Scientists analyzing a gravitational-wave signal have discovered that a neutron star and black hole spiraled together on an oval-shaped orbit just before merging. This unusual motion, detected in the ...

After 14 years in orbit, Nasa’s Van Allen Probe A satellite is expected to re-enter Earth’s atmosphere. How big a threat is ...

A strip of cool water stretches west from South America along the equator, helping set the pace for some of the planet’s most ...

Russia and China can black out military satellites in seconds. A Latvian startup says nuclear-waste generators using 5x less fuel could keep satellites—and lunar bases—running.

A launch vehicle’s ascent battles gravity to gain orbital velocity, while re-entry is a controlled struggle against the atmosphere to systematically shed that immense kinetic energy through ...

The Sun is not nailed to the center of the solar system. It moves, wobbles, and traces a small loop through space, tugged by ...

These provide statistical insights into the collisions between the incredibly compact objects that cause them, whether neutron stars or black holes. The new detections have also allowed us to find ...

Latvia's Deep Space Energy has secured funding from ESA and NATO DIANA to develop high-efficiency radioisotope power tech for ...

Watch the Met Office forecast for the week ahead, as rain and strong winds are predicted for Edinburgh.

The final dance of a black hole and a neutron star before their ultimate merger has been revealed, according to new research.

THE Moon’s “skin” is cracking as Earth’s lunar pal SHRINKS, scientists say. Rather than being a dead rock whizzing around Earth, our neighbouring moon is still active – ...

Scientists have uncovered the first robust evidence of a black hole and neutron star crashing together but orbiting in an ...
