Avi Loeb's controversial claim that a recent fireball resulted from an interstellar object is taking a hammering.

'We are basically showing that there may not have ever been a good reason to assume Mars' dynamo shut down early.'

The license covers the Odin mission, which will launch in early 2025 on board the next Intuitive Machines moon launch.

The discovery could hold the key to the origin of supermassive black holes.

'If this is really an impact structure, it would be Venus' oldest and largest, giving us a rare glimpse into Venus' past and informing early planet processes.'

By 3.6 billion years ago, Mars should have become too cold for liquid water, but something kept the rivers flowing.

Mars'global magnetic field may have hung around for 200 million years longer than scientists had thought, possibly giving life a longer window to take hold on the Red Planet.

Black hole light echoes are an extreme form of gravitational lensing.

The findings call into question just how finely tuned our universe really is.

"The moon is sort of like Earth's attic in terms of preserving the impact records; it's the only place where we can get Earth's baby photos."
