  • Rocky Alien Planets: What The Heck Is On Their Surfaces?
    We don’t have the budget yet to send Star Trek‘s U.S.S. Enterprise to probe the surface of strange new worlds, but luckily for humanity, astronomers are figuring out techniques to do that without even needing to leave Earth.

  • Famed Pair of Stars Closer To Earth Than We Imagined
    If you’re a semi-serious amateur astronomer, chances are you’ve heard of a variable pair of stars called SS Cygni. When you watch the system for long enough, you’re rewarded with a brightness outburst that then fades away and then returns, regularly, over and over again. Turns out this bright pair is even closer to us than [...]
