The Institute for Advanced Concepts at NASA is well-known for its promotion of far-fetched theories and proposals in the domains of astronomy and space exploration. The institution has been supporting a broad range of initiatives since its re-founding in 2011. ...
China’s National Space Administration (CNSA) reported on June 29 that the Tianwen-1 space probe has skilfully obtained photographs of the whole Red Planet over a year of exploration. “Quest for Heavenly Truth” Tianwen-1 is composed of six different spacecraft: an ...
The possibility of a planet-killing asteroid appearing out of nowhere, as shown in current media, is slim. Even smaller ones that might merely destroy a city or part of a continent attract enough attention to determine whether they’re a danger. ...
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 ...
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, ...
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, ...
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 ...
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 ...
Trojan worlds, which are co-orbiting planets, have not yet been discovered outside of our solar system. According to recent research, it’s odd considering that we see them all the time in our own backyards. It is not uncommon to see ...
The cosmos is a diverse and complicated system with many unanswered questions. To yet, the mapping of the universe by astronomers has shown that tiny galaxies may be randomly scattered around their hosts. However, new research shows that these small ...
