Scientists finally solved the long-lasting mystery of the missing ordinary matter of the cosmos.

Fomalhaut b, an exoplanet located only 25 lightyears from Earth in the constellation Piscis Australis, apparently disappeared from sight when astronomers recently tried to observe it using the Hubble Space Telescope. Its disappearance has scientists baffled while they look for an explanation.

The planet was hidden in early data from the Kepler space telescope.

Scientists developed a new method of measuring wind speeds on distant objects, which can potentially also be used to learn about the atmospheres of gaseous exoplanets

Scientists discovered organic compounds that could have been created by microbial life on Mars.

A team of astronomers detected a bizarre, ultra-hot exoplanet where temperatures can reach well above two thousand degrees Celsius. Scientists speculate that it can actually rain liquid iron there

It looks like future astronauts will not have to live on pre-packaged space rations alone

A University of Cambridge research team studied the exoplanet and found promising results concerning its habitability.

Astronomers discovered a record-breaking eruption, the largest explosion in the universe since the Big Bang

MIT researchers devised a step-by-step plan to help scientists make the right decisions in time to prevent a potentially catastrophic collision.

When thinking about materials to use for constructing settlements on the moon or Mars, most people will probably picture some sort of metal. Scientists at NASA are currently considering to take off-world habitat building in an entirely different direction.

If we discovered evidence of alien life, would we even realize it? Life on other planets could be so different from what we’re used to that we might not recognize any biological signatures that it produces.

In the upcoming 50 years, humankind will attempt to answer fundamental questions about the universe and the fundamentals of our existence: Is there life on exoplanets? Is there extraterrestrial life in our solar system? Where has all the antimatter in the universe gone? - Robin Smith explains what we can expect

Scientists discovered hydrated silica in the Jezero crater on Mars, a spot where NASA plans to land its next Mars rover in 2020. The Rover is intended to search for signs of past life on the neighboring terrestrial planet.
