Astronomers have puzzled for years over a strange pattern in the outer solar system. A surprising number of icy bodies far beyond Neptune resemble snowmen, made of two rounded lobes stuck together.

Out in the Kuiper Belt, the massive doughnut of debris beyond Neptune, about one in 10 kilometer-scale objects have surprised scientists with their unexpected shape. Rather than resembling a ball, ...

Anthropic reveals Claude AI generated blackmail and violent scenarios during shutdown simulations. What it means for AI safety and global risks.

In this video, we use Python lists to simulate many projectile motion balls at once, showing how to store positions, velocities, and update motion over time. Learn a simple, scalable approach to run ...

The comet is the third object ever confirmed to have entered our cosmic neighborhood from elsewhere in the galaxy. Space telescopes and orbiters have been documenting the rare visit. A mysterious ...

On Oct. 29, at the same time 3I/ATLAS achieved perihelion, astrophotographer Dan Bartlett snapped a stunning shot of C/2025 K1 from June Lake in California. The image shows the comet with a distinct ...

An interstellar object known as 3I/ATLAS has gathered a significant amount of attention in the planetary science sphere, and soon it will reach its closest point to the sun. 3I/ATLAS is the third-ever ...

The search for an unknown planet in our solar system has inspired astronomers for more than a century. Now, a recent study suggests a potential new candidate, which the paper’s authors have dubbed ...

A mysterious object hurtling through space has been identified as a rare “interstellar object,” only the third of its kind ever seen. In July, NASA reported its ATLAS (Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last ...

Astronomers have uncovered a massive new trans-Neptunian object, 2017 OF201, lurking at the edge of our solar system. With an orbit stretching 25,000 years and a size that may qualify it as a dwarf ...
