A new timelapse shows the stunning views of Earth that four astronauts got during their historic moon journey last month.
A small selection of the 12,000 photos released from the Artemis 2 archive earlier this month showcases satellites, auroras, and our Earth in day and night views, as captured by the crew.
The timelapse video at first shows our lit-up planet sweeping slowly into view in front…
New James Webb Space Telescope images reveal how massive star clusters can reshape galaxies
May 12, 2026
Astronomers have captured an extraordinary new look at the hidden birthplaces of star clusters, uncovering fresh clues about how galaxies evolve — and how young planets may be shaped by their stellar environments.

Dante’s famous 14th century epic poem, “Inferno,” which is the first part of the Italian writer’s “Divine Comedy,” represents the first time a giant impact of a massive object falling from the heavens was envisaged, according to an expert in the specialized field…
Using NASA data and machine learning, scientists have found over 10,000 possible new planets in a single survey.
In a new study, researchers used machine learning to perform a sweeping survey of data from NASA’s exoplanet-hunting Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS). As a result, they and uncovered exactly 10,091 candidate planets that had never been seen before. To clarify, when…

Here's what 6 years of driving on Mars did to the wheels on NASA's Curiosity rover (video)
May 8, 2026
A new time-lapse video from NASA’s Curiosity rover reveals years of punishing Martian travel, as its wheels churn steadily across the Red Planet’s rugged terrain.
The video, captured by Curiosity’s right navigation camera, compresses more than six years of driving into about two minutes. Spanning from early 2020 to 2026, the footage looks back over the rover’s deck as its aluminum wheels…
Scientists have discovered that the universe’s most massive black holes may form in the densest of stellar environments, or so-called globular clusters. It is in these clusters where violent collisions are common, suggesting a chaotic new origin for these cosmic titans of…
After “re-booting” the moon and establishing a base there, followed by dispatching expeditionary crews to Mars, where should humanity go?
Next month, a first-of-its-kind gathering will blueprint an eventual crewed trek to tantalizing Titan, the largest of Saturn’s…
Nikon Action 7x50 binoculars review
May 7, 2026
The Nikon Action range is a new line of binoculars from the optics giant, released in March 2026 to take over from the company’s now-discontinued Aculon range, which some users felt was plasticky and didn’t have enough eye relief. They can also be seen as a cheaper alternative to the Action Extreme range, which, while waterproof, are a lot heavier and cost more due to their enhanced…
