The Moon keeps its familiar face pointed toward Earth, but there are two stable positions. It also would be stable if its farside faced our planet. At the present time, there are small impacts that must kick the Moon away from perfect orientation. When that happens, it oscillates about its stable orientation in two ways.…

Signals buried deep in data from gravitational wave observatories imply a collision of two black holes that were clearly born in different places. Almost all the spacetime ripples that experiments like the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory, or LIGO, see come from collisions among black holes and neutron stars that are probably close family members (SN:…

It has been widely debated among the science community for years, but now Nasa claims that Planet Nine does exist. The space agency highlights five different lines of evidence pointing to the existence of the mysterious world, and says that imagining that Planet Nine does not exist generates more problems than you solve.
