New images captured by NASA’s Curiosity rover show colorful clouds in the sky over Mars. The images were captured by the rover’s Mastcam, which NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory compared to the rover’s eyes. The clouds were spotted on Jan. 17, and the photos were taken over the course of 16 minutes, the space agency said…
Prototype detectors have been sent deep into the South China Sea by Chinese scientists to test the possibility of building a massive underwater observatory that would be used to search for neutrinos – tiny, elusive subatomic particles from deep space. If it all goes as planned, it could take scientists a step closer to uncovering…

Hubble Telescope captures cosmic collision from 50 million years ago – CBS News Watch CBS News The Hubble Telescope took a snapshot of what astronomers are calling the Bullseye Galaxy. The distant galaxy contains nine rings of stars that were formed when a blue dwarf galaxy crashed through the center of the galaxy. Be the…
The recent revelation of the advancement of China’s DeepSeek artificial intelligence (AI) capability didn’t just wreak havoc on the stock prices of American AI companies. It also clearly demonstrated to Americans, beyond national security and technology experts, that Chinese advanced technology presents a real risk both to American economic and security interests. This truth extends…
Space debris plummeting back to Earth could be a growing problem for aircraft, researchers warned in a new study. The study authors, all affiliated with Canada’s University of British Columbia, said that the probability of space debris hitting an airplane is small, but the risk is rising due to increases in both space debris reentries…
