A rogue star passing through our stellar neighborhood could cause the biggest mass extinction since the Permian in 1.5 million years. Or it might not. We still have to see.

Ufologists seem convinced that NASA is trying to distort an image showing a gigantic alien spaceship shaped like an X floating through the solar system.

Creationists and theologians often call the Big Bang theory an origin story for atheists. But that comparison ignores the easily confirmed evidence that it more than likely happened.

The best way to find Earth-sized planets is watching them pass between a telescope and their parent star. And we might get a telescope designed to spot precisely that.

A star-munching monster of general relativity is a lot closer to Earth than we thought according to new observations...

Astronomers spotted evidence of a very rare event that only happens to the largest and heaviest stars: an antimatter-fueled supernova.

Researchers want to put the idea that black holes evaporate through minute interactions with the outside universe to the test.

One of the weirdest extrasolar planets we've found so far is a superheated puffball that orbits its star in the wrong direction.

We knew planetary collisions should happen relatively often in young solar systems. Now we have hard evidence of one such an event.

Chris Mooney and Sheril Kirshenbaum blame scientists for public scientific illiteracy. The case study serving as exhibit one? Pluto's demotion from planethood.

Astronomers are trying to zero in on the largest mass for a stellar black hole and found a monster larger and hungrier than they expected.

ABC's Tandem follows the age old tradition of cramming enough technobabble into the plot of a space themed disaster show and hope the audience doesn't ask questions.

Astronomers weigh a black hole so massive, it wasn't born from an imploding star but from massive nebulae crushed by its own gravity.

Spike Psarris tries to explain why evolution and a 13 billion year old are lies because... the planet Mercury is a little too dense for his tastes?

Introducing Spike Psarris, junk scientist and nonsense regurgitator extraordinaire...
