

Ancient plants reveal that the vestiges of the North American ice sheet started expanding a few thousand years ago, but that climate change caused it to reverse course.

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

Scientists left structures up to 100 meters under the surface. Here’s what they found when they retrieved them 10 years later.

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