Some calculations done by scientists at the University of Edinburgh in the UK indicate the possibility that quantum signals could be used to establish communication over vast distances, which implies that our technology may need to be updated in order ...

A blood-red arc of light appeared in the sky above New Zealand on March 17, 2015. The spooky strip of light dubbed as STEVE was watched by an amateur skywatcher for another half hour before it was turned into one ...

We can simulate the Solar System’s planet movements quite precisely using Newton’s rules of physics. Disc galaxies, on the other hand, were found in the early 1970s to defy Newton’s theory, with stars at their outer borders moving far faster ...

A team of researchers has discovered the building elements of RNA in our galaxy. Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences published their results. Astronomers found some of these building pieces in a cloud located near the core of our galaxy, ...

An astrophysicist took this shot with a long exposure on June 18, 2018, just before the megacomet made its closest visit to Earth. The image shows the comet glowing in the darkness. Comet C/2017 K2 (PANSTARRS), also known as K2, ...

It’s important to know how steady the solar system is. The unpredictable and complicated character of the forces at play means that even minor gravitational impacts may have significant consequences because of their relative stability in human and historical perspectives. ...

The Sagittarius A* supermassive black hole located at the heart of our Milky Way galaxy is a true two-edged cosmic sword. While anything that gets too close will be trapped for eternity, the black hole also has the beneficial roles ...

When the Sun has fallen underneath the horizon or is just about to rise, noctilucent formations, often known as “night-shining” clouds, are the most common. They only emerge in the North Hemisphere skies for a few weeks each summer, and ...

One of NASA’s spacecrafts has lost touch after it broke off of the Earth’s gravity on its journey to the moon, according to reports. On Tuesday, the small CubeSat lost contact with the Deep Space Network and has not been heard ...

The most recent addition to NASA’s deep-space observatory fleet will soon begin focusing its attention on an area not too far away that is teeming with newborn stars. The James Webb Space Telescope is nearly finished with its commissioning process ...

Most astrophysicists agree that our Universe was born along with the Big Bang. However, that doesn’t necessarily mean that nothing existed before the birth of our Universe itself. Something totally different might have existed that cannot actually be considered part ...

All the astronomers and those passionate about the wonders of the Cosmos are impatiently waiting for NASA’s next-generation James Webb Space Telescope to reveal the first full-color photos of the Universe in just a few days. That event is scheduled ...

A comet more than double the magnitude of Mt. Everest has reached our solar system’s innermost reaches and will soon pass by our Earth’s orbit in the summer of this year. Originally identified by the Hubble Telescope throughout 2017 as ...

If you know about the Andromeda galaxy (aka Messier 31 or simply M31), you’re already well aware a bit of how incredible our Universe is. Andromeda is a galaxy more than twice as big as the Milky Way, and it’s ...

Over the weekend, our globe was struck by a geomagnetic storm, which surprised scientists in that it didn’t seem to be caused by a solar flare. Photographers were able to capture the storm when it coincided with a rare conjunction ...

The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO), which serves as NASA’s “eye in the sky” in orbit around the Moon, has located the impact site of the unidentified rocket booster that crashed into the opposite side of the Moon on March 4, ...

Many of us on Earth are concerned with software updates for the newest editions of Windows, but in the meantime, the European Space Agency’s (ESA) Mars Express probe has gotten the first upgrade to its Windows 98-based software in 19 ...

In our solar system, Jupiter was one of the earliest planets to form, but we know very little about the process through which it came to be. Jupiter, according to a new scientific research, is the biggest planet in our ...

We’re only a week away from the start of July 2022, and astronomy already has some exciting news for us. Comet C/2017 K2 (PANSTARRS), or you can simply call it K2, will pass by our planet and give us the ...

Many of us have seen astronauts colonizing the Red Planet in sci-fi movies without even thinking that such scenarios will ever have a chance to become a reality. Humanity is still far from that goal, but it appears to be ...

Because of the information that may be gleaned from asteroids and the meteorites that break off from them and plummet to Earth, astronomers will often refer to asteroids being time capsules. In light of the fact that the asteroid named ...

Astronomers, philosophers, scientists in general, and even ordinary people have been hoping for centuries to encounter civilizations from other planets. That moment may finally be here after China made a huge announcement that the giant ‘Sky Eye’ telescope might have ...

In a report that was released and then removed, Chinese scientists claim that their massive “Sky Eye” observatory may have managed to pick up indications of transmissions from a faraway extraterrestrial civilisation. Beijing Normal University scientists have uncovered many occurrences ...

An undiscovered black hole lurking in the Milky Way galaxy may be the world’s tiniest ever, according to one calculation of its mass. An isolated stellar-mass black hole was discovered earlier this year by a team headed by Space Telescope ...

Milky Way is just one out of countless other galaxies in the Universe. But even so, astronomers can have numerous stars and planets worth exploring. Hopefully, NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope will help the world study those remote worlds in ...
