Worlds With Three Suns: The Strange and Stunning Reality of Triple-Star Planets
Most of us grow up imagining a solar system as something simple and orderly: a single star with a neat family of planets circling around it. Our own Sun reinforces that picture. But the universe rarely sticks to simple patterns. Among the billions of stars in the Milky Way, there exist far more complex arrangements — including triple-star systems. And what’s even more astonishing is that some of these systems are home to planets that orbit all three stars at once.

NASA’s Psyche Mission Is Headed Toward a Metal World Worth $10,000 Quadrillion
In October 2023, NASA launched one of its most intriguing deep-space missions yet — Psyche, a robotic explorer on a years-long journey to a mysterious metallic asteroid unlike anything humanity has ever visited. This strange object, named 16 Psyche, isn’t valuable because it hides alien technology or secret energy sources, but because it appears to be made largely of metal. Not just any metal — we’re talking about iron, nickel, and potentially precious metals that, on Earth, form the backbone of modern industry.

When the Universe was one second Old: The Birth of the First Hydrogen Atoms
Imagine a cosmic stopwatch starting at the very instant the Universe burst into existence. It clicks once—one second has passed. Just a single heartbeat. That moment is so short that most of us wouldn’t even notice it. But on the scale of the cosmos, one second after the Big Bang marks a profound turning point. It’s the moment when the foundations of all future matter—including stars, planets, and eventually us—began to solidify.
