Since 1908 an observatory outside Paris has photographed the Sun on almost every clear day, pausing only for the First World War. The collection contains more than 120,000 images, and one staff member led a twenty-year effort to digitize its plates and film into a public archive.
5+ day, 12+ hour ago (177+ words) A century of daily photographs reveals how the Sun has transformed—if you're patient enough to notice....
A sky dark enough to reveal thousands of stars barely exists across most of Europe anymore, and scientists are treating the disappearance of real darkness as a measurable variable in mental health, not just an astronomy problem
3+ week, 5+ day ago (588+ words) Light pollution has become a public health crisis that neuroscientists are only beginning to understand, leaving millions of people living under skies that their bodies were never designed to navigate. Published August 19, 2026 · How we edit I did not think much…...
By the age of eight, a girl in northeastern Brazil was working through sky-survey images on two computer screens and had logged 18 preliminary asteroid detections; if confirmed, they would make her younger than Luigi Sannino, who was 18 when he set the r
1+ week, 2+ day ago (592+ words) A Brazilian girl's methodical scan of deep-space data threatens to upend a record that's stood for a quarter century, raising questions about who gets access to the tools of discovery. By The Daily Orbit · Edited by Mal James Published September…...
For 21 years, millions of volunteers let UC Berkeley use their home computers to search the sky for alien signals, producing 12 billion detections — after a decade of filtering, scientists narrowed them to roughly 100 targets worth a second look.
2+ week, 22+ hour ago (1591+ words) SETI@home’s 12 billion threshold events became roughly 100 FAST follow-up targets after interference filtering, blind synthetic-signal tests and manual review. By Deep Field · Edited by Lachlan Brown Published August 30, 2026 · How we edit For 21 years, a global network of ordinary computers performed…...
On the night of 27 August 2026 the Earth's shadow will slide across a full Moon and turn it copper for more than an hour, a partial lunar eclipse visible from the Americas without any equipment except a clear sky
2+ week, 5+ day ago (28+ words) Tomorrow night, weather permitting, the full Moon over the Americas is going to do something it will not do again for more than two years. Beginning in the...
In 2008, a team hauled 1,478 lunar data tapes and four obsolete drives to NASA Ames to recover pictures from the 1960s — and the laboratory where they restored those original views of the Moon in greater detail was an abandoned McDonald’s restaurant.
5+ day, 10+ hour ago (309+ words) The Lunar Orbiter Image Recovery Project restored old tape drives inside a former McDonald’s to retrieve detail preserved in recordings from the 1960s....
Astronomers using Hubble found a new roughly 104,000-mile-wide ten-sided storm forming at Saturn’s south pole, a geometric twin to the famous hexagon that has long circled the north
1+ week, 11+ hour ago (168+ words) Saturn's symmetry breaks: a ten-sided storm now mirrors the planet's legendary hexagon, suggesting these geometric puzzles obey deeper physics we're only beginning to understand. By Deep Field · Edited by Justin Brown Published September 7, 2026 · How we edit The open questions are…...
An 18-year-old high school senior from Pasadena wrote machine-learning code to comb 200 billion entries of raw infrared sky data, sorted what came back, and in 2025 found 1.5 million new potential objects
1+ week, 3+ day ago (85+ words) A teenager weaponized a decade of archival telescope data to unearth 1.5 million celestial mysteries that professional astronomers had missed....
The faint smudge of Andromeda you can see with your naked eye on a dark night is 2.5-million-year-old light — photons that left another galaxy around the time the earliest members of our genus were walking Earth.
3+ week, 5+ day ago (371+ words) Andromeda's faint central glow has travelled for roughly 2.5 million years, placing its departure near the emergence of the genus Homo....
Kepler stared at the same 150,000 stars in Cygnus for four years without looking away, watching for the tiny dimming of a planet crossing in front of them, and the four years of staring turned up more than 2,600 confirmed worlds
2+ week, 10+ hour ago (379+ words) By refusing to look away, a space telescope discovered that planets are commonplace, not rare exceptions to the cosmic rule....
