The Universe’s chaos sometimes unfolds right in front of our eyes, unveiling some of the most incredible cosmic features ever seen. And astronomers don’t miss any chance to capture them. Recent discovery is no exception at all, and now we ...
If we take a look at the recent astronomical advancements and what many scientists want, building a little colony on Mars should be a feasible project for the next decades. China now joins the list of countries that are planning ...
The Universe witnesses some of the most impossible and curious space events, such as stars passing away, galaxy formation, or supermassive black hole creating chaos. A recent discovery takes us 13.1 billion years ago when the Universe was just a ...
Telescopes mounted on the surface of the Earth, or those that orbit around our planet don’t represent anything new, but as always, NASA wants to defy all odds. Telescopes mounted on the Moon may have been something you see only ...
A galaxy is unfathomably huge, as it usually contains hundreds of billions of stars. But since the Universe is much bigger, so big that nobody knows for sure where its boundaries are, there’s no telling if it could be a ...
Our Solar System’s heliosphere has never looked so great! Thanks to a team of astronomers, we now have the first-ever 3D map of the Solar System’s boundaries. This discovery could help us get a better image of our Solar System’s ...
Intriguing, recent discovery unveils over 100,000 stellar nurseries in all their glory! Astronomers at the PHANGS have charted the newly found nurseries across 90 galaxies, and each one is far more unique than first believed. Stars need tens of millions ...
Many astronomers worry that it’s only a matter of time until another devastating asteroid will smash into Earth, as it happened roughly 66 million years ago when the dinosaurs went extinct. Hopefully or not, most of us won’t be around ...
As the Universe unfolds right before our eyes, we could only be fascinated by its beauty or intrigued by its peculiarity. Recent discovery gets right to the odd category of, ‘what’s actually this thing’? Astronomers detected something strange near Milky ...
Black holes are usually resting at the core of almost every sufficiently large galaxy. So these cosmic features have their way with the galaxies, affecting only a small part around the galaxy’s centre. But how’s that really happening? Some predictions ...
NASA’s Juno enrolled in what seemed to be one of the most daring space missions: exploring Ganymede. Massive, heavily cratered, and grey, Jupiter’s largest moon unfolded in front of Juno’s eyes, unveiling a shocking aspect. How did Juno succeed to ...
As a new study about space travel emerges, we learn how our immune system is affected by something known as microgravity. It’s not a secret anymore. Astronauts became sick with various infections or with colds within just a week of ...
NASA’s new mission will finally take us closer to Jupiter’s moon Ganymede. Today (June 7), spacecraft Juno will reach within 1,038 kilometres (645 miles) of Ganymede’s surface. Juno will be the first mission to provide a close encounter with Jupiter’s ...
Magnetars have been in the spotlight for quite some time, and astronomers’ work has been really puzzled by this very rare type of neutron star. So far, we have 24 confirmed magnetars, and the list could soon grow. The recent ...
Two new exciting space missions have just been announced by NASA, and we’ll finally return to Venus! As per NASA’s statement, both missions will try to understand how our planetary neighbour became what’s today: a hell-like world. How the space ...
NASA celebrates Perseverance’s 100th day (100 sols) on our planetary neighbour. The vehicle-sized rover and its little bold companion, Ingenuity, arrived inside Mars’ Jezero Crater on February 18. Since then, the robotic duo reached several milestones, including the first controlled ...
Dark matter is one of the most intriguing subjects in the Universe, even if it has puzzled scientists’ work for decades. However, as complicated as dark matter seems to be, that doesn’t mean we can’t use it to explore the ...
Space debris is a severe threat to space agencies worldwide. So far, over 20,000 pieces the size of a softball or larger are being hunted in low-Earth orbit to protect satellites and the International Space Station. But, sometimes bad luck ...
The Curiosity rover offers a new fascinating glimpse of Mars, unveiling the planet’s thin atmosphere, and surprisingly, clouds! According to scientists, cloudy days are pretty rare on the Red Planet. They are, however, more frequent at the planet’s equator, but ...
NASA made history on April 19 with the first controlled flight on another planet. The little helicopter has bravely pierced the Martian atmosphere in what seemed to be one of the most challenging missions on Mars. And it didn’t stop ...
A new study shows enough proof to support the existence of helium rain inside planets. After four decades, scientists finally discuss that helium rain is possible over a range of temperature and pressure conditions that reflect those supposed to happen ...
Our galaxy is a spiral galaxy that comprises a disc of stars, dust, and gas, and its spiral arms are delimited. Initially, scientists believed that the disc was just flat. Later on, they figured out something else. Apparently, the Milky ...
A new method of analyzing planetary atmospheres reveals data about the initial composition of the atmospheres of rocky exoplanets. Researchers from the UC Santa Cruz released a paper recently discussing the technique, process, and findings. The ancient atmospheres of rocky ...
Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are some super-intense radio wave pulses from the deep Universe that puzzled astronomers’ work for quite some time. The phenomenon is mysterious yet fascinating, and so far, we couldn’t tell much anything about them. The recent ...
ALMA (the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array) offers new data about the most ancient galaxy of its kind ever observed. By the looks of it, things look a bit complicated. Researchers, however, think otherwise. This discovery is essential to solving long-standing ...
