Jupiter-smacking space rock Astronomers get the goods on

'Fireworks galaxy' is exploding in X-ray light, and scientists are confused

REVEALED! LOST WORLDS OF THE SOLAR SYSTEM • Do new discoveries about our neighbouring planets reveal rogues that caused chaos in the early years of our cosmic backyard?

Making of our cosmic backyard • The formation of the Solar System would have produced many more large objects than the eight major planets and handful of dwarfs we know today

Grand Tack model

Our Solar System • It’s becoming clear that its cosmic history has been shaped by several worlds that have vanished

Missions with the evidence

Hidden planets quickfire • Astronomers hunt for clues of worlds that could have existed

POWERING FUTURE COLONIES • A space colony needs power, and Kilopower reactors could be the answer to these interplanetary problems

HOW WE’LL BUILD THE INTERNET ON MARS • There could be colonists on the Red Planet by 2025, but will there be Wi-Fi?

How we’ll build internet on Mars • From satellite swarms to space statutes, here are all the ingredients for a Martian internet

INTERVIEW BIO

HUMANITY’S CONNECTION WITH THE NIGHT SKY • All About Space speaks to Tiffany Francis about her adventures all over the United Kingdom and Europe in a pursuit to understand astronomy’s profound influence over millennia and how we’re losing touch with it

THE HUNT FOR EARTH’S SISTER • An ESA mission about to blast off hopes to study exoplanets in more detail

CHEOPS: the new exoplanet hunter • A compact spacecraft based on proven ESA technology, the mission has a few unique features

Water detected in exoplanet atmosphere • The planet lies in the habitable zone around its host star, but is too large to be another Earth

Past, present and future exoplanet missions • CHEOPS isn’t the first space telescope studying other worlds, nor will it be the last

HELICOPTER SCOUT INSTALLED ON MARS ROVER • The first-ever off-Earth 'chopper' just hooked up with its travelling companion

HOW CAN A STAR BE OLDER THAN THE UNIVERSE? • Astronomers seeking an accurate age for the cosmos continue to be baffled by an ancient star that appears to be even older

Stars in their eyes • Astronomers at least know HD 140283's location within the universe

Methuselah by numbers

What is HD 140283 made up of? • Since the star was one of the first to be formed, it is very different to those which have formed later in the universe's life

The theories • Just why is the star seemingly older than the universe?

VENUS’ WILD CLIMATE SHIFTS • Long billed as...
