The Sun blasted the biggest solar flare in 4 years, displaying quite the cosmic fireworks. NASA even released an incredible video of the event captured by the Solar Dynamics Observatory. The solar flare came from a sunspot dubbed AR2838 and ...

Just like any other object in the universe, even the mighty and scary black holes have to obey some rules in order to exist. In 1971, the famous genius and scientist Stephen Hawking argued that the black holes’ areas should ...

NASA’s Curiosity rover has detected tiny traces of methane on Mars several times in recent years. The emission could come from a geological process, but so far, scientists couldn’t really solve the mystery. What’s more intriguing is that Mars’ atmosphere ...

The world always needs more powerful tools to look deeper into the wonders of the Cosmos. Until only one hundred years ago, astronomers were sure that the Universe is infinite in space and time, and there’s no wonder why. All ...

Thinking of life on Mars might be quite the challenge. And not only for us but for scientists, too.  New data, however, show parts of Mars that have been habitable for thousands or even a million years. How is this ...

China aims to send the first humans to Mars and build a permanent base.  It’s great to see the country stepping up and committing to such daring and inspirational goals, but the competition is tough. NASA and SpaceX also plan ...

Even though astronomers are taking more and more seriously the idea to move to Mars in the next decades, humanity still has a lot more to learn about our neighbouring planet. Back in 2018, scientists discovered another incredible thing about ...

Amateur scientists have assisted astronomers in locating new gaseous planets. Two exoplanets are orbiting a star similar to our sun at 352 light-years away from our planet. Planet B and planet C, as the experts call them, orbit around star ...

An intriguing recent discovery shows us we’re pretty stealing the spotlight in the Universe. If you think Earth couldn’t do that, well, you’re about to change your mind. A team of bold scientists from the American Museum of Natural History ...

We may not know what dark matter really is, but a galaxy lacking this shadowy, invisible substance is quite odd. Recent Hubble data show that a galaxy as vast as the Milky Way has no spiral arms, no bright center, ...

NASA’s Juno enrolled five years ago in what seemed to be one of the most daring space missions ever planned. Since then, the bold spacecraft found its perfect place, in orbit around Jupiter. Now, we have some newly processed snapshots ...

Hubble is in trouble and NASA is now desperately trying to find a solution. How did this happen? A few days ago, Hubble’s payload computer just went offline. This device, aka the “brains”, is essential to the telescope’s science operations. ...

When the popular red supergiant began acting weird, some believed that it was about to go supernova, but scientists now know what is going on! Before the ongoing pandemic became such a headline-catcher, the possibility of the nearby giant star ...

The Universe’s chaos sometimes unfolds right in front of our eyes, unveiling some of the most incredible cosmic features ever seen. And astronomers don’t miss any chance to capture them. Recent discovery is no exception at all, and now we ...

If we take a look at the recent astronomical advancements and what many scientists want, building a little colony on Mars should be a feasible project for the next decades. China now joins the list of countries that are planning ...

The Universe witnesses some of the most impossible and curious space events, such as stars passing away, galaxy formation, or supermassive black hole creating chaos. A recent discovery takes us 13.1 billion years ago when the Universe was just a ...

Telescopes mounted on the surface of the Earth, or those that orbit around our planet don’t represent anything new, but as always, NASA wants to defy all odds. Telescopes mounted on the Moon may have been something you see only ...

A galaxy is unfathomably huge, as it usually contains hundreds of billions of stars. But since the Universe is much bigger, so big that nobody knows for sure where its boundaries are, there’s no telling if it could be a ...

Our Solar System’s heliosphere has never looked so great! Thanks to a team of astronomers, we now have the first-ever 3D map of the Solar System’s boundaries. This discovery could help us get a better image of our Solar System’s ...

Intriguing, recent discovery unveils over 100,000 stellar nurseries in all their glory! Astronomers at the PHANGS have charted the newly found nurseries across 90 galaxies, and each one is far more unique than first believed. Stars need tens of millions ...

Many astronomers worry that it’s only a matter of time until another devastating asteroid will smash into Earth, as it happened roughly 66 million years ago when the dinosaurs went extinct. Hopefully or not, most of us won’t be around ...

As the Universe unfolds right before our eyes, we could only be fascinated by its beauty or intrigued by its peculiarity. Recent discovery gets right to the odd category of, ‘what’s actually this thing’? Astronomers detected something strange near Milky ...

Black holes are usually resting at the core of almost every sufficiently large galaxy. So these cosmic features have their way with the galaxies, affecting only a small part around the galaxy’s centre. But how’s that really happening? Some predictions ...

NASA’s Juno enrolled in what seemed to be one of the most daring space missions: exploring Ganymede. Massive, heavily cratered, and grey, Jupiter’s largest moon unfolded in front of Juno’s eyes, unveiling a shocking aspect. How did Juno succeed to ...

As a new study about space travel emerges, we learn how our immune system is affected by something known as microgravity. It’s not a secret anymore. Astronauts became sick with various infections or with colds within just a week of ...
