A team of astronomers has identified a planet similar to Earth that may have lost some of its atmosphere two hundred thousand years ago due to a collision.  Only 95 light-years away from Earth, MIT, National University of Ireland Galway, and Cambri…

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 …

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 bursts …

The James Webb Space Telescope has captured the first direct image of a distant exoplanet, a world beyond our Solar System. Webb has returned several pictures of the exoplanet HIP 65426 b, a gas giant six to twelve times the mass of Jupiter located…

If we send a crewed spaceship to Mars right now and it lands in a large canyon and starts exploring, they'll find a massive deposit of water. The ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter (TGO) mission discovered "large volumes of water" in the red plan…

Almost 1 billion years from this moment, the sun will enter its dying phase and blow off its outer atmosphere, eating our minute planet in hot plasma.  Fortunately, our galaxy will be left with NASA's twin Voyager spacecraft to remember u…

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 researchers provided inf…

Scientists used data from more than 30 years ago to learn more about Uranus’ magnetic field.  Scientists at the Georgia Institute of Technology reported that the planet’s magnetosphere turns on and off like a light switch every day. They used the d…

The James Webb Space Telescope took the first clear picture of an exoplanet, which is a planet outside of our Solar System. Webb has sent back a number of pictures of the exoplanet planet HIP 65426 b, which is a gas giant six to twelve times the …

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 identified as the Go…

Scientists have uncovered a ' aqua planet ' that resembles Kevin Costner's post-apocalyptic action thriller Waterworld from 1995. They claim the world, which is 100 light-years away, is totally covered in water, comparable to some of …

A group of researchers claims to have found what may be the first exoplanet ever discovered in a different galaxy. Although our galaxy may have billions of exoplanets, it is much more difficult to discover new planets even in the nearby galaxies.…

NASA claimed a few months ago that it had successfully created oxygen on Mars for the first time.  The Mars Oxygen In-Situ Resource Utilization Experiment (MOXIE) can now manufacture oxygen dependably, according to comprehensive results from the …

Jupiter, the huge gas giant that protects Earth and the inner planets from potentially catastrophic comet and asteroid collisions and is our solar system’s fifth planet from the Sun, is far more unusual than you’ve ever imagined.   Because the …

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 generations. …

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 identified a…

NASA's Scientific Visualization Studio (SVS) has published a remarkable video that depicts Earth in ways you've probably never seen before. The video is a time-lapse model of a category-4 typhoon that formed off the coast of China in 2005. Thr…

With a greater focus on asteroids and objects from deep space, as well as the possibility of a collision with Earth, astronomers have arrived for the first time at a planet that may have lost its atmosphere as a result of a collision with a massive ob…
