Remember 3I/ATLAS? Yes, the interstellar comet that made plenty of headlines in 2025 is still romping through our solar ...

Far beyond Neptune, in the frozen depths of the Kuiper Belt, many ancient objects oddly resemble giant snowmen made of ice and rock. For years, scientists wondered how these delicate two-lobed shapes ...

Researchers simulated how gravitational collapse forms two-lobed contact binaries in the Kuiper Belt without destructive collisions.

Astronomers had decent guesses about how these peanut-shaped asteroids formed but couldn’t get the physics to work—until now.

Astronomers have puzzled for years over a strange pattern in the outer solar system. A surprising number of icy bodies far ...

Abstract: This study examines how removing surface materials affects the rotational dynamics of an asteroid to design efficient asteroid mining plans. The simulations solve Euler’s equations and track ...

The arrival of 3I/ATLAS in our solar system spawned multiple proposals for a rendezvous mission to study it up close. As the ...

With so many candidates and no clear frontrunner in California's 2026 governor's race, two Republicans are now leading in the polls in this heavily Democratic state, raising the question: Could the ...
