The Black Knight satellite legend has circulated for decades. It involves stories of strange radio signals picked up by ...

The story of the Black Knight is a mix of facts and speculation. In 1998, photos taken during the STS-88 shuttle mission showed a dark object floating in space. Quickly, some saw it as evidence of ...

These hidden black holes may lurk inside stars, slowly growing, invisible until they leave subtle clues: strange gravitational signatures, unusual cooling behaviors, or disruptions in a binary orbit.

A polar orbit is a trajectory where an object, such as a planet, revolves around another by passing over its poles. Unlike equatorial orbits, which follow the plane of the central object's equator, ...

In 2018, the 45th Space Wing certified SpaceX's automated flight termination system and granted vehicles using that system authorization to launch into a polar orbit from the Cape.

These objects are rare, so that the best evidence yet of a polar circumbinary planet is in such a rare system is either a stroke of luck or evidence that these rare systems are more interesting ...

Astronomers have found a planet that orbits at an angle of 90 degrees around a rare pair of peculiar stars. This is the first time we have strong evidence for one of these 'polar planets' orbiting ...
