Anthropic reveals Claude AI generated blackmail and violent scenarios during shutdown simulations. What it means for AI safety and global risks.

The first few exoplanets were discovered in the early 1990s. But it wasn’t until the early 2000s, when astronomers began carrying out large-scale, long-term surveys of other stars, that we started to ...

The comet is the third object ever confirmed to have entered our cosmic neighborhood from elsewhere in the galaxy. Space telescopes and orbiters have been documenting the rare visit. A mysterious ...

New measurements of radio galaxies reveal that the solar system is racing through the universe at over three times the speed predicted by standard cosmology. Using highly sensitive data from multiple ...

An interstellar object known as 3I/ATLAS has gathered a significant amount of attention in the planetary science sphere, and soon it will reach its closest point to the sun. 3I/ATLAS is the third-ever ...

The search for an unknown planet in our solar system has inspired astronomers for more than a century. Now, a recent study suggests a potential new candidate, which the paper’s authors have dubbed ...

A mysterious object hurtling through space has been identified as a rare “interstellar object,” only the third of its kind ever seen. In July, NASA reported its ATLAS (Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last ...
