🚨New data from the Chandra X-ray Observatory shows a massive 230-light-year "fracture" in a galactic filament.

800 billion stars. This is Sombrero Galaxy. 31 million light-years away from us.

🚨: South Korean engineers created artificial muscles 30 times stronger than human tissue and lift over 4,000 times their own weight when stiffened.

If aliens visit us, who should be in charge of speaking on behalf of humanity?

Would you leave Earth forever to explore deep space if given the chance?

This is cliff. About 1 km tall. On a comet. millions of miles away from us. Captured by Rosetta mission. If you jumped from the top, it would take you 47 minutes to reach the bottom, and you'd probably be OK.

The Daniel Inouye telescope allows you to see not only granules in the Sun's photosphere, but also formations known as photospheric striations (can be translated as "photospheric grooves"). These are white thin stripes on the granules. They are magnetic in nature and are only 20 kilometers wide.
