Astronomers Have Found a Star That Survived Being Swallowed by a Black Hole
When black holes swallow down massive amounts of matter from the space around them, they're not exactly subtle about it. They belch out tremendous flares of X-rays, generated by the material heating to intense temperatures as it's sucked towards th

New Tests Suggest a Fundamental Constant of Physics Isn't The Same Across The Universe
Scientists have found evidence that a fundamental physical constant used to measure electromagnetism between charged particles can in fact be rather inconstant, according to measurements taken from a quasar some 13 billion light-years away.

The 116 images NASA wants aliens to see - Voyager's golden record
The Voyager team tapped famous astronomer and science popularizer Carl Sagan to compose a message. Sagan's committee chose a copper phonograph LP as their medium, and over the course of six weeks they produced the "Golden Record": a collection of sounds and images that will probably outlast all human artifacts on Earth.

Grazed by the Apocalypse
At any given moment, a number of cosmological phenomena could suddenly wreck havoc on our floating orb of stuff. But the cosmos better hurry as humanity seem keen on destroying itself long before any ill-meaning asteroid or solar storm gets the chance.

The Great Silence
For the past half-century, humanity has been listening for alien radio transmissions but so far we appear to be the only ones broadcasting into the void. Astrobiologists now seek to narrow down the search by looking for other technological and biological signatures. In this video, I explore some of the methods by which they hope to do so and why the great silence of the universe is such a mystery.
