Rogue planets or Interstellar Objects like Oumuamua could be captured by our Solar System. But only in specific circumstances.

When Oumuamua traversed our Solar System in 2017 it was the first confirmed Interstellar Object (ISO) to do so.

Sometimes in science you have to step back and take another look at underlying assumptions. Sometimes its necessary when progress stalls. One of the foundational questions of our day concerns the Fermi Paradox, the contradiction between what seems to be a high probability of extraterrestrial life and the total lack of evidence that it exists.

The term quasar comes from quasi-stellar objects, a name that reflected our uncertainty about their nature. The first quasars were discovered solely because of their radio emissions, with no corresponding visual objects. This is surprising since quasars blaze with the light of trillions of stars.

Do we have a planetary bias when it comes to understanding where life can perpetuate? It’s only natural that we do. After all, we’re on one.

Research based on new ALMA observations shows the role galaxy spheroids play in mergers and galaxy growth.

The Zwicky Transient Facility is making a huge contribution to astronomy. It's detected more than 100,000 supernovae.

Expired spacecraft, debris, rover tracks and drill sites are all artifacts of our expansion into the Solar System and should be documented.
