Astronomers Witness the Awesome Power of a Black Hole's "Dancing Jets" May 6, 2026
New Curtin University-led research has used a radio telescope that spans the Earth to snap images that measure the immense power of jets from black holes, confirming scientists’ theories of how black holes help shape the structure of the Universe.
Data Fusion Provides a High-Definition Look At Mars' Temperature Maps May 6, 2026
In-situ Resource Utilization (ISRU) is our best bet for “living off the land” for a future Martian base, but tracking down those resources is no easy task. As of now, we have two options - send a rover to a specific location to scout it, or monitor it from orbit. Since rovers are expensive, and […]
Closing The Exoplanet Radius Gap May 6, 2026
Kepler and TESS showed us that there's a radius gap in the exoplanet population. There are very few planets between 1.5 and 2 Earth radii, according to the data. But new research shows that the gap may not be as significant as thought.
To Build a City on Mars, We Might Need to Plunder the Asteroid Belt May 6, 2026

First Images From the Pandora Exoplanet Mission May 6, 2026
A new mission promises to 'open the box' on exoplanet science. Scientists and engineers recently released the first engineering images from the Pandora exoplanet survey mission. The pictures represent the first ever images from a NASA Astrophysics Pioneers Program mission. Established in 2020, the program looks to test the feasibility of small low cost missions […]
