An electrician is an expert who is trained to make sure electrical systems and equipment are installed safely and working correctly. Electricians are involved in a variety of systems, including power, lighting, communications, and more – anything that…
I’m a physicist, and scientists like me observe the world around us mainly by looking for signals from different wavelengths of light. So no matter what type of technology scientists use, they run into the same issue in the hunt for dark matter. It’s not completely impossible to interact with dark matter, though, because it…

The Northwest Earth and Space Science Pathways (NESSP) project recently concluded its 2025–2026 ROADS (Rover Observation And Discoveries in Space) from Earth to Venus National Challenge, a NASA Science Activation program student challenge that engaged more than 500 students on 120 teams from eight states in authentic science and engineering experiences inspired by Venus exploration….
Sarah Al-Ahmed: Around what time should we expect these pictures to start flowing in? Andrew Jones: June 7 was what we expected to be the rendezvous with Kamo’oalewa. The China National Space Administration hasn’t officially confirmed that this rendezvous maneuver has taken place, but AMSAT-DL, which is a nonprofit, used their telescopes in Bochum in…
Astronomers led by Northwestern University have uncovered an unusual feature surrounding the famous “Pink Planet”: skies filled with salty clouds. For more than a decade, the ancient world, known for its pinkish haze, has remained one of astronomy’s enduring mysteries. As one of the coldest planetary-mass companions ever directly imaged, it is so faint that…
Researchers led by the Institute of Cosmos Sciences of the University of Barcelona (ICCUB) have developed a new technique that could greatly improve how scientists study the expansion of the Universe and investigate the mysterious force known as dark energy. Published in Nature Astronomy, the research introduces a framework called CIGaRS that can extract far…
