Belief in Moon Landing Hoax Conspiracy Could Spread as Memory of Apollo Program Recedes As humanity gears up to return to the moon, more and more people may deny that we ever went there in the first place. Just a small sliver of the American populace currently believes the Apollo moon landings were faked; polls consistently put the number at ...

Saturn's Moon Titan Has a Weird Ice Formation Thousands of Miles Long Saturn's strange moon Titan hides many of its secrets behind layers and layers of thick haze, but scientists have now peered through the haze in a new way — and spotted a massive stretch of water ice to boot. That ice block stretches across nearly half of ...

This Black Hole's Jets Wobble Like Crazy Because It's Warping Space-Time Astronomers have spotted wildly wobbling jets of particles spewing out of a black hole, and they think this unusually rapid motion could be happening because the black hole's strong gravity is warping space around it. The black hole, named V404 Cygni, ...

'Deep Learning' Algorithm Reveals Huge Saturn Storm in New Light A new "deep learning" algorithm that could help scientists better understand planetary atmospheres has passed its first big test, a new study reports. The software, called PlanetNet, mapped out a monster 2008 Saturn storm system in detail using data ...

Spinning black hole sprays light-speed plasma clouds into space Schematic artist's impression of the changing jet orientation in V404 Cygni. Each segment (as separated by the clock hands) shows the jets at a different time, oriented in different directions as seen in our high angular resolution radio imaging. Credit: ICRAR.

This Week, NASA Is Pretending An Asteroid Is On Its Way To Smack The Earth The giant asteroid is in a horrible orbit and has a 1% chance of striking the Earth in just eight years. And — thank goodness — it doesn't really exist. It's a fictitious asteroid that's the focus of a realistic exercise devised for scientists and engineers from around ...
