A large satellite launching to space tomorrow could become brighter than any other object in the night sky except the moon, raising concerns about its impact on astronomy.
The BlueWalker 3 satellite, built by Texas-based firm AST SpaceMobile, is set to be launched on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket on 10 September.
Walking robots could aid research on other planets
While the Mars Exploration Rovers and other robots have been successfully sent into space, they typically operate based on pre-programmed agendas that require human scientists and engineers to input detailed instructions regarding where to go and what to do prior to the robots' arrival at the ...
Potentially habitable "super-Earth" discovered 100 light-years away
Super-Earths are a unique class of exoplanet in the solar system that are more massive than our planet but lighter than the ice giants, according to NASA. They are made by some combination of gas and rock and can get up to 10 times the size of Earth's mass.
The findings , discovered with NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite and the University of Liège's Search for Habitable Planets Eclipsing Ultra-Cool Stars (SPECULOOS), will be published in the journal Astronomy and Astrophysics.
More planets could contain water than previously believed
More planets could contain water than previously believed increasing the likelihood of habitable worlds, according to a new study.
Scientists say many planets are too light to be made up purely of rock and could instead consist of around half rock and half water or another lighter molecule.
Astronomers find massive stars stealing Jupiter-sized planets | TweakTown
A study on the planetary heists titled " Making BEASTies: dynamical formation of planetary systems around massive stars " has been published in the journal Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society: Letters .
Researchers from the University of Sheffield have provided a novel explanation for how planets discovered as part of the B-star Exoplanet Abundance STudy (BEAST) came to be.
These water worlds may exist outside the solar system | Popular Science
Astronomers typically divide the planets in our solar system into two types: Rocky worlds and gas giants. But, according to a new study of planets in other star systems in our galaxy, there's a third kind of world, which is made up of about 50 percent water and 50 percent rock.
In recent years, astronomers have been rapidly detecting new planets orbiting stars beyond our own, called exoplanets. To date, more than 5,000 exoplanets have been discovered and confirmed.
Sky-watching in September: It's a good month if you like looking at Mars
According to NASA, there is much to see in the night sky this month including, Mars, a "red triangle" with bright red stars, Saturn and Jupiter!
MARS: You can see Mars in the sky during September mornings. Look to the south about one hour before sunrise. Over the course of the month, Mars works its way eastward from orange-colored Aldebaran toward reddish Betelgeuse, creating a sort of "red triangle" in the morning sky.

The findings of this study , published in the peer-reviewed academic journal Science , shed light on the prevalence of water in the universe, having potential game-changing consequences in the search for strange new habitable worlds.
