Meteorite That Crashed Into A Home In The US Is Older Than Earth, Study Finds
The meteorite, which formed 4.56 billion years ago, is approximately 20 million years older than Earth.

NASA Shares New Details About Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS That's Hurtling Towards Earth
Hubble also captured a dust plume ejected from the Sun-warmed side of the comet and a hint of a dust tail streaming away from the nucleus.

Habitable Zone Explained: The ‘Goldilocks Zone’ Where Life-Friendly Planets May Exist
The habitable zone, or “Goldilocks zone”, is the region around a star where conditions allow liquid water to exist. Varying with star type, this zone is key in the search for life. Earth’s location in the Sun’s habitable zone has made life possible, and astronomers seek similar rocky exoplanets in other systems to explore the possibility of...

Astronauts Return To Earth With SpaceX After 5 Months At International Space Station
Four astronauts returned to Earth on Saturday after hustling to the International Space Station five months ago to relieve the stuck test pilots of Boeing's Starliner.

SpaceX's Crew-10 Astronauts Begin Return Journey To Earth
The capsule's dizzying drop back down to Earth will be slowed when it re-enters Earth -- and then again by huge parachutes to soften its landing.

Scientists Make 'Alien' Diamond On Earth, Harder Than Anything Found In Nature
Chinese researchers have successfully synthesized a rare form of diamond found in meteorites, known as hexagonal diamond, in a laboratory setting.

Hubble Takes Best Picture Yet Of Comet From Another Solar System
The Hubble Space Telescope has captured the best picture yet of a high-speed comet visiting our solar system from another star.

Get Ready For The Most Epic Meteor Show Of The Year: Perseids Peak In August
The Perseids meteor shower, peaking in mid-August, is a spectacular celestial display caused by Earth passing through the debris trail of comet 109P/Swift-Tuttle, producing swift and bright meteors visible in the Northern Hemisphere.

Earth’s Oldest Impact Crater Turns Out to Be Much Younger, Scientists Reveal in New Study
The Miralga impact crater in Western Australia, once thought to be Earth’s oldest at 3.5 billion years, has now been redated to after 2.7 billion years ago. With a revised diameter of just 16 kilometers, the structure no longer supports theories of early crust or life formation, but remains scientifically valuable for studying Mars-like planetary...

NASA's TRACERS Satellites Begin Solar Wind Study Despite SV1 Glitch
NASA launched its twin TRACERS satellites on July 23, 2025, to study how solar wind causes magnetic reconnection in Earth's magnetosphere. However, a power issue on one spacecraft, SV1, has caused intermittent communication. Engineers believe the issue relates to sunlight availability on its solar panels and plan recovery efforts in August. Meanwhi...

Scientists Explore Role of Space Radiation in Powering Alien Microbial Life
A new study proposes that life may exist far from sunlight in a “radiolytic habitable zone” deep beneath the icy surfaces of Mars, Europa, and Enceladus. Cosmic rays, which can penetrate rock and ice, break water molecules apart to release hydrogen, oxygen, and energy-rich electrons. These can fuel microbes in subsurface water, much like bacter...
