Just the Facts, Ma'am "I stopped watching TV news a year ago, so sick of the bias everywhere. But in doing so, I was out of the loop. I decided to give 1440 a try & I've not been disappointed. Finally, Walter Cronkite style reporting! Just the facts. I also love that I can click a link to see more on many stories. Keep up the good work!" Join for free now.

A team of researchers has cooled matter to within a billionth of a degree of absolute zero, colder than even the deepest depths of space, far away from any stars.
The orbit of an exoplanet around a star in a binary star system has been portrayed in three dimensions for the first time. The planet orbits its star at a different angle to the plane of the orbit of the two stars, and the misalignment could offer clues as to how planets form in binary systems.
NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) spacecraft just beamed back the first image of its target, the moonlet Dimorphos, as well as the body it orbits, the asteroid Didymos. What does the name "Didymos" (or δίδυμος) mean in Greek?
It's been 50 years since humans last visited the moon, and even robotic missions have been few and far between. But the Earth's only natural satellite is about to get crowded.
A new type of exoplanet - one made half of rock and half of water - has been discovered around the most common stars in the universe, which may have great consequences in the search for life in the cosmos, researchers say.
A good choice for serious beginners on a budget, the versatile Sky-Watcher Explorer 130's equatorial mount lacks a little precision yet remains an effortless way to explore the night sky through a reflector with plenty of aperture.
