8–11 minutesNASA’s New Telescope Could Reveal 100,000 Hidden Worlds at Once
Every planet ever confirmed outside our solar system was found one at a time. The NASA Roman Space Telescope is about to change that — discovering an estimated 100,000 exoplanets in a single mission, rewriting the map of the galaxy, and answering questions about dark energy that have stumped physics for decades.

7–11 minutesPlanet Nine Mystery Just Got Darker — And Nobody Knows What’s Out There
There may be a planet the size of several Earths sitting in our own solar system — undetected, orbiting in complete darkness, unknown to science for the entirety of human civilization. New 2026 data was supposed to settle the question of whether Planet Nine exists. Instead, it made the mystery considerably darker. Read more

The Great Attractor — Something Is Pulling Our Entire Galaxy and Nobody Knows What It Is
Something is dragging the Milky Way through space at 600 kilometres per second — and it isn’t the universe’s expansion. It’s a gravitational anomaly called the Great Attractor, 150 million light-years away, containing the mass of tens of thousands of galaxies. We can’t see it directly. Our own galaxy is blocking the view. Read more

5–8 minutesThe Planet That Should Not Exist — But Does
Somewhere in the galaxy, a planet is orbiting its star backwards. Another is being slowly eaten alive, pulled apart in real time. A third formed inside a pulsar’s radiation field — a place where nothing should survive. These are not theories. They are confirmed worlds that broke every rule planetary science thought it had.

4–5 minutesThe Moon Is Drifting Away From Earth — Here’s What Happens When It’s Gone
The Moon is moving away from Earth right now — 3.8 centimetres every year, confirmed by Apollo-era laser reflectors. It’s been drifting since the day it formed. And the planet it is slowly leaving behind would be almost unrecognisable without it. The stranger truth is: it may never actually leave. Read more

6–9 minutesWhat Happened in the First Second After the Big Bang?
The Big Bang gets all the credit. But the first second after it is where everything was actually decided — the forces, the particles, the razor-thin margin that chose matter over nothingness. Everything that exists, including you, was determined in less time than a heartbeat. Here’s what really happened. Read more

7–11 minutesFalling Into a Black Hole Experience: What Would You Actually See?
You’ve crossed the event horizon. Nothing exploded. No alarm sounded. From your perspective, the most catastrophic boundary in the universe looked unremarkable. But from a safe distance, your friend watched you freeze, fade, and never arrive. The falling into a black hole experience is two completely different stories — and physics tells both in perfect,… Read more

8–12 minutesThe Cosmic Void So Large It Challenges Everything We Know About the Universe
There is a place in the universe 330 million light-years wide where almost nothing exists. No stars, no galaxies, no dark matter — just space. It is called the Boötes cosmic void, and its existence, according to our best models of how the universe works, should be essentially impossible. Here is what it means that… Read more

7–10 minutesThe Fermi Paradox: Where Is Everybody?
The Fermi Paradox poses a haunting cosmic question: if the universe contains billions of galaxies and potentially habitable planets, why haven’t we found evidence of alien civilizations? From the mysterious Great Filter to the vast distances between stars, scientists continue searching for answers hidden within the universe’s unsettling silence. Read more

6–8 minutesJames Webb Telescope Unveils Secrets of the Universe’s First Stars
The James Webb Space Telescope is pushing humanity’s view deeper into cosmic history, revealing clues about the universe’s first stars. By detecting faint infrared light from ancient galaxies, astronomers are uncovering how the earliest stellar generations formed, evolved, and shaped the chemical foundations that later allowed galaxies, planets, and life itself to emerge.
