Astronomy Picture of The Day
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 the Atlantic,…
With more than 200,000 photos, two astrophotographers have just published what they call the "most ridiculously detailed picture" of the Moon to date. A breathtaking single image composed of more than 200,000 individual images of the Mo…
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…
When a massive star runs out of fuel, its core collapses into a dense object, ejecting the remaining gas in a process known as a supernova. What remains are mostly neutron stars or black holes. And now, Hubble seems to have documented the instan…
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…
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, …
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 fluctuations in sta…
Andromeda is on a collision course with our galaxy. Now begins the best time of year to capture it with the naked eye. This is what Andromeda galaxy will look like in the night sky if it were brighter. Our galaxy, the Milky Way, and its neighbor …
It will take thousands of years for humanity's fastest spacecraft to reach even the nearest stars. The Breakthrough Initiatives have been exploring the possibility of reducing this to decades, potentially allowing the scientists who launch the m…

Astronomers have discovered a gargantuan galaxy. Alcyoneus is a massive radio galaxy 3 billion light-years away that extend 5 megaparsecs into space. This structure is 16.3 million light-years long and is the biggest known structure of galactic origi…
Have you ever wondered what a black hole sounds like? Well, if you were wondering — or if you thought it was ominously silent — NASA has found out, and yes, black holes actually make noise. It’s worth a moment to listen because it’s strange, eer…
There are tens, hundreds, or even 1000 times more bright galaxies at the edge of space-time (soon after the big bang) than astronomers had predicted, according to the James Webb Space Telescope, which has only been observing the sky for a few weeks. …
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…
