NASA's ever-peering eye into the heavens, the Hubble Space Telescope, has found a distant planet whose blue hue could be the result of glass rain.
Deep in a dark cloud, some 10,000 light-years away, a monster so large it will be the biggest of its kind in the Milky Way is being born, and it's teaching scientists a thing or two about how stars form.
Britain will be joining the ranks of avid extraterrestrial life seekers with a new concentrated effort utilizing seven major telescopes that will sift through radio broadcasts looking for a message from another planet.
There's something out there in the universe causing mysterious radio bursts, and the only thing scientists know about it is that it's from a time when the universe was half its current age.
SETI, the search for extra terrestrial intelligence, may have once been considered a flight of fancy or ostracized by the broader scientific community, at least in Carl Sagan's Contact, but the project has, by now, generally gained acceptance. Listening for aliens seems like an improbable but good idea. However, a new extra terrestrial intelligence-seeking initiative, called the Lone Signal Project, may warrant a little more skepticism.

Scientists using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) have imaged and modeled a dust-filled region around a young star. The kicker? It's the first real-time look at the birth and growth process of larger cosmic objects such as comets and planets.
The Ring Nebula, it seems, is not actually a true ring. Thanks to the keen eyes of the Hubble Space Telescope, astronomers have found that there is far more to this eye-dazzling cosmic phenomenon than initially believed.
Two astronauts aboard the International Space Station (ISS) are currently going for an early Saturday morning stroll high above the Earth in an effort to identify and fix the space station's ammonia leak discovered Thursday.
Scientists have discovered distant stars that appear to have been polluted by space debris. The pair of dead stars can be found in a cluster about 150 light years from Earth.
According to new research, water found deep inside the Earth and the moon may have originated from the ancient meteorites. Some scientists now believe that water already existed on Earth prior to the impact that created the moon, and subsequently, the moon would've begun with a portion of that supply.
