High-velocity stars escaping at over 700 km/s are part of the Milky Way-Andromeda star swap. Key takeaways: _____________________ The Andromeda Galaxy, also known as M31, is the closest spiral galaxy to the Milky Way and the largest member of the Local Group. Recent findings reveal that these two galaxies, separated by 2.5 million light-years, have […]

The Moon’s far side blocks Earth’s radio signals, creating an ideal space for clean science. Key Takeaways ____________ Astronomers and space scientists are amplifying calls to preserve the Moon’s far side as a unique radio silence zone for scientific research. The International Academy of Astronautics (IAA) hosted the inaugural Moon Farside Protection Symposium on March

In a groundbreaking discovery, NASA’s Kepler Space Telescope has identified an Earth-like planet, Kepler-186f, within the habitable zone, also known as the “Goldilocks zone,” of a neighboring star in the Cygnus constellation, approximately 500 light-years away. This marks the first time an Earth-sized planet has been found within the habitable zone of another star. What’s

Astronomers have discovered a new exoplanet that is slightly larger than Earth and orbits a red dwarf star 66.5 light-years away.  It’s a good prospect, scientists think, to help cover our massive information vacuum regarding our Milky Way galaxy’s small, rocky planet population. Since the initial discovery of an exoplanet in 1992, our detection capabilities
