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…

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…

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…

The largest diamond in the cosmos is not found on Earth. In reality, it is a white dwarf star called BPM 37093 or V886 Centauri. An " extinct " or " dead " star is a white dwarf star. Diamond-shaped V886 Centauri floats in outer sp…

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 waves three times a…

An international team of scientists has discovered the first radio signal from a planet beyond our solar system, coming from an exoplanet system 51 light-years away. The previous article has been updated. The researchers discovered emission burst…

The Milky Way galaxy is made up of 200 billion stars and maybe 100 billion planets. Even if just a tiny proportion of those planets maintained life, and even if only a pitiful scattering of those planets had intelligent lifeforms, our galaxy would be …

It's difficult to look at the Sun. You will incur eye injury if you do it yourself. If you perform it on Earth with very sophisticated scientific equipment, you'll observe that the atmosphere gets in the way.  You must look from space for t…

HD 140283 is a subgiant star estimated to be 14.46 billion years old. That may raise an eyebrow or two among those who recall the universe's estimated age of 13.77 billion years. This star, commonly referred to as the Methuselah star, seems to be …

Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity has passed another test. Researchers have discovered a slight adjustment in the orbit of the nearest known star to the supermassive black hole at the heart of the Milky Way after almost three decades …

Gliese 710, also known as HIP 89825, is a 0.6 M ☉  orange star in the constellation Serpens Cauda. It is expected to pass close to the Sun in approximately 1.29 million years, at a minimum distance of 0.1663 light-years (10,520 astronomical units) (ab…

NASA has reported the finding of the first planet that is truly Earth-like. This discovery was made possible by the Kepler Space Telescope, which was launched in March 2009 and has been searching for planets for the last five years.  “It is the first …

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 stellar object."…

Today, NASA released the first photographs from the innovative next-generation space telescope JWST, depicting the first photons of light collected by the telescope as it aligns itself to observe the universe's earliest objects and events. While t…
