Scientists have discovered more than 6,000 planets beyond our solar system. What if some of them aren't planets at all, but ...
Astronomers have found a massive cloud of metallic winds orbiting a mystery object in space. The cloud was found when ...
The NASA project NEOWISE, which has given astronomers a detailed view of near-Earth objects – some of which could strike the Earth – ended its mission and burned on reentering the atmosphere after ...
Sweeping winds of vaporized metals have been found in a massive cloud that dimmed the light of a star for nearly nine months.
A study published in Science Advances sheds new light on the mysterious origins of free-floating planetary-mass objects (PMOs ...

The Planetary Society continues to fund the search for potentially hazardous comets and asteroids that orbit close to our planet by awarding Gene Shoemaker Near Earth Object Grants to five researchers ...
Astronomers investigating 3I/ATLAS suggest its unique trajectory allows interstellar observers to detect Earth's industrial pollutants through planetary transits, raising questions about potential ...
How do rogue planetary-mass objects -- celestial bodies with masses between stars and planets -- form? An international team of astronomers has used advanced simulations to show that these enigmatic ...
For example, a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) trained on thousands of radar echoes can recognize the unique spatial signature of a small metallic fragment, even when its signal is partially masked ...
A Sun-type star situated nearly 3,000 light-years from Earth has provided astronomers with a unique opportunity to observe an ...
This one-million-year-old star-forming region contains thousands of new stars and hundreds of planetary mass objects floating freely in the nebula, not orbiting stars. A groundbreaking study published ...
