Researchers have uncovered evidence for our sun joining a mass migration of similar "twins" leaving the core regions of our galaxy, 4 to 6 billion years ago. The team created and studied an ...

A visitor from another star system is creating excitement in the astronomy community. The comet 3I/ATLAS which was first spotted in July 2025 contains chemical clues that scientists can use to ...

The Gaia telescope spotted more than 6,000 sunlike stars, all of which appear to have migrated from the galaxy's center more than 4 billion years ago. When you purchase through links on our site, we ...

New SETI research suggests space weather like solar winds could be interfering with alien radio signals, making them harder ...

Scientists are scrambling to explain why interstellar visitor 3I/ATLAS is carrying life's chemical building blocks at concentrations never before seen, and it makes its final pass through our cosmic n ...

Radio silence has long puzzled those searching for extraterrestrial intelligence, but the answer might lie much closer to the source of potential signals than previously thought. Conditions around ...

Sandra Hüller also stars in Phil Lord and Christopher Miller’s sci-fi epic based on the Andy Weir novel about a science teacher who finds an unusual ally in a mission to save two worlds.

Project Hail Mary' is a smart piece of sci-fi filmmaking anchored by a reliably charismatic Ryan Gosling becoming best buds with an alien spider-rock.

Comets are often treated as leftovers, but sometimes the leftovers become the primary focus. That is the case with 3I/ATLAS, only the third known interstellar object seen crossing the solar system, ...

The researchers who scan the skies for radio signals from extraterrestrials are now rethinking their approach.

A new study shows that stars with low magnetic activity are likely to support exoplanetary systems, making the hunt for these ...

Stellar plasma can smear alien radio signals before they escape their star system, making them harder for astronomers to detect.
