Why aliens may find space exploration uninteresting, new NASA theory suggests

A NASA astrophysicist has introduced a compelling new explanation for the enduring mystery of why humanity has not detected or been contacted by extraterrestrial civilizations. Dr. Robin Corbet, a senior research scientist at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center and the University of Maryland, proposes......

Blue Origin advances Mars ambitions with successful New Glenn launch and booster recovery

The New Glenn rocket, developed by Jeff Bezos' aerospace company Blue Origin, successfully completed its second flight on Thursday, marking a significant breakthrough for the company. Launching from Cape Canaveral, Florida, the rocket carried two NASA satellites destined for Mars while achieving......

Durham scientists contribute to NASA’s groundbreaking search for extraterrestrial life

Scientists from Durham University are playing a pivotal role in designing a cutting-edge camera for NASA’s Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO), the first telescope specifically created to detect signs of life on distant planets. The announcement, made on November 8, 2025, highlights the UK’s......

China's Shenzhou 21 sets record with rapid docking and groundbreaking experiments

China has reached another milestone in space exploration as the Shenzhou 21 spacecraft docked with the Tiangong space station in a record 3.5 hours. This achievement highlights the nation’s growing expertise in orbital rendezvous and docking technology, a field where it continues to compete with......

Harvard astrophysicist pressures NASA over interstellar comet images

Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb is urging NASA to release high-resolution images of the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS, claiming that the Manhattan-sized object might be extraterrestrial technology rather than a natural visitor from another star system. This demand has reignited debate surrounding Loeb’s......

Astronomers detect 'heartbeat' of a neutron star in a cosmic explosion

For the first time, an international team of researchers has captured direct evidence of the “heartbeat” of a newborn neutron star within a distant gamma-ray burst (GRB). This groundbreaking discovery provides crucial proof that at least some of the cosmos' most explosive events are powered......

Scientists divided over the future of 'mirror life' research

The global scientific community is at odds over whether to halt research into "mirror life" synthetic organisms made entirely from molecules that are the mirror opposites of those found in conventional biology. At a recent conference in Manchester, leading researchers debated the future of......
