Astronomers have found a Hot Jupiter - WASP-121b - that is leaking metal, and put together a new 3D map of the Milky Way showing that our galaxy is actually a bit twisted!

There is some super weird, noodley stuff inside neutron stars and scientists have found evidence that black holes can have strange geometries.

Last week, NASA released some pretty cool Mars news: Curiosity found even more evidence to indicate the planet could’ve been habitable billions of years ago.

There is a chemical reaction discovered a century ago that could be the key to creating everything from fuel to shelter on Mars!

So the Mars Rovers didn't scoop up any alien lifeforms. Scientist Penelope Boston thinks there's a good chance -- a 25 to 50 percent chance, in fact -- that life might exist on Mars, deep inside the planet's caves. She details how we...

Trinidad's Pitch Lake is a huge, oily, and filled with millions of tons of asphalt. It may not sound like a great place to live, but the lake is teeming with microscopic life! And learning more about these organisms could give us insight...

Some of the oldest galaxies we’ve ever seen are small, faint satellite galaxies orbiting the Milky Way, and they're providing us with a glimpse of how the universe evolved.

Now that we’re done with the planets, asteroid belt, and comets, we’re heading to the outskirts of the solar system. Out past Neptune are vast reservoirs of icy bodies that can become comets if they get poked into the inner solar system....

Good news for fans of Venus - last week, NASA announced two new missions to learn more about our planetary neighbor! And this week, NASA's Juno mission sent back a treasure trove of data about Ganymede - the largest moon in our solar...

Scientists have conclusively imaged a circumplanetary disk around a distant exoplanet, and Jupiter's auroras claim the spotlight with their unique Birkeland currents.

After observing what we thought was just a big asteroid in the asteroid belt, a team of astronomers now thinks this might qualify as a dwarf planet. And scientists had the chance to directly observe the collision of two neutron stars for...

Earlier this spring NASA announced a new research model that predicts that ocean worlds are far from rare, and our galaxy might be full of them. And a new study examines evidence that Pluto may have had an underground ocean all along!

SciShow Space News gives you the update of the historic mission that has, for the first time ever, landed a spacecraft on the surface of a comet!

Scientists can’t directly observe dark matter, and they still don’t know what it is… so why are they so confident it exists?

There’s a big difference between the number of satellites that simulations predict, and the number we’ve actually seen with telescopes, but why?

New simulations of a triple-star system in the constellation Orion suggest that a planet might be orbiting three stars, which could drastically increase the amount of the solar systems we believe are out there forming planets! And the...

Our favorite fast radio burst, FRB 121102, brings us one step closer to understanding its source, and astronomers have a new theoretical upper limit for star masses.

Our planet shares a lot with other rocky planets in our solar system, but astronomers have found a few mountains out there that are nothing like ours.

Ask any deep space navigator like Jill Seubert what makes steering a spacecraft difficult, and they'll tell you it's all about the timing; a split-second can decide a mission's success or failure. So what do you do when a spacecraft is...

Have you ever wondered if aliens exist? You're not alone! Learn about what alien life needs to survive in the universe!

The sun shapes the solar system in many ways, including through its mysterious solar wind, which was thought to be pushed through the force of the sun’s electric field. Recent observations revealed, though, that that hypothesis may not...

Today, we're going to talk about how the Earth moves, but to do that, we're going to have to go way back to the early days of the galaxy! Processes that happened before the Earth even formed have led us to the geographic patterns and...

The Beresheet lander is on its way to the moon and Jupiter's magnetic field might be affecting Europa's ocean.

There are exoplanets out there that seem very Earth-like, but if you look out and see liquid metal instead of liquid water, you might be in the Venus zone.
