Sending a mission to the solar gravitational lens (SGL) is the most effective way of actually directly imaging a potentially habitable planet, as well as its atmosphere, and even possibly some of its ...

Small but mighty, the red planet — our celestial neighbor — has made Earth’s climate what it is today. Mars’ gravitational pull serves as a stabilizing force for our home’s orbit, tilt and position ...

It was quite a leap. Conspiracy theorists are being brought back down to Earth after NASA scientists debunked a wild claim that the space agency was hiding knowledge about an event that could result ...

A new study suggests Mars's gravitational pull significantly impacts Earth's orbit, driving the intensity of ice ages and warm periods. Learn how planetary cycles control our planet's long-term ...

Gravitational waves from black holes may soon reveal where dark matter is hiding. A new model shows how dark matter surrounding massive black holes leaves detectable fingerprints in the waves recorded ...

When the aliens finally find us, they’ll probably start zapping us to smithereens from something that looks a whole lot like a Lucid Gravity. But this futuristic spaceship of an electric vehicle doesn ...

For close to a century, scientists have been trying to marry Albert Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity and quantum theory—our two best bets on understanding the universe on a macroscopic and ...

Draper took to X, sharing his recent interview on the Founders Room Podcast, in which he talked about the increasing dominance of Bitcoin in the blockchain space. “I think there’s a gravitational pull ...

In early July, astronomers spotted a mysterious object, later dubbed 3I/ATLAS after it was confirmed to be the third-ever interstellar visitor cruising through our solar system. Last week, the object, ...

UW-Milwaukee physics and astronomy assistant professor Lia Medeiros explains gravitational waves and the role UWM played in discovering them. It’s been just over a decade since physicists first ...
