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.
People used to think that when they looked up at the night sky, they were seeing all of space. Then American astronomer Edwin Hubble found out something so amazing, NASA named a telescope after him.
With the probe now on its ‘Grand Finale,’ a Cassini team member describes the amazing discoveries it made about the ringed planet and its many moons.
It turns out that a common physical process called diffusion can explain the orbits of faraway minor planets – no need for a Planet Nine.
The recipe book for galaxy formation may need to be rewritten after the discovery of a massive galaxy that stopped making new stars early in the Universe’s history.
Many of the constellations we know in the night sky come from myths of the ancient Greeks. But similar stories are told by the oldest living cultures on Earth, including those of Australia.
A Darwin mechanic’s success in the hunt for new exoplanets shows how amateur and professional scientists can work together on new research.
