All planets with evidence of life please take a step forward. Not so fast, Venus.

Life on Venus… Maybe Not So Lively

All planets with evidence of life please take a step forward. Not so fast, Venus.

All Stars die. Some stars go out with a bang. Some stars go out with a big bang — a supernova. And some stars are capable of something so spectacular, so rare, we don't even have a name for it yet.

How Stars Die: The Fate of a Hypernova

Europa to be specific. Yes, I know it’s a crazy question, but hear me out. This will be fun.

Could Sharks Live in Space?

According to NASA, "A black hole is a place in space where gravity pulls so much that even light can not get out. The gravity is so strong because matter has been squeezed into a tiny space. This can happen when a star is dying." But what happens when a black hole dies?

The Death of Black Holes

Headline after headline is sharing the exciting news: a pair of theoretical physicists have realized that our sci-fi dreams may be real: it may be possible to build an actual, operational warp drive. One problem: it doesn’t go all that fast.

Super Earths are super cool, and you should really know about them. In short, they are planets slightly bigger than the Earth (hence the name). And the cool part? They might be a home for life, and they’re way easier to study than regular Earths.
