Search for Life

In a remarkable observation, astronomers have detected a unique pattern in a repeating "fast radio burst" (FRB) that defies current understanding.

Gliese 710, also known as HIP 89825, is a 0.6 M☉ orange star in the constellation Serpens Cauda. It is expected to pass close to the Sun in approximately 1.29 million years, at a minimum distance of 0.1663 light-years (10,520 astronomical units) (about 160 billion km) – roughly 1/25th of the present distance to Proxima Centauri.

China made history by landing its Change-4 spacecraft on the moon's far side. The mission was also the first to experiment with growing plants on the moon, and it transported a mini-biosphere dubbed the Lunar Micro Ecosystem to the lunar surface (LME). 

The Kepler mission discovered a planet orbiting the star KOI-3010 using the transit method.

Studies suggest that before our universe, another, previous cosmos existed. They refer to this process as a kind of perpetual cosmic cycle.

In a groundbreaking study, NASA has expanded the search for extraterrestrial life by identifying 17 exoplanets that may harbor oceans of liquid water beneath their icy surfaces.

In a groundbreaking study utilizing data from NASA's Cassini mission, scientists have made a significant discovery at Saturn's icy moon Enceladus, finding evidence of a key ingredient for life and a potent source of energy to fuel it.

Voyager 1, which has been a cornerstone in our understanding of the outer reaches of the Solar System, is now experiencing communication issues that have left NASA engineers grappling with a complex problem billions of miles away.

Scientists have warned that the planets in our solar system might crash if Neptune's orbit is altered by only 0.1 percent by a passing star.
