NASA scientists have just identified mysterious shapes flying above the Earth but, don’t worry, this doesn’t mean that aliens are about to strike.Using an imaging instrument called the Global-scale Observations of the Limb and Disk (GOLD), the experts uncovered strange X and C shapes, which have been cropping up in surprising places at surprising times.The researchers found the structures dancing around the ionosphere – the area where Earth’s atmosphere meets space – and say that the discovery could help improve radio communications and space weather forecasts.The ionosphere – which sits around 50 to 400 miles (roughly 80 to 644 kilometres)...

 The reason we seem to be alone in the universe might be right beneath your feet, scientists have suggested.For years, scientists have been perplexed by the fact that we have not found any other kind of alien civilisation.That is despite the fact that the Drake equation suggests there should be many civilisations near enough and capable enough to get in contact with us. The equation – originally posited by Frank Drake – attempts to estimate the chances of coming into contact with intelligent life, and suggests that the chance of that should be high.But the new study suggests that it might...

There are eight planets in our solar system – plus poor old Pluto, which was demoted in 2006 – but what if there were more?Turns out that might be the case. Astronomers have calculated there is a 7 per cent chance that Earth has another neighbour hiding in the Oort cloud, a spherical region of ice chunks and rocks that is tens of thousands of times farther from the sun than we are.“It’s completely plausible for our solar system to have captured such an Oort cloud planet,” said Nathan Kaib, a co-author on the work and an astronomer at the...

An asteroid around the size of the Washington Monument is set to flash by Earth this month. The so-named 2024 MK asteroid will come even closer than the orbit of the moon on June 29 and is estimated to be around 394 to 885 feet in diameter. The asteroid could pass some 50,000 miles closer than the moon, according to NASA's Center for Near Earth Object Studies.

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has revealed mysterious objects in the early universe that challenge current theories of galaxy and supermassive black hole evolution. These objects contain old stars and massive black holes, much larger than expected, suggesting a rapid and unconventional form of early galaxy formation. The findings highlight significant discrepancies with existing models, and the objects’ unique properties indicate a complex early cosmic history.

Nearby Exoplanet May Have Life-Sustaining Ocean, Say Scientists. An exoplanet relatively close to Earth may be the first ever detected with a potentially life-sustaining liquid ocean outside our Solar System, according to scientists using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope. While more than 5,000 exoplanets have been discovered, only a handful are in the “Goldilocks zone”—neither too hot nor too cold—where liquid water, a key ingredient for life, could exist.

LONDON — Set your phasers to stunned for this next discovery. A team of international researchers have located a distant planet where one side is perpetually bathed in scorching sunlight, while the other remains in eternal darkness. Now, picture the boundary between these two extremes — a cosmic twilight zone where “morning” and “evening” exist in a never-ending cycle. In a case of cosmic coincidence, one of the scientists making this discovery shares his name with one of the most famous sci-fi explorers, Star Trek’s James Kirk!
