Researchers used a pair of powerful supercomputers to simulate the potential trajectories of 1 million satellites in a ...

The record-breaking asteroid, about the length of eight football fields, made one complete rotation in 1.88 minutes. Determining this asteroid’s rotating speed allowed the astronomers to determine its ...

Scientists scanning the heart of the Milky Way have spotted a tantalizing signal: a possible ultra-fast pulsar spinning every 8.19 milliseconds near Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at our ...

This enormous chain of hundreds of galaxies—a cosmic filament—is twisting through space 400 million light-years away ...

First its rotation slowed between March and May 2017, taking 46 hours to complete a spin where it had once taken only 20 hours. This occurred as the comet neared its closest point to the sun, roughly ...

Earth’s rotation is no longer matching the tidy 24-hour day that our technology assumes. Since 2020, each day has been ...

Close to one-third of code is now AI-generated. Developer productivity is up 4% due to generative AI. Productivity gains are limited to more experienced developers. The amount of AI-generated code ...

An ailing astronaut returned to Earth with three others on Thursday, ending their space station mission more than a month early in NASA’s first medical evacuation. SpaceX guided the capsule to a ...

Astronomers peering through images from the Vera C. Rubin Obervatory have discovered an unusual asteroid spinning so fast that it's broken the record for how space rocks of its size are supposed to ...

Scientists using a powerful new sky survey telescope have discovered something extraordinary: an asteroid larger than six football fields spinning like a top at breakneck speed, completing a full ...

This artist’s illustration depicts 2025 MN 45 — the fastest-rotating asteroid with a diameter over 500 meters that scientists have ever found. The asteroid is shown surrounded by many other asteroids, ...
