NASA's Curiosity Rover Provides Insights into Mars' Uninhabitable Climate
NASA's Curiosity rover is providing new insights into how Mars transformed from a potentially habitable planet, abundant in liquid water, to the inhospitable landscape seen today. Researchers discovered that carbon-rich minerals found in Gale Crater indicate extreme evaporation and suggest the planet's climate could support only transient liquid wa...

Astronomers Spot Afterglow After Two Giant Planets Collided In Distant Star System
The researchers believe that the wreckage of the collision could eventually cool and form a new planet.

2 New Planets Being Formed Spotted 200 Light Years Away From Earth
The team of researchers initially thought the shadows are being cast by two misaligned disks casting shadows.

Star Wars Celebration 2023: Ahsoka Teaser, Daisy Ridley Returns, Andor Season 2 Release Window, and More
Star Wars Celebration 2023 played host to several new announcements for the future of the galaxy far, far away, across television and movies. The biggest highlights include the first teaser for the Rosario Dawson-led Ahsoka, confirming an August release window on Disney+ and Disney+ Hotstar. Meanwhile, Lucasfilm also confirmed three new Star Wars m...

Pakistan Dressing Room Can't Keep Calm After Sarfaraz Ahmed Hits Century. Watch
A sporting declaration by New Zealand captain Tim Southee on the fourth evening of the 2nd Test against Pakistan set up a grand finish to the match and the series at Lahore. Pakistan came into the final day having lost two wickets without any runs on the board and the target of 319 runs looked a far away planet at that point.

Water Drop Discovered on Ryugu Asteroid Offers Clues to Origins of Life on Earth
A water drop discovered on specks of dust from Ryugu, an asteroid close to Earth, has offered new support for the theory that life on the planet was seeded from outer space. The sample of the asteroid retrieved by the Hayabusa-2 probe has already showed that some of the building blocks of life on Earth, amino acids, may have been formed in space. T...

New Method to Discover Exoplanets Orbiting Violent Dead Stars Suggested by Researchers
Scientists may soon have a new way to detect planets that are orbiting Cataclysmic Variables (CVs), also known as violent stars. One star drawing material from the other, due to the lack of distance, thereby dimming the second star. The researchers measured the changes in the brightness of four CVs — LU Camelopardalis, QZ Serpentis, V1007 Hercul...

NASA Confirms Existence of More Than 5,000 Exoplanets Beyond Our Solar System
NASA has said that these exoplanets include small, rocky worlds like Earth and “super Earths” which are larger than our own. There are also gas giants several larger than Jupiter and “mini-Neptunes.” Some of these planets orbit two stars at once and others stubbornly revolve around the collapsed remnants of dead stars.

After NASA Adds 301 New Planets, New UCLA Algorithm Helps Find Another 366 Exoplanets
Just a day after NASA scientists said that they have found 301 new exoplanets, astronomers at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) have stated that they identified 366 new exoplanets using data from the Kepler space telescope.

NASA Uses New Technique to Find a Planet Which Orbits Around Two Different Stars
NASA scientists have found evidence for a new transiting circumbinary planet. The term refers to any planet which orbits around two different stars. The evidence was received using an unprecedented technique.

Astronomers Say Unseen Planet Nine Could Be Brighter, Closer, and Easier To Find
Scientists have long argued there could be a Planet Nine but a definite evidence is yet to be found. Critics assert that finding the planet is unrealistic. A new study by the US-based California Institute of Technology (Caltech) says if the planet is out there, it could be brighter, closer, and easier to find than previously thought.

NASA Announces Two New Missions to Venus, to Launch at the End of Decade
NASA announced two new missions to Venus that will launch at the end of the decade and are aimed at learning how Earth's nearest planetary neighbour became a hellscape while our own thrived.

New Research Says Alien Planet Outside Our Solar System May Hold Possibilities of Life
Ever since K2-18b, a planet outside our solar system was discovered, scientists across the world have taken a keen interest on the planet. But after two different teams last year reported the detection of water vapour in its hydrogen-rich atmosphere, researchers are now edging to find signs of life.

Just 5 Months After Launch, This Telescope Discovers 2 New Planets
A planet-hunting orbital telescope designed to detect worlds beyond our solar system discovered two distant planets this week five months after its launch from Cape Canaveral, Florida, officials said on Thursday.

Planet's Biggest Flooded Cave Discovered In Mexico, Say Explorers
A group of divers has connected two underwater caverns in eastern Mexico to reveal what is believed to be the biggest flooded cave on the planet, a discovery that could help shed new light on the ancient Maya civilization.
