New Earth-Like Exoplanet GJ 3378b Found Orbiting Nearby Red Dwarf Star

2026-07-03T12:00:04.000Z A potentially habitable rocky world has been found in the habitable zone around a red dwarf just 25 light-years from us. However, faced with a hostile wind of radiation from its host star, it remains unclear whether this new exoplanet supports an atmosphere, or the possibility of life. Nevertheless, astronomers are celebrating the discovery. "This one's exciting," said Paul Robertson of the University of California, Irvine, in a statement. "It's one of our closest cosmic neighbors...

Euclid Telescope Captures Most Detailed Photo of Milky Way Heart

2026-06-25T13:00:04.000Z In 2025, the European Space Agency dark universe detective spacecraft Euclid turned its attention to the heart of the Milky Way for just 26 hours. In just over one day, Euclid was able to create the largest and most detailed photo of this region of our galaxy ever made. The image, packed with 60 million stars, could help scientists hunt for extrasolar planets, exoplanets, in this region known as the galactic bulge. Euclid is designed to study dark energy, the mysterious force that drives...

Brighter Than the North Star? Stargazers Await the ‘Blaze Star’ Eruption

2026-06-24T12:00:08.000Z A once-in-a-lifetime stellar eruption could occur at any time, potentially causing a 'new star' to appear in the night sky. If it does, the star system T Coronae Borealis could suddenly brighten to rival Polaris, the North Star. Here's what you need to know about the "Blaze Star" T. Coronae Borealis (T CrB). T CrB is a prime example of a recurring nova. This thermonuclear explosion erupts from the atmosphere of a white dwarf star roughly once every 80 years, when it reaches a point of ...

Space Art Makes Moon Missions Look Too Easy, Lunar Scientists Warn

2026-06-23T13:00:44.000Z GOLDEN, Colorado — The moon is in need of good and accurate artists! As NASA's Artemis program hits its stride, and in a few years "reboots" our moon with a human presence, there's an urgent need to guard against artistic misrepresentations of the lunar landscape, experts say. We've all seen those alluring lunar renderings of vehicles and astronauts bounding about while setting up equipment and putting in place a moon base.

Expect the Unexpected: June Bootid Meteor Shower Peaks This Week

2026-06-22T12:00:02.000Z Heads up, stargazers! The notoriously unpredictable June Bootid meteor shower is set to peak this week — and anything could happen. While most annual meteor showers follow a fairly predictable script, the June Bootids have a habit of surprising astronomers. Most years, the shower produces only a few meteors per hour. Occasionally, however, it erupts into an unexpected display. In 1998, skywatchers were treated to an outburst of up to 100 meteors per hour, while another burst in 2004...
