One second. Earth freezes. You don’t. At 1,000 mph you’re airborne, cities vaporize under supersonic winds, oceans leap ashore. Then spin slams back apocalypse, twice in a heartbeat.

Scientists detect a sugar molecule in deep space for the first time, strengthening evidence that the chemical building blocks of life may have formed long before Earth existed.

Astronomers have for the first time identified a pulsar in the tidal tail of an ancient star cluster, providing key evidence for how neutron stars migrate into the Milky Way.

LUX-ZEPLIN recorded a single particle interaction that could be a WIMP 200 times heavier than a proton. At 2.6 sigma, it has a 0.5% chance of being background.

NASA's new flagship observatory, the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, launched Sunday on a Falcon Heavy to study dark energy, dark matter and exoplanets.

Scientists confirmed a Milky Way particle accelerator producing ultra-high-energy cosmic rays, with proton energies thousands of times beyond the Large Hadron Collider.

S301 orbits Sagittarius A at 25,000 km/s, close enough that the black hole's rotation twists spacetime. Years of tracking should yield the first direct spin measurement.

Study of ancient craters shows slow buildup of ice in permanent shadows rather than sudden delivery by a comet.
