For decades, engineers designing space structures have been constrained by the rocket fairing: Only hardware that can be folded up to fit inside can go to orbit. This makes in-space assembly time ...

A famous comet visiting from outside our solar system known as 3I/ATLAS is blazing through our cosmic neighborhood, leaving a striking trail in its wake. A ground telescope in Chile recently glimpsed ...

Comet 3I/ATLAS is just the third observed interstellar object ever witnessed in Earth's solar system. The Gemini South telescope in Chile is the latest observatory to get a glimpse of the object as it ...

Webb, Hubble, and SPHEREx are joining forces to study the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS, revealing details about its structure and chemistry. The comet isn’t dangerous, but it’s offering scientists a ...

Look to the east slightly ahead of dawn on Sept. 2 to catch a fleeting glimpse of fleet-footed Mercury alongside the bright star Regulus, before it becomes lost in the light of the rising sun. Want to ...

One of the advantages of having so many telescopes watching large parts of the sky is that, if astronomers find something interesting, there are probably images of it from before it was officially ...

A newly discovered interstellar comet is puzzling astronomers as it speeds through our solar system with a chemical profile unlike anything seen before. Officially named 3I/ATLAS, it's only the third ...

LOS ANGELES — The Phoenix Mercury head to California to face the Los Angeles Sparks on Tuesday evening, focusing on consistency in all areas. The Mercury come off a win against the Golden State ...

Bloom patterns could be useful, as engineers build folding structures to send to outer space. They’re also very pretty. Researchers have now found a new class of origami that they call bloom patterns, ...

Last month, astronomers made an exciting discovery, observing an interstellar object — only the third ever observed — hurtling toward the center of the solar system. The object, dubbed 3I/ATLAS, has ...
