Technology “pollution” threatens astronomy with light from LEDs, satellite, wifi

February 25, 2018 - astronomy operations up to 100 kilometers (62 miles) away. (Related: Google gives driverless cars the green light for business, but are we really ready for AI piloted vehicles on our roads?)The fault in our stars

Astronomers have been looking at solutions to improve the visibility of the skies. The late Jean Heidmann campaigned for the deployment of a telescope on the barren surface of the moon.

More modest proposals include stricter government regulations ...

Why isn’t the #MeToo mob sounding the alarm about Neil deGrasse Tyson, who stands accused of drugging and raping an astronomy student?

December 12, 2018 -

Dating back as far as 2014, Tyson has been the subject of numerous allegations by women who say that he sexually-assaulted them. One woman, Tchiya Amet, who attended graduate school with Tyson, says she was left "traumatized" after Tyson alleged spiked her drink with a date-rape drug before raping her inside his apartment near The University of Texas at Austin.

"I was a grad student in Astronomy at UT Austin, the same time that Mr. Tyson was there," Amet wrote ...

Neil deGrasse Tyson the Bill Cosby of science? He drugged and raped an astronomy student; sexually assaulted two other women, say claims

December 02, 2018 - astronomy 101 if they give you a blow job. No more sexual harassment allowed or tolerated by any faculty members or clergy... You are a fraud and now the world knows it too."A pattern of behavior emerges as two more women go public with sexual accusations against Neil deGrasse Tyson

Taken by itself, that allegation from 2014 seemed like an outlier, which is why we had not reported on it until today. But last week, two more women stepped forward and claimed Neil ...

Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee is the poster child of DEI

April 15, 2024 - astronomy and her unique take on eclipses that truly showcased her DEI skillset. As you dive into Sheila’s profound musings on space and the celestial bodies, it’s important to remember that this is insight coming from a Yale graduate and a member of Congress for nearly 30 years.

Ancient Greek artifact is actually a 2,000-year-old astronomical computer, report scientists

November 30, 2006 - Ancient Greek artifact is actually a 2,000-year-old astronomical computer, report scientists

Thursday, November 30, 2006 by: Ben KageTags: astronomy, ancient civilizations, health newsGreek sponge divers recovered the 82 separate pieces of the bronze and wood device in 1900, off the island of Antikythera. After it was recently examined with an advanced medical scanner, an international team of multidisciplinary scientists found that the complex system of gears, ...

A step closer to superhumans: Scientists claim that a nanoparticle injection in the eyes could give people night vision

July 28, 2020 - astronomy

When discussing the team’s next steps, Han said that the technology could be tested in service dogs.

“If we had a super dog that could see near-infrared light, we could project a pattern onto a lawbreaker’s’ body from a distance, and the dog could catch them without disturbing other people,” said Han.

Beyond creating “super dogs” with night-vision, the team’s goal is to eventually be able to use the nanoparticles – potentially using organic materials ...

Astronomers uncover hidden gas giant 10 times Jupiter’s size in young star’s protoplanetary disc

July 16, 2025 -

Researchers have uncovered a massive gas giant up to 10 times the size of Jupiter lurking within the swirling dust and gas of a young star’s protoplanetary disc in a groundbreaking discovery that challenges conventional astronomy,. The star, MP Mus (also known as PDS 66), located 280 light-years away, was initially thought to be alone, with its surrounding disc appearing featureless. But deeper observations using advanced telescopic technology revealed ...

NASA’s Voyager 1 discovers mysterious “hum” outside the solar system

Citizen scientists discover ghostly RADIO RINGS, a discovery that rewrites galactic history

October 08, 2025 - astronomy—a sprawling network of antennas across Europe working in unison to capture the faintest whispers of the cosmos. Its sensitivity to low-frequency radio waves allows astronomers to peer billions of years into the past, revealing structures invisible to optical telescopes.

Alongside the double-ringed ORC, RAD@home uncovered two more cosmic oddities:

With next-generation telescopes like the SKA coming online, astronomers expect a flood ...

Ultra-dark Vantablack satellite set to launch in 2026 to combat Starlink light pollution crisis

June 19, 2025 - astronomy."A blacker-than-black solution

Enter Vantablack 310, a space-hardened variant of the famously light-absorbing material developed by Surrey NanoSystems. Unlike earlier versions, which relied on fragile carbon nanotubes, this new coating blends carbon black with durable binders to withstand extreme temperature swings and cosmic radiation. "Our latest coating technology offers super-black performance across a wide range of viewing angles, while remaining robust ...

Black hole collision shatters records, proves Einstein and Hawking right

September 11, 2025 - astronomy, where scientists can now test fundamental physics with unprecedented precision.A signal so strong, it rewrote the rules

The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO), which first detected gravitational waves in 2015, has undergone massive upgrades in sensitivity. The new signal had a signal-to-noise ratio of 80, which is three times stronger than the historic 2015 detection. This clarity allowed researchers to analyze the "ringdown" ...

Astronomers unveil hidden structures of first galaxies 13 billion years ago using ALMA’s cosmic time machine

July 14, 2025 - astronomy

Until now, prevailing models underestimated the diversity and internal complexity of early galaxies. CRISTAL’s findings force a reevaluation: galaxies formed stars faster and in more turbulent conditions than simulations predicted. The survey also sets the stage for follow-up studies with JWST, which will continue probing dust-enshrouded regions to clarify how gas fuels star formation and whether mergers or internal dynamics drive disk formation.

Astronomers find planets with double sunsets 190 light-years from Earth

November 13, 2025 - astronomy

This is not just another exoplanet discovery. It is a fundamental shift in understanding. For decades, the gravitational turmoil of binary systems was seen as a major barrier to planet formation. This discovery proves that planets can not only form in such environments but can also achieve a stable, multi-planet architecture.

The significance is not lost on the researchers involved. "Our discovery breaks several records, as it is the most compact and ...

A cosmic anomaly: Interstellar object’s unexplained behavior sparks alien technology debate

November 07, 2025 - astronomy and planetary defense.Defying expectations

The core of the mystery lies in data from NASA confirming that 3I/ATLAS received a small, extra "kick" that moved it off its predicted path. This non-gravitational acceleration cannot be explained by the sun's gravity alone. For a typical comet, such a maneuver is common and is caused by outgassing—jets of gas released as the sun's heat vaporizes ice, acting like a natural thruster. However, astronomers have ...

Scientists discover hidden “super-Earth” with extreme climate shifts that may be habitable

June 12, 2025 - astronomy. While traditional exoplanet hunters rely on direct observations of planets crossing their host stars, Kepler-725c remained hidden—until its gravitational influence betrayed its presence.The hidden planet revealed

Kepler-725c orbits a sun-like star alongside another known planet, the gas giant Kepler-725b. Researchers detected subtle irregularities in Kepler-725b’s transit schedule, signaling delays and accelerations caused by the gravitational tug of its ...

“The Cosmic Serpent” challenges the conventional understanding of Earth’s history

February 21, 2025 - astronomy, suggesting that the division of the sky into constellations may have been influenced by the observation of comets. The constellations, with their dragon-like figures and horned creatures, bear a striking resemblance to the descriptions of comets in ancient texts. This raises the fascinating possibility that the origins of astronomy are intertwined with the observation of these cosmic events.

While Clube and Napier's theory is fascinating, it ...
