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…
Up until recently, astronomers have had difficulty separating probable alien signals from those created by humans. Thanks to a new artificial intelligence-trained system, eight unexplained radio signals have already been found, which experts think …
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 …
Astronomers have just found a brand-new planet in the neighborhood galaxy that resembles Earth. It's just 186 trillion miles, or 31 light-years, away. This barely seems like a small distance by human standards. In actuality, the trip would tak…
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…
According to Universe Today, a group of astronomers has found 25 fast radio bursts (FRBs), which are enigmatic and very powerful radio wave pulses that recur in intricate patterns. In data collected between 2019 and 2021 by the Canadian Hydrogen In…
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…
Could there be a world even more suitable for life than ours, given the assumption that everything we know always starts from the known, in this instance from our planet Earth? As strange as it may seem to you, there is a potentially habitable rock…
The polar ice caps have fully melted and the water level has risen to more than 5 miles, swallowing practically all of the land, in the post-apocalyptic action movie "Waterworld" from 1995. Unlike any planet in our solar system, astronom…
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…
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…
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…
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 of oxygen. It …
As an astrophysicist, I am always struck by the fact that even the wildest science-fiction stories tend to be distinctly human in character. No matter how exotic the locale or how unusual the scientific concepts, most science fiction ends up being a…
