A team of astronomers discovered at least 70 rogue planets in the Milky Way, marking the largest group of rogue planets ever found. These free floaters roam the universe on their own without being bound to a host star. inverse.com/science/larges…
NASA launched its Kepler space telescope in 2009 to find Earth-like planets orbiting different stars. The telescope spotted a free-floating planetary-mass object around 100 light-years away from Earth. inverse.com/science/larges…
Planet CFBDSIR2149 was the first rogue planet discovery, and its proximity helped astronomers learn more about these planetary anomalies. Some scientists believe these planets could even host life, despite all odds. inverse.com/science/larges…
“We did not know how many to expect and are excited to have found so many,” Núria Miret-Roig (@nmiretroig), an astronomer at the Laboratoire d’Astrophysique de Bordeaux, France and the University of Vienna, Austria, and lead author of the new study. inverse.com/science/larges…
The recent discovery suggests there could be more of these planets roaming the galaxy. However, scientists are still not sure of their origin. Without a star to orbit, these planets go about their business independently. inverse.com/science/larges…
The team hopes that by studying the large group of rogue planets, they will be able to identify their origins and how they formed and evolved. They have their hopes set on @ESO's upcoming Extremely Large Telescope (ELT). inverse.com/science/larges…

The Webb Telescope's newest image shows two galaxies smashing into each other. inverse.com/science/galaxi… Image
The image of IC 1623, located around 270 million light years away, also possibly shows the birth of a new supermassive black hole right in the bright heart of the collision. The merging galaxies have nearly become one object already. inverse.com/science/galaxi…
When two galaxies merge, they create dense patches of gas that can collapse under their own weight and flare to life as new stars. These waves of star formation show up in the image as the bright gold bubbles amid the red background of heated gas. inverse.com/science/galaxi… Image

A 16-person team will soon begin reviewing unexplained aerial phenomena (UAP) for NASA. inverse.com/science/nasa-u…
UAP’s are classified due to their puzzling behavior in the sky, which doesn’t fit into the known behavior of aircraft or known natural phenomena. inverse.com/science/nasa-u… Image
The research team includes an astronaut, a space-treaty drafter, a boxer and several astrobiologists. inverse.com/science/nasa-u…

The female stars of ‘The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power’ open up to @karenyhan about their experiences on set and in Middle-earth for Inverse's digital cover story. #TheRingsOfPower inverse.com/entertainment/…
Beyond the pressure that comes with being part of the most expensive TV series ever made (a projected billion dollars across a five-season commitment), the show is awaited by a passionate fandom – some of which have complained about the show's diversity. inverse.com/entertainment/…
“[Tolkien] was a really complex person who wrote a really complex world,” Morfydd Clark tells Inverse. “And this idea that anyone could know exactly what he would've wanted or what he would've liked is, I feel, nonsense." inverse.com/entertainment/…

The original ‘Street Fighter’ was admittedly a flawed game, but it created the blueprint for the entire fighting game genre. inverse.com/gaming/street-…
Released on August 12, 1987, the first ‘Street Fighter’ was an attempt at refining the gameplay of Takashi Nishiyama’s side-scrolling beat-em-up ‘Kung-Fu Master.’ This game was messy but it created the mechanics that define fighting games today. inverse.com/gaming/street-… Image
It was also the first game to create combos. These were special moves that could only be done if the player inputted the correct string of buttons. The player was never told about these special moves and would have to discover them through trial and error. inverse.com/gaming/street-…

In celebration of Spider-Man's birthday and his comic debut 60 years ago, Inverse poured through years of interviews, documentaries and DVD extras to find 60 obscure facts you may not have known about one of the top superheroes of all time. inverse.com/culture/spider…
56. Stan Lee couldn't tell Spider-Man’s story until 'Amazing Fantasy' #15, the series' last issue, because he claimed nobody cared what went into the final issue. It was previously rejected because teens are usually sidekicks and people "hate spiders." inverse.com/culture/spider… Image
50. There's some confusion around Spider-Man’s birthday. It's generally seen as being August 10, which was confirmed in 'Spider-Man: Far From Home.' 'Amazing Fantasy' #15 was simply labeled as “August” which is why “Spider-Man Day” is August 1. inverse.com/culture/spider… Image

Collagen has been sold as the key to “more youthful looking skin” by the beauty industry despite already being an all-important protein that naturally occurs in the body. But does science back up the industry's claims? Inverse asked experts to weigh in. inverse.com/mind-body/is-c…
Collagen already accounts for about 30 percent of all our body’s protein. “Collagen is the scaffolding upon which the rest of the organ tissues and systems form,” Vedant Vaksha, an orthopedic and arthroscopic surgeon, said. “Even the brain has collagen.” inverse.com/mind-body/is-c…
“We lose approximately 1 percent of collagen per year starting in our 20’s,” said dermatologist Jeffery Hsu. A 2015 study revealed that collagen production decreases most quickly in those who experience “excess sun exposure, smoking, excess alcohol." inverse.com/mind-body/is-c…
