Departure from the International Space Station (ISS) leaves the space team amazed by the astonishing aurora lights. Although auroras frequently occur in space, a large expulsion of material from the Sun made this one memorable. The stunning polar lights reached the Earth displaying ...
Scientists found a new but relatively old galaxy shipyard, identical to the one our star system formed in. The G237 accumulation of galaxies currently sustains over 60 galaxies. Galaxy clusters are the biggest structures in the cosmos. Therefore the latest ...
A black hole is one of the deadliest objects in space. So far, it is the scariest thing we know to exist. However, science has evolved, and we now have a better understanding of it. According to Roger Penrose, a ...
Venus is slightly smaller than our planet but very similar in mass, density, composition, and gravity. However, compared to Earth, Venus doesn’t have the right environment to sustain life. At least not for now. While our planet provides the right ...
Exploring space is a huge challenge for humanity. NASA plans to send new astronomers to Moon by 2004. But, the broader plan is to set foot on Mars. However, scientists have a long way to understand how space affects our bodies. Is exploring deep ...
According to a recent study, our Milky Way is not as mixed as some scientists may think. The paper was published on Wednesday in the journal Nature, and it brings a new light to our galaxy’s history. Mapping the Metal ...
Experts use planetary radar in order to study asteroids. Scientists just discovered the 1,001st asteroid using this effective method. What does this method imply? Astronomers send a beam of radio light to a solar system object and then catch the ...
Are you a space nerd? Do you dream of someday stepping foot on another planet? If so, then you may be interested in hearing about a new effort being led by the National Natural Science Foundation of China. The goal ...
Scientists may have found a new Milky Way arm called “Cattail.” However, experts need to do further research in order to be sure this giant filament of gas and dust is part of our galaxy. Located at the outer edge ...
Open clusters are a loose grouping of stars formed from the same giant molecular cloud. All the stars inside an open cluster are around the same age, while one group ranges from a few tens to a few thousand stars. ...
