What if the Big Bang wasn't the beginning? New research suggests it may have taken place inside a black hole
Was the Big Bang really the beginning of the universe, or are we 'bouncing' between periods of expansion and contraction? A new theory makes testable predictions.
Giant planet discovered around tiny star challenges our best theories
Scientists have discovered a giant planet called TOI-6894b, orbiting a star that should be far too small to have formed it. The discovery could further challenge theories of planet formation.
An 'invisible threat': Swarm of hidden 'city killer' asteroids around Venus could one day collide with Earth, simulations show

Solar 'cannonballs' may have stripped Mars of its water, study reveals
After nearly a decade in orbit, NASA's MAVEN spacecraft has, for the first time, directly observed the process that scientists had long suspected was responsible for stripping Mars of its atmosphere.
Facing steep funding cuts, scientists propose using black holes as particle colliders
New calculations have revealed that the super-energetic jets produced by spinning black holes could be a source for elusive dark matter particles.
When is June's full moon, and why is it called the 'Strawberry Moon'?
June's full 'Strawberry Moon' will be at its fullest on Wednesday, June 11, but that's not the best time to see it.
