Astronomers have been captivated by the recent identification of what might be a novel category of "free-floating" planets, unveiled through remarkable images from the James Webb Space Telescope. These planets, named Jupiter-mass Binary Objects (JuMBOs), appear to orbit each other without being tethered to any star, challenging long-held beliefs about planetary system formation.

At the end of 2023, astronomers made a startling discovery in the Orion Nebula. Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), the team found 40 pairs of planetary mass objects — none of which orbit a star. They're called Jupiter-Mass Binary Objects, or JuMBOs.

A video posted to social media this month captured two men destroying ancient rock formations at Lake Mead National Recreation Area in Nevada. National park rangers are asking for the public’s help in identifying the visitors, who could face federal charges for vandalizing protected land.

Boarding a plane can often be a frustrating experience, particularly due to the lengthy process, straining to hear boarding groups and securing an overhead bin space — all before finally settling into a seat. However, Delta Air Lines is hoping to streamline this process by changing how it calls boarding groups.

While it may have only been a partial solar eclipse for Southern Nevada, Monday's celestial event was a crowd-pleaser for hundreds of locals who showed up for a big watch party at the College of Southern Nevada (CSN).

Did you see the total solar eclipse? If you were one of the lucky ones with cloudless skies on Monday (April 8), you might be hooked on eclipse chasing for the rest of your life. And if you were one of the unlucky ones stuck under clouds, well, there's always next time. But when is that next time? If you're willing to travel abroad, not that long: two years and change. But if you want to stay in the U.S., you'll be waiting a while: nearly a decade.

You've probably seen the viral videos where planes appear to be frozen in the sky, hovering in place rather than flying forward as they usually do. While some are quick to call the situation a glitch in the matrix, there's a fairly simple explanation: It's an optical illusion due to the parallax effect.

Las Vegas isn’t on the direct path of today’s solar eclipse, but the partial covering will still be a sight worth seeing, says Francisco Silva, vice president for outreach at the Las Vegas Astronomical Society.

Home gardeners can expect to observe these changes during the upcoming eclipse

We've all heard of the Northern Lights that sparkle in the Northern Hemisphere, but did you know that there is also a counterpart in the Southern Hemisphere?
