Illustration of Sagittarius A* at the center of the Milky Way, where astronomers believe the IRS 13 star cluster may have carved a mini-cavity in surrounding gas.

Forget about epic explosions: just 300 years ago, a swarm of hyper-powerful stars would have left a perfect crater next to the central black hole… and today, astronomers see it as a kind of space graffiti that’s still smoldering

NASA’s Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory orbits Earth as the agency prepares a robotic mission to raise the aging space telescope into a higher orbit.

NASA is launching its wildest plan since “Apollo 13”: launching a Pegasus rocket from the air, releasing the LINK spacecraft into the middle of the Pacific, and catching the veteran Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory before it crashes like a burning hunk of scrap metal onto your roof

NASA’s Cold Atom Lab aboard the International Space Station, where ultracold atoms are used to study quantum physics in microgravity.

The microwave-sized mini-refrigerator floating 400 km above Earth has just put atoms into “ghost mode” at –273 °C, and NASA scientists believe this experiment could equip future rockets with a “galactic GPS” that not even errors in solar signals could throw off course

Artist’s concept of the giant exoplanet HD 80606 b heating up as it swings close to its star

The Webb telescope captures a “roasting” exoplanet: 4,900°F, clouds of glass, and an atmosphere of vaporized metal on a world that is boiling just a hair’s breadth from its star

Dense view of Terzan 5 showing tightly packed stars in the Milky Way bulge

NASA’s Webb and Hubble teamed up on Terzan 5, and the detail that matters is that they proved it isn’t a globular star cluster at all but a surviving relic from the Milky Way’s earliest formation

Bald eagle walking on roadside instead of flying showing unusual behavior after injury

Some workers were laying asphalt right in the middle of the road in Logan Township when, suddenly, they saw the national bald eagle fly by; it had a few burns, but what really impressed them was what happened next

Exceptionally preserved Ice Age cave lion remains recovered from Siberian permafrost for ancient DNA analysis.

A cub named Sparta, which remained frozen in the permafrost for 32,000 years, provides virtually intact DNA and confirms that cave lions constituted a distinct lineage, with brain, visual, and circulatory traits, that never set foot on the African savanna
