Recent simulations reveal that what scientists previously assumed were coronal loops of plasma emerging from the Sun’s surface following magnetic field lines really might be creases in ribbed sheets of plasma. Scientists have coined the term “coronal veil” to describe ...
Russia started to invade Ukraine on February 24, and nobody knows for sure how the horror will end. The ongoing invasion has captured the attention of the whole world, and sanctions have already started to be imposed. As a result, ...
Scientists have discovered for the first time, with the help of the most sophisticated telescopes that we have on this planet, as well as in space, a neutron star consuming stuff from a neighboring star, which is producing bursts of hot, ...
During its quest to better comprehend our sun, the Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope (DKIST) is launching its first active scientific work as part of its first operational science phase. DKIST is a roughly $300 million scientific observatory built atop ...
A weird X-ray light observed in the skies three years after an incredible collision between two neutron stars is a scientific first. According to scientists investigating the area of space, the merger may have formed an afterglow from the kilonova ...
In 2020, a team coordinated by the European Southern Observatory (ESO) scientists announced the discovery of the nearest black hole to Earth, found in the HR 6819 system at a distance of only 1,000 light-years. However, other scientists, notably an international ...
An astronomers team has detected a pair of enormous black holes on the verge of a cataclysmic merger that would shatter space-time. The black holes, named PKS 2131-021, are around 9 billion light-years away from our planet, per research released ...
Despite the considerable buzz around an interesting snapshot taken on our neighboring planet, there is still no evidence of alien life on Mars at any stage of development. Curiosity, NASA’s Mars rover, obtained a fascinating photograph of what seems to ...
Researchers originally documented a 1.15-mile-wide crater in a northeast China mountain range in 2019; later last year, a NASA satellite observed the crater from orbit, providing a fresh perspective on the impact’s effects. Yilan County in Heilongjiang Province is home ...
A supermassive black hole located 9 billion light-years distant seems to be orbited by a partner black hole. The orbit diminishes, bringing the duo closer to combining. At the center of most galaxies, you can find supermassive black holes billions ...
Imagine a world where the ‘Fear of the Dark’ song by Iron Maiden doesn’t have any meaning to you, as night doesn’t exist anymore. Although that’s a magnificent song that reveals the inner fear that many of us have, surely ...
During its most recent mission to the surface of Mars, the Curiosity rover captured a photograph of something rather appealing. While the thing in issue seems to be a small little flower or possibly some sort of biological feature, the ...
Dwarf Planet Ceres may be spouting cryovolcanoes from one more location on its crust. Close-up images from NASA’s Dawn mission, which orbited Ceres from 2015 to 2018, showed salt deposits in the crater Urvara, which were discovered for the first ...
McGill University academics and engineers claim to have developed a new laser-propelled spaceship capable of transporting passengers from Earth to Mars in a little over six weeks. As per NASA’s estimations, the possible journey time for mankind to reach Mars is ...
The galaxies, stars, planets, and not to mention natural satellites, none of them always existed. Gravity is one of the main factors that led to their formation, but some other factors could have also occurred. Our Moon is no exception. ...
A billion years ago, an utterly massive crash of two clusters of galaxies resulted in a pair of incredibly epic shock waves. The formations are so massive that they could easily encompass the Milky Way galaxy’s approximated 100,000 light-year diameter, ...
A new picture shot by NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope shows an odd triangular shape generated by two galaxies colliding in a cosmic tug-of-war. According to a NASA press release, the merger between the two galaxies sparked a star-forming frenzy, resulting ...
On the far side of the Moon, China’s Yutu-2 expedition has uncovered yet another remarkable finding. The rover’s panoramic camera spotted two little complete orbs of clear glass glistening among the dry, gray dust. As it turns out, glass isn’t ...
According to recent study, published in the journal Nature Astronomy, WASP-121b, a gigantic gas giant circling a star around 855 light-years from Earth, may feature metal clouds and liquid gem showers. Originally identified in 2015, the exoplanet is classified as ...
“Super-Earths” keep popping up. The most numerous exoplanets are those between Earth and Neptune in size, yet they’re also the most perplexing. Are they rocky like Earth, complete with atmospheres and liquid water, but much larger? Or are they “mini-Neptunes” ...
Antares is one of the brightest stars in the sky (roughly the fifteenth). It’s thousands of times bigger than the Sun, but don’t worry, it won’t engulf us as far as astronomers know. The red giant star is located 554 ...
Alpha Centauri, another vibrant space neighborhood, is just around 4 light-years distant from our solar system. There is just one major flaw. Spacecraft dispatched to Alpha Centauri with current technology would not reach until roughly the year 82022. That’s why, ...
According to analysts, the piece of space debris headed for the Moon most likely originated from Beijing’s lunar exploration program. China disputed responsibility for the rocket, which was launched on Sunday and is scheduled to crash into the Moon on ...
The International Space Station is indeed one of the most famous pieces of space gear in history, but its days are officially limited. The International Space Station is going to be decommissioned in 2031, according to NASA. The space station, ...
Our brain’s structure and function may alter and adapt throughout our lifetimes. Understanding the consequences of spaceflight on brain structures is critical as human space exploration expands to new heights. Previous studies have revealed that space exploration has the ability ...
