Alien solar systems that are home to so-called "hot Jupiters" — gas giants circling sizzlingly close to their stars — are unlikely homes for Earth-like planets, researchers say. Hot Jupiters get their ...

The anomalous nature of the object led astrophysicist Avi Loeb to apply a thought experiment to it, highlighting everything about it that might align with a hypothetical alien spacecraft.

The eyes of every astronomer widened this year when an interstellar traveler was discovered in our solar system.

Speaking of Loeb, you might recall that in 2017, he sparked a major controversy in the scientific community by suggesting ...
