*Alien asteroid likely came from a binary star system New research suggests that Oumuamua, the rocky object identified as the first confirmed interstellar asteroid, very likely came from a binary star system. *New details of the alien star system that passed through our solar system A new study has confirmed…
*Steven Hawking’s passing Physicist Steven Hawking dies peacefully at his home aged 76. *Changes in Ceres' Surface Scientists have detected fresh ice on a crater wall on the dwarf planet Ceres. The discovery provides new insights into how materials in Ceres crust are evolving on short timescales. *The star man…
*Ancient relic galaxy uncovered Astronomers using NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope have uncovered an ancient “relic galaxy” in our own cosmic backyard. *Galaxies spinning like clockwork every billion years (PS: If you were a Patreon subscriber you'd be getting bonus interview content with the this story) A new study has discovered…

*Astronomers detect ancient signals from the first stars in the universe Astronomers have for the first time ever detected an - ancient signal from the first stars in the universe. The discovery places the first stars at just 180 million years after the big bang – far earlier than previously…
*The strange dense structure discovered below the South Atlantic Anomaly A strange dense structure has been discovered directly below the South Atlantic Anomaly and just above the Earth’s core mantle boundary. The object may provide important clues about the Earth’s magnetic field and when it’s next likely to reverse polarity.…

*Neutron stars confirmed as sources of ultraluminous X-rays Astronomers have confirmed neutron stars as one of the sources of ultraluminous X rays – powerful beams shining with the light of millions of Suns. The findings have gone some way to solving a long standing galactic mystery. *Evolution of the Milky…

*One of the most massive black holes ever seen Astronomers have discovered what might be some of the biggest supermassive black holes ever seen. The new findings follow observations of 72 galaxies in some of the known universe’s brightest and most massive galaxy clusters. *ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter completes aerobraking…
*Milky Way is as big as Andromeda A new study claims our nearest big neighbour the Andromeda galaxy M-31 and our own galaxy the Milky Way are about the same mass. The findings contradicts earlier studies which concluded that Andromeda was two to three times larger than the Milky Way.…

*Does New Horizon’s next target have a moon? There’s growing speculation that the next target for NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft might be very unusual. *First hints of the quasiparticle Physicists say they’ve found their first tantalizing hints for the existence of quasiparticles called odderons. The findings are based on subatomic…
