Mars has become the dream destination for many astronomers in recent years. Although humans probably won’t get the chance to move there, at least in the next decades or centuries, sending spacecraft on the Red Planet to gather as much ...
Do you know how essential gravity is in the Universe? It acts as a peculiar ‘glue,’ that ties everything together strangely yet fascinating. We can also use gravity to spot distant cosmic features, an effect dubbed gravitational lensing predicted by ...
Black holes are sometimes called “the ultimate monster of the cosmos”—an In. They formed when the density of matter in the Universe was at its highest—and thus, they become very dangerous for any object in their vicinity. Black holes are ...
Our galaxy is quite ravishing as it unfolds right before our eyes. Astronomers are thrilled anytime they find something peculiar about it because they’re closer to solve some long-standing mysteries. A recent discovery unveils that Milky Way has an odd ...
There had always been interesting mysteries revolving around planet Saturn. Why is the space object made almost entirely of gases? Why does it have those iconic and beautiful rings? Why is it so huge in the first place? Why does ...
Ever wondered how sunlight is on other planets? Well, you may never know when you could actually come across some proof! Venus is well-known for its inhospitality. It’s a nightmarish planet, rough at edges, and apparently, the most reflective planet ...
Our Sun is estimated to be about 4.6 billion years old. That estimate was formed via models of Sun-like stars, plus observations of comparable stars. However, scientists also know that the Sun became hotter as time passed, and estimates suggest ...
Asteroid Bennu had stirred quite the controversy recently when a team of scientists reexamined the asteroid’s trajectory to figure out when it’ll collide with Earth. For now, we are safe, but we’re not sure how it’ll be in the year ...
New data offered by NASA’s Juno probe unveil Jupiter’s moon, like never before! Ganymede stuns in an infrared picture, leaving astronomers in awe. Juno’s observations help scientists understand Jupiter and its moon better, unraveling mysteries about the intriguing Jovian system. ...
The Universe has a long history, the longest of all. It started roughly 13.7 billion years ago along with the Big Bang, a phenomenon that appeared with no apparent cause, had energy from apparently nowhere and started to expand without ...
Our dusty planetary neighbor, Mars, has a bare and stark landscape. You may think that there’s nothing there to see, but recent data unveil something odd yet stunning. Seeing a volcanic plain pierced with impact craters is genuinely intriguing and ...
NASA has just announced the great news of rover Perseverance and its first drill hole on our planetary neighbor. Even if the rover’s first attempt to collect rock samples was a failure, in the end, it proved that it has ...
Exoplanets are pretty much everywhere out there in the vastness of the Cosmos. Almost every shiny star that we see in the night sky should have exoplanets revolving around it. But since findings exoplanets with powerful telescopes isn’t something new, ...
NASA marks an incredible space milestone thanks to its bold rover Curiosity! The car-sized robot has now been exploring the Red Planet for 9 years. Curiosity began its journey back in November 2011 and reached Mars’ Gale Crater on August ...
A recent study conducted by NASA scientists implies that the “roughness” of the Moon’s surface and the shadows that fill it may be where solid water is hiding. Though the Moon looks a lot like a dried-up husk, there are ...
An unfortunate technical problem delayed Boeing’s second attempt at reaching the ISS, but now it is prepared for its journey. You can watch the launch live this Tuesday! The company’s second attempt at launching the Starliner crew capsule will occur ...
Scientists have just learn something very interesting about our sun! There are slow-moving waves of plasma on the sun, and they could actually help us understand what’s going on with the star’s magnetic field. NASA’s Solar Dynamic Observatory (SDO) has ...
Black holes are scary enough not to look further into the depths of the Universe. These savages beasts rest at the galaxies’ centers, weighing millions of times the mass of the Sun. They’re also the most mysterious objects that continue ...
New space discovery leaves astronomers in awe, but it’s not the first of its kind. A new gamma-ray burst has been detected, and it’s considered the shortest ever found in association with a collapsar. Astronomers dubbed it GRB 200826A, and ...
Look closely at the night sky with the naked eye for a few nights in a row. What do you see? If you didn’t see any meteors, you’ve been unlucky. Relatively small space rocks enter our atmosphere every day. Most ...
NASA’s bold mission to reach Jupiter’s ocean moon Europa is now supported by SpaceX. The news that SpaceX will offer NASA a rocket ride to the moon Europa emerged recently. If all goes by the plan, the $4.25 billion Europa ...
Scientists finally know how’s the nighttime weather on Venus thanks to a new technique! Our planetary neighbor is quite fascinating, but it can be a real challenge for scientists, especially when it comes to weather. We’ve known very little about ...
Not even all the money in the world will save you from death. Everybody dies, and in the end, there will be no trace of human beings on Earth. Our planet will become a total wasteland or even completely shattered, ...
The Hubble Space Telescope is now fixed thanks to a successful risky maneuver performed by NASA! The most powerful space telescope experienced a mysterious glitch for few weeks. The great news has just been announced along with a full report ...
A new study has recently shown that pieces of evidence of ancient life are present on Mars. The curiosity rover has made an interesting discovery while it was looking at a sedimentary rock rich in clay. It was found near ...
