Kepler's first survey gives us a list of over 1,200 new potential planets and shows that terrestrial planets may be as common as we hoped.

The most likely candidate for alien life outside out solar system, Gliese 581g, might not really exist.
# space
If wormholes big enough for spaceships to traverse exist, we should be able to detect them just by looking at the sky.

Could we use neutron stars as navigational landmarks when traveling through interstellar space?
# science
An awful lot is riding on JWST and there's a huge risk that if something goes wrong, deep space astronomy could be set back decades.

Astronomers found a planet on death row orbiting a dying star. The kicker? That solar system was born in another galaxy.

Want to get a good guess as to how old a star is? Just listen to its hum...
# space
We think Gliese 581g might have liquid water on its surface. How do we check if it really does?
# space
GJ 436b has some interesting chemistry, but it's not rewriting astronomy and chemistry books, nor is it a huge surprise to scientists.
# space
There's here, they're loud, and they somehow missed the last 600 years of science...
# space
While we still don't know how supermassive black holes get as heavy and large as they are, but we have a few ideas...
# space
Astronomers find a star that's larger, brighter, and heavier than what we thought could still exist.
# science
Here's to hoping that the Discovery Channel does right by Phil Plait's show...
# space
The survey which figured out the right way to view the remaining visible universe has been misconstrued to mean we no longer need to investigate dark matter.
# space
Some 90% of the visible universe appeared to be missing. We finally found the right tools to see it...
