Star Chart for Beginners: See 4,500 Stars Tonight With Naked Eyes
The human eye can detect roughly 4,500 stars and even the Andromeda Galaxy without any equipment. This naked-eye astronomy guide explains how to read a star chart and which planets, stars, and deep-sky objects are visible tonight.
Japan’s Hayabusa2 Flew Within 800 Meters of Asteroid to Practice Defense
Japan's veteran Hayabusa2 probe completed a razor-close flyby of asteroid Torifune on July 5, 2026, giving JAXA hands-on data for planetary defense — making Japan only the second space agency after NASA to conduct real hardware-in-space deflection preparation.
Organic Carbon on Mars Found in Two Rocks 100 Metres Apart by Perseverance
NASA's Perseverance rover has confirmed complex organic carbon in two geologically distinct mudstone outcrops inside Jezero Crater, 100 metres apart — a discovery that rules out a one-off anomaly and intensifies scientific debate over whether Mars once harboured life.
Fossil Teeth Dated to 2.8 Million Years Ago May Rewrite Human Origins
Three fossilized teeth no larger than a fingernail have been identified as belonging to the genus Homo and dated to as far back as 2.8 million years ago — placing them among the oldest physical evidence ever recovered for humanity's direct evolutionary branch and forcing a fundamental rethink of when the human lineage first emerged.
Miami Is America’s Most Termite-Infested City for the 4th Year Running

Charon’s Red Polar Cap Is Built From Pluto’s Own Escaping Atmosphere
Pluto's largest moon Charon sports a reddish-brown polar cap that no scientist predicted — built layer by layer from methane escaping Pluto's own atmosphere, frozen in polar cold traps and transformed into complex organic tholins by radiation.Load More
