The interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS arrived looking like a routine icy visitor and then promptly started shredding the rulebook ...

A 'boom' of light that appears when a particle exceeds the speed of light set by a medium could, in other contexts, signal a ...

Flashes like Cherenkov radiation in space may reveal negative-energy ghosts, hinting at gaps in gravity theories.

Five years after the collapse of the Arecibo Observatory telescope — the world’s largest single-dish radio telescope until 2016, when China completed a larger one — space physicist Qihou Zhou is ...

UPDATE: IMAP successfully launched around 7:30 a.m. Eastern Time on Sept. 24. On Wednesday, Sept. 24, a scientific instrument from Colorado is scheduled to launch into space from NASA’s Kennedy Space ...
