and we're taking photographs of interstellar comets from the surface of other planets in about 400 years. So that, to me, is a remarkable story."

And it's been on its journey across the Milky Way galaxy, and the thing I find remarkable, [...] it's only 400 years [ago] that we were arguing about whether the Earth went around the Sun."

"Now we've sent spacecraft to the planets that Kepler and others were seeing move in the sky,

🚨 Prof Brian Cox explains what he finds "Remarkable" about interstellar object 3I/ATLAS

"There's an estimate a couple of days ago that it might have formed seven and a half billion years ago," he told the presenters. "So it was made before the Earth and the Sun had formed out of a cloud of dust

Almost two decades after Cassini first flew through the icy plumes erupting from Enceladus’ south pole, scientists have uncovered complex organic molecules within the moon’s frozen spray compounds that form part of the chemical chain leading toward life’s building

NEWS🚨: Scientists found strongest evidence yet that Saturn’s moon Enceladus is 'habitable'
New findings from NASA’s Cassini mission reveal that Enceladus's ocean is far more chemically active than we ever imagined.

when a single photon splits into two. This result confirms a core principle of physics at the quantum scale and marks a milestone that could help in creating advanced quantum states for use in computing, communication, and sensing technologies.

physics at the smallest scale but also opens a pathway to advanced quantum technologies, from entangled states to secure communication.

Researchers at Tampere University, working with colleagues in Germany and India, have demonstrated for the first time that angular momentum remains conserved

🚨: For the first time physicists just split a photon into two, and confirmed that one of the most fundamental rules of physics still holds true, even at the tiniest possible scale.

Achieved only once in a billion attempts, this needle-in-a-haystack success not only proves a cornerstone law of
