Astronomers used a radio telescope in Australia to search for artificial radio signals among 10 million stars. The search came up empty. But, they say, that's not bad news for those hoping to find intelligent extraterrestrials.

Astronomers say the nearby red dwarf star Gliese 887 appears to have more dangerous flare activity than first believed. This could make life tough - but maybe not impossible - on its family of super-Earth planets.

Although few details are known, and no images have been released, the Chinese did apparently launch a reusable spacecraft on September 4, 2020. It appears to have deployed a satellite to orbit and then returned to Earth safely 2 days later.

A new map created by a Reddit user - based on what we know about the highs and lows on Venus' surface - shows what this neighboring, cloud-shrouded, blazing hot planet might look like with oceans. Wow!

Cracks in Europa's surface indicate the moon's outer ice shell has shifted by as much as 70 degrees over the past several million years. It's the kind of movement you'd expect from a planetary crust floating on a subsurface ocean.

The researchers called their new analytical technique "a milestone in SETI." One researcher commented: "We now know that fewer than one in 1,600 stars closer than about 330 light years host transmitters just a few times more powerful than the strongest radar we have here on Earth."

The orbit of asteroid 2011 ES4 is still not entirely known. Our knowledge of it might improve sometime today - or early tomorrow - if it is "recovered" by astronomers. It's expected to pass within the moon's orbit, possibly as close as 0.19 lunar distances.

FRB 121102 is one of the few known repeating fast radio bursts, and astronomers are trying to use this new period of activity to understand it better. Some predict the current active phase should end sometime between August 31 and September 9. Will it?

A new report concludes that large constellations of bright satellites in low-Earth orbit will fundamentally change ground-based astronomy and impact the appearance of the night sky for stargazers worldwide.

A new study suggests there are more rogue, free-floating planets - unconnected to any star - than stars in our Milky Way galaxy. NASA's upcoming Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope is expected to begin finding hundreds of them.
