Newest Starlink satellites are leaking even more radiation than their predecessors — and could soon disrupt astronomy
A new study reveals that Generation 2 Starlink satellites are leaking up to 30 times more radio waves than their predecessors. If SpaceX continues to deploy the newer versions as planned, we could reach an "inflection point" where astronomers can no longer properly study the cosmos, researchers warn.
Early galaxies weren't mystifyingly massive after all, James Webb Space Telescope finds
'The bottom line is, there is no crisis in terms of the standard model of cosmology.
Why is everything in space always moving?
From the moment of the Big Bang, everything in the universe has kept moving, but why is that?
AI uncovers the universe's 'settings' with unprecedented precision, and it could help to resolve the Hubble tension
The new AI system can estimate cosmological parameters with stunning precision, and it could help astronomers unpick one of the thorniest problems in the field.
The Higgs particle could break physics throughout the universe. Here's why it hasn't.
The elusive Higgs particle has the power to undo physics as we know it. The fact that it hasn't could have big implications about the nature of the universe.
How many galaxies are in the universe?
If we can see at most 3% of the universe, how can we estimate the total number of galaxies in it?
Minerals evolve under pressure in the same way life does, researchers find
Researchers say they've discovered evidence for the recently proposed 'law of increasing functional information' by proving that minerals evolve as life does.
The unexpected behavior of pulsing stars could help us measure the universe
New research offers the most precise measurements yet of pulsating Cepheid stars, which could reveal new clues about the immense size and scale of our universe.
5 space discoveries that scientists are struggling to explain
From "runaway" black holes shooting across the cosmos to secret planets in our own backyard, space is overrun with mysterious objects that scientists are clamoring to explain. Here are five of the strangest sights in the universe, as well as their possible origins.
Scientists may have finally solved the problem of the universe’s 'missing' black holes
Primordial black holes are one of the strongest candidates for the universe's missing dark matter. But a new theory suggests that not enough of the miniature black holes formed for this to be the case.
