Until that happens, the best the universe can offer is aligning planets, we’re afraid – but it’s still pretty exciting. For a few brief evenings around February 28, every planet in our solar ...

On January 25, 2025, the cosmos will present a spectacular event known as a planetary alignment, where all major planets in our solar system will line up in a harmonious formation. This celestial ...

Scientists have captured faint magnetic signatures resulting from the tidal movement of seawater across the planet — and they might have to wait until 2030 to get another shot at it.

A new study suggests that a close encounter with a massive interstellar object, possibly eight times the mass of Jupiter, may have significantly altered the orbits of the four outer planets in our ...

The James Webb Space Telescope has detected clouds made of silicates, similar to sand here on Earth, as well as water, methane and carbon monoxide on exoplanet VHS 1256 b. The exoplanet is more ...

Kumbh Mela, one of the grandest spiritual gatherings, owes its celestial timing to precise planetary alignments. These cosmic movements determine when the rivers transform into sacred sanctuaries ...

Uranus and Neptune can be spotted too, but only by using binoculars and telescopes Look up! Six planets grace the sky this month in what’s known as a "planetary parade," and most will be able ...
