Scientists now estimate that half of all sun-like stars have Earth-like planets, now we hope they’ve had similar evolutionary paths and have complex life on them. Lunar’s twin – astronomers now believe an asteroid hiding behind Mars and first found more than 20 years ago, is a long lost relative of our moon. And snagging a magnetar, a super dense neutron star, during a recent fast radio burst… how they did it may surprise you.
Australia’s first state government funded satellite, Kanyini, has delivered its first images from space, marking a significant milestone for the space mission.
Curtin University researchers have discovered the world’s oldest known meteorite impact crater, which could significantly redefine our understanding of the origins of life and how our planet was shaped.
The discovery of new exoplanets can help scientists understand how planets form and evolve.
International researchers suggest that water might have formed a mere 100-200 million years after the Big Bang, far earlier than previously thought, and it might have been a key part of the formation of our universe’s first galaxies.
An accomplished international photographer, Charles Brooks, has captured dazzling new images of one component of the main ring at the Australian Synchrotron and provided an inside view of the electron’s path when it is used.
