Marcella Pace is a primary school teacher from Italy who is fascinated with the Moon and photography. The combination of the two fueled her passion in astrophotography to the point where NASA chose several of her images as Astronomy...
A team of researchers has uncovered evidence for yet another exoplanet circling Proxima Centauri, our nearest neighboring star at a distance of little over four light-years. The planet, known as Proxima d, is the third discovered in...
Astronomers from the University of Canterbury (UC) has discovered a spectacular new exoplanet at the heart of the Milky Way Galaxy. The planet is important as it is one of just a handful of similar exoplanets identified so far. According...
It turns out that stars like our sun do not have to be alive and strong in order to support life on planets orbiting them. Scientists discovered a possible “major planet” circling a fading sun that might host life for future...
We are facing an anomaly over South Atlantic, researchers are calling it South Atlantic Anomaly. It is a region of the Earth’s magnetic field that has shifted so much that satellites get disrupted when they fly through it. The...
A Harvard scientist has proposed a novel theory for how our cosmos came to be: in a laboratory by a higher “class” of lifeform. Avi Loeb, bestselling author and former chair of Harvard’s Astronomy department, wrote...
NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory – SDO – has been continuously monitoring the Sun, for more than a decade now. SDO has collected 425 million high-resolution photographs of the Sun while orbiting Earth, gathering 20 million...
These beautifully real images are some of the closest images of Jupiter. Jupiter is the fifth planet from the Sun and the largest in the Solar System. It is a gas giant with a mass more than two and a half times that of all the other...
“The Ganymede Ocean (the largest and most massive moon of Jupiter and in the Solar System) is believed to contain more water than Europa’s,” says Olivier Witasse, a project scientist working on European Space Agency’s...
According to worrying new research, scientists have identified a strong new strain of fact-resistant people that are endangering the Earth’s capacity to support life. The University of Minnesota study finds a virulent strain...
Wolf Cukier, a junior at Scarsdale High School in New York, got a two-month internship with NASA during his junior year. So he went to NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland. His first task was to investigate...
According to a research paper published in Nature, astronomers detected a “really weird” object 4,000 lightyears distant from Earth. Every other minute, the object vanishes from view and produces a massive burst of radio...
It turns out that your life may literally flash before your eyes as you die, according to some researchers in a recent first-of-its-kind report that revealed dying people’s brain activity. According to the team’s report...
Famous physicist Prof. Brian Cox has recently made an entry in one of Astronomy’s most inquisitive and vital questions: Given the high possibility of intelligent alien life randomly prevailing in the ceaselessly massive universe,...
A team of scientists obtained a magnificent photograph of a faraway galaxy, reminding us all how little we are in the grand scheme of things. Artist’s impression of the monster galaxy COSMOS-AzTEC-1. This galaxy is located 12.4...
In this view of Venus acquired by an infrared camera aboard Japan’s Akatsuki Venus Climate Orbiter, dark higher-altitude clouds hide the lighter mid-altitude clouds. Phosphine gas found in temperate mid-latitude clouds is tantalizing...
Estimates by astronomers indicate that there could be more than 100 BILLION Earth-like worlds in the Milky Way that could be home to life. Think that’s a big number? According to astronomers, there are roughly 500 billion galaxies...
A team of astronomers has discovered new details of one of the strangest cosmic structures in the universe. So strange that they are literally referred to as “Odd Radio Circles” (ORC). These colossal phenomena may have...
The University of Sydney reported that astronomers uncovered a mystery signal originating from the galaxy’s core that “fit no currently understood the pattern of the variable radio source and could suggest a new class of...
According to data released by NASA’s Center for Near-Earth Object Studies(CNEOS), astronomers will be able to observe a roughly 4,000 foot-wide. According to the NASA database, the asteroid is 2001 CB21, and it is expected...
You don’t need to be an expert in science to understand that black holes often pull things in rather than spit them out. However, NASA has just discovered something quite weird around the supermassive black hole Markarian 335. This...
