When most of us think about science, we don't often think about something very fundamental to the enterprise: what the goal of it all actually is. Reality is a complicated place, and the only tools we have to guide us in understanding what it is and how it works is the combination of what we can observe, measure, and experiment on.

NASA explains the incredible shot captured by the Hubble Space Telescope of 3I/ATLAS shows a 'teardrop-shaped cocoon of dust' trailing behind the object, suggesting it's a sizable comet.

The search for axions remains crucial in the ongoing quest to understand dark matter, though no direct evidence for these particles has yet been found.

"Predicting future mergers requires knowledge about the present coordinates, velocities, and masses of the systems partaking in the interaction."

It used to appear destined to merge with Andromeda forming a colossal "Milkomeda." Now, there is a chance that we could avoid this fate entirely.

Humans often hold egocentric views of their place in the universe, considering themselves the pinnacle of evolution, which reveals a profound sense of pride and importance in our existence.

'The universe evolves in a way that the information content in it is compressed, optimized and organized - just as computers and computer code do.'
