The ascender module of a Chinese lunar probe successfully took off from the far side of the Moon on Tuesday bearing samples, state media reported.
"The ascender of China's Chang'e-6 probe lifted off from lunar surface on Tuesday morning, carrying samples collected from the moon's far side, an unprecedented feat in human lunar exploration history," Xinhua said, citing the China National Space

To survive on other planets, water is, of course, critical. We need it to drink, sustain crops and even create rocket fuel.
But on spaceflights, checked luggage is exorbitantly expensive. Anything heavy, especially liquids like water, is bulky and costly to haul by rocket, even to our closest interplanetary neighbors. The best plan, then, is to find water at the spacecraft's destination.

China's Chang'e-6 has successfully landed on the far side of the moon and will collect samples from this rarely explored terrain for the first time, the China National Space Administration (CNSA) announced.
Supported by the Queqiao-2 relay satellite, the lander-ascender combination of Chang'e-6 landed at the designated area at 6:23 a.m. (Beijing Time) in the South Pole-Aitken (SPA) Basin.

Skoltech scientists and their Chinese colleagues have identified conditions that could support the existence of a unique ion, termed aquodiium. This ion, described as a water molecule with two additional protons, could be stable inside Uranus and Neptune and may play a role in their unusual magnetic fields. The research was published in Physical Review B.

Have you ever played hide-and-seek in a new place? It's much harder than playing at home. You only know the obvious hiding spots: under the bed, in the closet, behind the couch. The trick is trying to think of hiding spots you can't even imagine. How do you search in places you never thought could be hiding spots?
That is kind of what scientists like me do when we look for alien life; we'r

Scientists at the University of Warwick are utilizing artificial intelligence (AI) to analyze supernovae, the cosmic explosions of white dwarfs.
Many stars end as white dwarfs, compact stars with the mass of the Sun but the size of Earth. Some white dwarfs explode as supernovae, releasing heavy elements like calcium and iron into the Universe, which are crucial for life. However, the exact
