In five or seven billion years time, the Sun’s life will come to an end. And it will be really spectacular - if you’re watching from far enough away.
What caused the Big Bang is still a mystery. And that’s just one of the many unanswered questions, in spite of everything we do know about the birth of the Universe.
Astronomers in Puerto Rico have picked up signal from a faint star that’s not like anything they’ve seen before.
Efforts to reduce the gender gap and encourage more women in Australian astronomy have been rewarded this week.
Studying mysterious neutron stars could uncover the secrets of exotic physics – and a way to navigate the stars.
Cassini is about to crash into Saturn to avoid contaminating its habitable moon Enceladus.
You may even be able to find other planets around the star closest to our solar system.
South Africans will not see the value that science and technology adds to their daily lives until there is more interest in areas of science.
Researchers are looking at whether devastating asteroid strikes are predictable or random.
Researchers recently discovered the hottest planet known. But which one is the coldest? And the biggest?
Astronomers report the first ever measurement of light bending around a star other than our own.
Scientists have made a third detection of gravitational waves, again caused by the merger of two black holes. But they think there’s something different about the black holes in this case.
These ripples in the very fabric of the universe were hypothesized by Einstein a century ago. Now scientists have detected them for the third time in a year and a half – ushering in a new era in astrophysics.
Africa’s overall contribution to research might be small, but smart people are undertaking smart and important work on and about the continent.
It used to take weeks to find any of these mysterious signals from deep in space but when the new telescope started looking it found one within days. Then another.
Einstein called entanglement “spooky action at a distance”. But now it’s been used to design an incredibly sensitive detection method for gravitational waves.
Australia’s new partnership with the European Southern Observatory will give our astronomers access to much bigger telescopes.
Science today is increasingly data-driven, but our education system has not caught up.
Plants on other planets are bound to be even weirder than the strangest ones we find on Earth – if they even exist.
