There is a reserve of water the size of 140 trillion oceans lurking in a faraway supermassive black hole, the universe's largest deposit of water and 4,000 times the amount found in the Milky Way. This amount of water was discovered by two teams…
NASA's Kepler space telescope, though no longer active, continues to astound the astronomical community. Its data has led to the discovery of a system named Kepler-385, which boasts seven Earth-size planets, each one basking in a significant a…
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 hole technically lacks a…
According to scientists, all of the key elements of our DNA have now been discovered on meteorites. What exactly does this mean? Simply put, life on Earth might have originated in space. Over the previous century, space rocks that crashed on our …
Scientists from the Starshot Project claim to have discovered the fundamental bases to build a ship that will reach another solar system within our lifetimes. The dream of traveling to another star system for the first time in history is closer t…
Scientists have warned that the planets in our solar system might crash if Neptune's orbit is altered by only 0.1 percent by a passing star. The study, which was published in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, shows that a…
A multinational team of researchers led by academics from the University of Kent and Imperial College London has detected extraterrestrial particles in Antarctica, suggesting the continent was struck by an asteroid of medium size. Particles were…
We are beginning to realize how little we know about the universe as we continue to explore it. For example, the number of galaxies in the universe is still unknown, even though the consensus is that there are roughly 200,000 billion galaxies in the k…
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, why, still, haven…
After a week of anticipation, NASA has finally released a historic Hubble Space Telescope image – and it is really stunning. To summarise, the photograph seems to show the farthest distant star ever discovered by humans. According to the scientists b…
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, readouts from …
According to NASA, the Hubble Space Telescope has hit a new milestone in its efforts to determine how rapidly the universe is expanding, and it strongly suggests that something weird is occurring in our universe. In the past few years,astronomers…
There is a "dark object" in our galaxy that is creating gigantic holes. It is invisible, and it may not be composed of conventional matter. It may be something that astronomers have never before identified. And despite the fact that we cann…

Isn’t it beautiful? This is an illustrated logarithmic scale conception of the observable Universe with the Solar System at the centre. Encircling the Solar System are the inner and outer planets, Kuiper belt, Oort cloud, Alpha Centauri st…
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 repor…
Many people know about black holes and how terrifying they can be with their unending appetite for swallowing anything that is unfortunate enough to come close! However, many do not know about the counterpart, known as a white hole, which is ju…
If you had to identify Saturn out of a crowd, you'd most likely know it by its famous rings. They are our solar system's largest and brightest rings. Extending over 280,000 kilometres from the planet and wide enough to fit six Earths in a …
A fresh look at the Milky Way's center reveals intriguing, previously unseen features. The photos, taken with the South African MeerKAT radio telescope's ultrasensitive instrument, reveal around 1,000 filaments of magnetic material arrang…
Venera was a series of satellites launched by the Soviet Union in the 1970s and 1980s to study Venus’ environment. It was also the program aimed at returning the first images of the surface of another planet. Over the course of the program, …
