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

3–5 minutesWhy the Sun’s Atmosphere Is Hotter Than Its Surface (And Nobody Knows Why)
The Sun’s surface sits at 5,500°C. Step away into its outer atmosphere and the temperature doesn’t drop — it explodes to 2 million degrees. This breaks thermodynamics as we know it. Why the sun’s corona is hotter than its surface has stumped scientists for over 80 years. Here’s how close we are to an answer. 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 minutesOumuamua Interstellar Object: The Visitor That Broke Every Rule We Had
In 2017, astronomers caught something from outside our solar system mid-exit — tumbling, accelerating without explanation, shaped like nothing natural should be, and gone before anyone could get a proper look. The Oumuamua interstellar object still has no satisfying explanation. And the data, if anything, keeps getting stranger. Read more

6–10 minutesWow Signal Explanation: The 72-Second Transmission That Still Has No Answer
On August 15, 1977, a radio telescope recorded a 72-second signal from deep space so precisely structured that the researcher who found it circled it and wrote one word: Wow! Nearly five decades later, no one has explained it. Not convincingly. Not completely. The signal came once — and the silence since has been deafening. 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
