AI-Assisted Study Finds No Evidence of Liquid Water in Mars’ Seasonal Dark Streaks
A large-scale AI analysis of more than two million Mars orbiter images shows that the planet’s dark slope streaks form through seasonal dust avalanches, not flowing briny water. The results settle a long-running debate, revealing that wind-driven dust activity shapes Mars’ surface and offering new insights into the planet’s climate past and e...

Two New Exoplanets Found Orbiting a Star in Draco Constellation
Astronomers have identified two exoplanets, TOI-1453 b and TOI-1453 c, orbiting a star 250 light-years away in Draco. The planets, a super-Earth and a sub-Neptune, were detected using NASA’s TESS satellite and the HARPS-N spectrograph. TOI-1453 b is a rocky planet orbiting close to its star, while TOI-1453 c is twice Earth’s size and may have a...

NASA's Curiosity Rover Provides Insights into Mars' Uninhabitable Climate
NASA's Curiosity rover is providing new insights into how Mars transformed from a potentially habitable planet, abundant in liquid water, to the inhospitable landscape seen today. Researchers discovered that carbon-rich minerals found in Gale Crater indicate extreme evaporation and suggest the planet's climate could support only transient liquid wa...

Astronomers Spot Afterglow After Two Giant Planets Collided In Distant Star System
The researchers believe that the wreckage of the collision could eventually cool and form a new planet.

2 New Planets Being Formed Spotted 200 Light Years Away From Earth
The team of researchers initially thought the shadows are being cast by two misaligned disks casting shadows.

Star Wars Celebration 2023: Ahsoka Teaser, Daisy Ridley Returns, Andor Season 2 Release Window, and More
Star Wars Celebration 2023 played host to several new announcements for the future of the galaxy far, far away, across television and movies. The biggest highlights include the first teaser for the Rosario Dawson-led Ahsoka, confirming an August release window on Disney+ and Disney+ Hotstar. Meanwhile, Lucasfilm also confirmed three new Star Wars m...

Pakistan Dressing Room Can't Keep Calm After Sarfaraz Ahmed Hits Century. Watch
A sporting declaration by New Zealand captain Tim Southee on the fourth evening of the 2nd Test against Pakistan set up a grand finish to the match and the series at Lahore. Pakistan came into the final day having lost two wickets without any runs on the board and the target of 319 runs looked a far away planet at that point.

Water Drop Discovered on Ryugu Asteroid Offers Clues to Origins of Life on Earth
A water drop discovered on specks of dust from Ryugu, an asteroid close to Earth, has offered new support for the theory that life on the planet was seeded from outer space. The sample of the asteroid retrieved by the Hayabusa-2 probe has already showed that some of the building blocks of life on Earth, amino acids, may have been formed in space. T...

New Method to Discover Exoplanets Orbiting Violent Dead Stars Suggested by Researchers
Scientists may soon have a new way to detect planets that are orbiting Cataclysmic Variables (CVs), also known as violent stars. One star drawing material from the other, due to the lack of distance, thereby dimming the second star. The researchers measured the changes in the brightness of four CVs — LU Camelopardalis, QZ Serpentis, V1007 Hercul...
