Our solar system is a constantly changing, dynamic region of space. A brilliant camera on NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter — a spacecraft circling the red planet — detected an impact site on the Martian surface that was...
Ground-based telescopes delivered the first real-time view of a red supergiant star’s death throes. While they are neither the brightest nor most massive stars, they are the biggest in terms of volume. An artist’s rendition...
To honor Earth Day, the Hi-Impact L&D team mounted an Insta360 ONE X2 action camera to a weather balloon and sent it into the sky, capturing an incredible view of the Earth from over 80,000 feet in the air. Last December, the...
Astronomers have found that gravitational forces inside the Solar System have produced an invisible network of “space superhighways.” These channels enable rapid space Travel and may be used for human space exploration...
Black holes are powerful cosmic reactors. They supply the energy for quasars and other active galactic nuclei (AGNs). This is due to the interplay between matter and its enormous gravitational and magnetic forces. A black...
New research indicates that a highly odd structure has been discovered in the outer parts of our Milky Way galaxy. The research, which has been published for publication in The Astrophysical Journal Letters, describes Cattail, a...
This new discovery is amazing as adds so much to our understanding of the Universe. One of the most entertaining names that I’ve come across in the physics sector is the “Oh My God Particle.” Scientists also refer to this...
45 years after its launch, NASA’s Voyager 1 is still Traveling beyond our Solar System. However, the veteran spacecraft is suddenly sending back unusual data that is baffling its engineers. While the probe is still operational,...
Two weeks before his death, famed scientist Stephen Hawking published a research article predicting parallel universes and along with the end of our own. Hawking and co-author Thomas Hertog published their results in “A Smooth...
The existeпtial пotioп of Earth-sized iпhabitable exoplaпets seems to be coпfroпtiпg oυr coпveпtioпal υпderstaпdiпg of the vast cosmos. However, the observatioпs made by the Kepler spacecraft iпfer that oпe oυt...
NASA’s Kepler Space Telescope discovered an Earth-like planet circling a nearby star within the Goldilocks zone of our galaxy. Kepler-186f is around 500 light-years from Earth in the Cygnus constellation. The habitable zone, also...
We all see mesmerizing views when flying, but some are more exceptional than others. A pilot flying over the Atlantic noticed one of these, according to a post shared on Reddit. The caption says, “Mysterious red glow seen over...
Our universe is so vast that it appears impossible for anything else to exist. Experts are beginning to suspect that our universe might exist inside a fourth-dimensional black hole. Our cosmos began as a singularity, a point in space...
In 1964, physicists Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson were working at Bell Labs in Holmdel, New Jersey, setting up ultra-sensitive microwave receivers for radio Astronomy observations. No matter what the two did, they couldn’t...
Although the Moon does have an atmosphere, it is very thin and mostly made of hydrogen, neon, and argon. This is not a gaseous combination capable of supporting oxygen-dependent Animals such as humans. On the Moon, there is an abundance...
China claimed that its massive Sky Eye telescope may have detected signals of extraterrestrial civilizations, according to a report by the state-backed Science and Technology Daily, which promptly removed the piece and related postings. The...
Between Mars and Jupiter lies an incredibly rare metallic asteroid that is worth more than the entire world economy. The Hubble Space Telescope has now provided us with a closer look at the object, which is estimated to be worth $10...
Amateur astronomers may soon be able to see a comet that was initially spotted back in 2017. Artist’s Impression of a comet passing through our solar system Comet C/2017 K2 (PANSTARRS), abbreviated as K2 for short, was once...
A massive comet that is nearing the end of its multimillion-year trip to the sun has reached the inner solar system and will make its closest approach to Earth in July. The Hubble telescope first detected comet C/2017 K2 in 2017...
Astronomers have discovered a star system unlike any other: six stars paired up into three binary systems, all orbiting one another as a gigantic cluster. There are a handful of other sextuple star systems out there, according to...
Scientists find proof of previous universes in the night sky, namely the leftovers of black holes from a previous universe. According to New Scientist, the concept is based on something known as conformal cyclic cosmology (CCC)....
