For over half a century, scientists have struggled to answer Fermi’s time-honored question: “Where is Everybody?” Answering this question is extremely difficult, partly because of the data-poor nature of the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) itself, due to a historical lack of funding and resources. However, there are also the inherent assumptions involved that make it difficult to arrive at …

These faint, ghostly rings of radio light seemed to float in deep space, surrounding galaxies like cosmic smoke rings. Now, scientists have discovered the most powerful and distant one yet, and this one …

A mysterious object hurtling through space has been identified as a rare “interstellar object,” only the third of its kind ever seen. In July, NASA reported its ATLAS (Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System) survey telescope in Chile identified a comet that originated from interstellar space. Arriving in the direction of the constellation Sagittarius, the comet was dubbed 3I/Atlas. The comet …

Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor has launched its 1.0 version today, September 17th, ending the Vampire Survivors-like and DRG spinoff’s two-year spell in early access. Despite some initial umming and ahhing about how a comedy co-op FPS would translate into a single-player autoshooter – if I press the Rock and Stone button and nobody hears, did I say Rock and Stone? …

I still can’t quite believe Vampire Survivors popularised a subgenre. I’m not mad at it – I adore it. But who would have predicted such a simple-looking and simple-playing thing would inspire such a following? A game in which all you do is move an auto-attacking character around while avoiding the swarms of enemies chasing after you. A game about …

White dwarfs — the superdense, slowly cooling embers left behind when stars like our sun die — are usually quiet cosmic relics. A rare few, however, are anything but. In recent years, astronomers analyzing data from the European Space Agency’s Gaia spacecraft identified a handful of white dwarfs hurtling through the Milky Way at breakneck speeds of up to 1,240 …

It’s not often that a publisher pitches a comic by asking, “What if George Lucas and Quentin Tarantino f@#&ed and had a baby?” That’s one reason we’ve got our eye on Galactic, a new sci-fi series from DSTLRY that’s billed as being a perfect fit for fans of both Star Wars and adults-only indie comics like Saga and Sex Criminals. …

New observations of a pair of colliding spiral galaxies hint at what might be in store for the Milky Way and the Andromeda galaxy if and when they collide. The findings, described in July in the journal Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, may also help to solve a puzzle plaguing the standard model of cosmology. The two colliding …

IN A NUTSHELL 🌌 Scientists have discovered the Midpoint Cloud, a massive structure within the Milky Way spanning 650 trillion miles. 🔭 The Green Bank Telescope played a crucial role in identifying this Giant Molecular Cloud, highlighting advanced telescopic technologies. 💫 The Midpoint Cloud contains dense gas clumps and masers, indicating active star formation processes. 🚀 This discovery offers new …
