New James Webb observations reveal massive Milky Way-like structures that scientists didn’t expect to find in the early universe.
The James Webb Space Telescope continues to alter our understanding of the universe.
The $10 billion space observatory has observed Milky Way-like galaxies much further back in time than previously thought possible, a press statement reveals.
Summary: Time spent in a novel environment causes neural representations to grow in a surprising way.

Young children sometimes believe that the moon is following them, or that they can reach out and touch it. It appears to be much closer than is proportional to its true distance. As we move about our daily lives, we tend to think that we navigate space in a linear way.
Nothing personal, the Sun is just going through a phase right now. On Jan 4, 2023, our planet reached the closest point to the Sun in its orbit and is expected to be hit by the wake of a coronal mass ejection (CME) coming from the Sun, Live Science reported.

Solar activity has been picking up pace in the past few months as the Sun approaches the peak of its solar cycle. Every 11 years or so, the poles on the Sun switch their positions, sending our star into a tizzy of activity, marked by the appearance of sunspots and darker areas on the solar surface.

On Jan 4, 2023, our planet reached the closest point to the Sun in its orbit and is expected to be hit by the wake of a coronal mass ejection (CME) coming from the Sun, Live Science.
A coronal mass ejection is a large expulsion of plasma and magnetic field from the solar surface. When the particles in this expulsion and the magnetic field interact with the Earth’s atmosphere and magnetic field, it compresses the latter, which is referred to as a geomagnetic storm.
Nearly a year after Sony and Honda shared plans to jointly make and sell electric vehicles, the two companies revealed a prototype under the brand name Afeela.
The four-door sedan was driven onstage at CES Wednesday as Kenichiro Yoshida, the CEO of Sony, talked through the company’s mobility philosophy, which prioritizes building vehicles that have autonomous capabilities and are transformed into “moving entertainment space[s].”
The first preorders of the Afeelas are scheduled in the first half of 2025, with sales to begin the same year, said Yoshida. Initial shipments will be delivered to customers in North America in the spring of 2026.
A new radiation-based mechanism adds to the ways that amino acids could have been made in space and brought to the young Earth.
After over a decade of research and testing, Caltech’s Space Solar Power Demonstrator arrived above Earth on Tuesday to begin testing.
It’s all part of an in-space manufacturing initiative that could drastically reduce costs for future space missions.
A new experiment does away with one of the biggest hindrances manufacturers face here on Earth — Gravity.
MIT scientists are collaborating with NASA to build test parts in space as part of a research program aimed at unleashing the full potential of microgravity manufacturing.
Just like the distant galaxies, the deep seas continue to bring us wonder and awe.
Beyond every shoreline lies a sea, a seemingly uniform body of water with turbulent, ceaseless movement that joins the coastlines into a continuous whole, showing no sign of the borders and labels we set upon it. In many ways, these large bodies of water are as mysterious to us as the distant galaxies and stars in the cosmos. But they are also right here, in the midst of our own world and interacting with our planet’s atmosphere as a realm of hidden objects, shadowy dreams, and deep sea creatures.
Do you ever think about the creatures that lie deep below the seas?
