A visitor from another star system is creating excitement in the astronomy community. The comet 3I/ATLAS which was first spotted in July 2025 contains chemical clues that scientists can use to ...

Astronomers have spotted something unusual in a comet passing through our Solar System. 3I/ATLAS, only the third confirmed interstellar visitor ever seen, appears to be stuffed with methanol, an ...

New SETI research suggests space weather like solar winds could be interfering with alien radio signals, making them harder to detect.

Scientists are scrambling to explain why interstellar visitor 3I/ATLAS is carrying life's chemical building blocks at concentrations never before seen, and it makes its final pass through our cosmic n ...

Radio silence has long puzzled those searching for extraterrestrial intelligence, but the answer might lie much closer to the source of potential signals than previously thought. Conditions around ...

Sandra Hüller also stars in Phil Lord and Christopher Miller’s sci-fi epic based on the Andy Weir novel about a science teacher who finds an unusual ally in a mission to save two worlds.

Phil Lord & Chris Miller have delivered an impeccable home run with their sci-fi movie Project Hail Mary starring Ryan ...

Project Hail Mary' is a smart piece of sci-fi filmmaking anchored by a reliably charismatic Ryan Gosling becoming best buds with an alien spider-rock.

Comets are often treated as leftovers, but sometimes the leftovers become the primary focus. That is the case with 3I/ATLAS, only the third known interstellar object seen crossing the solar system, ...

Stellar plasma can smear alien radio signals before they escape their star system, making them harder for astronomers to detect.

In Amiri’s calculations, Dyson spheres around white dwarfs tend to produce cooler, fainter thermal emission that peaks in the near- to mid-infrared, while M-dwarf cases can radiate more strongly but ...

Anyone familiar with the search for alien life will have heard of the "Goldilocks Zone" around a star. This is defined as the orbital band where the temperature is just right for liquid water to pool ...
