It may be time to question every horoscope you've ever read. NASA has updated the astrological signs for the first time in almost 3000 years, adding a 13th star sign.

Arguably, the single most remarkable thing humanity discovered about Pluto during New Horizon's historic flyby last year was that the dwarf planet had a massive heart. Not an actual heart, mind you – although, keep reading – but a gigantic heart-shaped region, formed mostly from nitrogen ice. Now, thanks to a new study, we now know how this region, called Tombaugh Regio, might have come to be. One thing to understand about Pluto's heart is that it isn't just ice, but a huge formation of glacie..>> view originalJapan's Hinode Sun Observatory Celebrates 10 Years of Solar Science
Japan's Hinode sun-observing satellite has delivered spectacular imagery and invaluable measurements of the sun since it launched into space 10 years ago on Sept. 23, 2006. Hinode is part of an international mission led by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) in collaboration with NASA and other partners. Over the course of a decade, the spacecraft has provided remarkable views of violent solar flares, eruptions, transits across the sun and much more. To celebrate Hinode's 10-y..>> view originalHumpback frees itself after beaching in shallow water

But What They Do Instead Is Important
For something that is in some ways nothing, black holes sure get a lot of attention. The infinitely dense remains of collapsed stars, black holes exert a gravitational force so powerful that nothing—not matter, not light or any other energy—can escape from them. They are therefore entirely undetectable, except in terms of the effect they have on the things around them. Now, a pair of papers—one published by a team of investigators from China and another by a team from NASA—have discovered a n..>> view originalLaurie Keller is feeling pretty chill about her new job as a penguin trainer for new world-first exhibit
