NASA’s Voyager-1 spacecraft, travelling outside the solar system, has sent back new data revealing a ‘hum’ given off by interstellar gas 14 billion miles from the Earth. The spacecraft, currently further away from the Earth than any human-made object before it, launched 44 years ago to study the gas giants of the outer solar system. … Read more
NASA plans to send a probe where no probe has been before, flying to the edge of the heliosphere by the early 2030s to understand how the solar system formed. The heliosphere is the bubble of space surrounding the sun and enclosing all the planets, from Mercury to Neptune and is affected by solar winds. … Read more
Earth’s first interstellar visitor is neither an alien aircraft nor a comet, as some scientists previously speculated when whizzed through our Solar System in 2017. A new study from Arizona State University suggests Oumuamua is nothing more than a chunk from a Pluto-like planet that was blasted off from its home some 400 million years … Read more

Building blocks of life such as amino acids are able to form in dark interstellar clouds long before the areas of gas and dust turn into stars and planets, new study reveals. An international team of scientists, led by experts from Queen Mary University of London, simulated the conditions found within dark interstellar clouds of dust. They … Read more
