We tend to think of Jupiter as permanently giant, but a 2025 study found it used to be twice its current size, with a magnetic field 50 times more powerful, and it is still quietly shrinking by about 2 centimetres every year

We think of astronauts as floating in zero gravity, but the International Space Station is still deep inside Earth’s pull, where gravity is nearly 90% as strong as it is on the ground. What looks like weightlessness is really the station and its crew falling around the planet at about 28,000 kilometres per hour.

A rare meteorite found in the Sahara may be a surviving shard of a lost Moon-sized world — one that formed beside the young Sun, followed a path unlike Earth or Mars, and was smashed apart while the planets were still being built.

On Titan the mountains are made of water — frozen so hard at nearly minus 180 degrees that it behaves like rock, while the seas are liquid natural gas and the black beaches are soot drifting down from the sky

Astronomers searching for alien life aimed the James Webb Space Telescope at K2-18 b, a potentially ocean-bearing world 124 light-years away, and found tentative signs of gases associated on Earth with marine microbes — triggering months of debate over whether the molecules were really there and whether they would indicate life.

The most common type of planet discovered in the Milky Way may be a world that does not exist in our solar system — larger than Earth, smaller than Neptune, and wrapped in an atmosphere we barely understand

The Sun accounts for 99.86 percent of all the mass in the entire solar system — meaning that if you took all eight planets, every one of their moons, every asteroid, and every comet, and combined them into a single object, that object would weigh less than one seven-hundredth of the Sun

For the 2014 film Interstellar, director Christopher Nolan hired Caltech physicist Kip Thorne as his science consultant — and the visual simulations Thorne helped design for the film’s black hole were so mathematically accurate that they generated two peer-reviewed scientific papers and became the model for how astrophysicists visualize black holes today

Most of NASA’s first Moon-base robots will depend on solar power, which makes the two-week lunar night one of the whole project’s nastiest problems — but NASA is now considering an odd workaround: sending PROMISE, a JPL engineering twin of its nuclear-powered Mars rovers, to the lunar south pole.

Astronomers found a third galaxy with almost no dark matter, and all three sit on the same straight line — pointing to a collision that tore ordinary matter loose
