It has just been revealed that experts discovered the largest black hole in the Milky Way. Check out the latest reports about this below. Largest black hole in the Milky Way According to a study published on Tuesday, astronomers have ...
The relics of the old galactic core, when our galaxy was still young, are a scattering of stars dispersed across the Milky Way’s center. Astronomers now have proof of that, and it is genuinely incredible! A team of astronomers had ...
An undiscovered region of space called the “zone of avoidance” is the location of a galaxy cluster recently found by astronomers. About 10–20 percent of the night sky is blank, like a phantom zone, according to IFL Science. Its proximity ...
In recent years, cutting-edge telescopes around the world have spotted hundreds of gold-rich stars. These rich in gold stars likely originated in progenitor galaxies, smaller galaxies that combined to become our Milky Way, as shown by the most detailed models ...
According to a recent survey of exoplanets around red dwarf stars, there’s a rise in the population of water worlds. Apparently, we may have underestimated how much wetter the Milky Way galaxy is. What’s more curious is that the newly ...
NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has captured a spooky giant space tarantula, where the biggest and hottest stars live. The Tarantula Nebula, aka 30 Doradus, is actually known as the ‘brightest star-forming place in the galaxies nearest our galaxy,’ according ...
Here’s a mind-blowing fact that we need to deal with: if our planet had been located close to or in the Milky Way galaxy’s core, the entire sky would have been shining permanently. There would be no such thing as ...
A team of researchers has discovered the building elements of RNA in our galaxy. Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences published their results. Astronomers found some of these building pieces in a cloud located near the core of our galaxy, ...
The Sagittarius A* supermassive black hole located at the heart of our Milky Way galaxy is a true two-edged cosmic sword. While anything that gets too close will be trapped for eternity, the black hole also has the beneficial roles ...
Milky Way is just one out of countless other galaxies in the Universe. But even so, astronomers can have numerous stars and planets worth exploring. Hopefully, NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope will help the world study those remote worlds in ...
Astronomers know very well that our Milky Way galaxy is teeming with stars, planets, black holes, and other cosmic objects. But still, they sometimes remain speechless by new mysterious structures that they have trouble trying to understand. ScienceAlert.com brings the ...
Astronomers believe that there are trillions of galaxies out there in the Universe, which means that we should never be surprised when a new one is discovered. Even so, nature never ceases to amaze us. According to space.com, the Hubble ...
Whether normal people prefer to accept it or not, our planet floats around in space in the middle of the unknown. Astronomers had been well-aware of that for many decades. But even so, there are plenty of scientific discoveries that ...
Unfortunately for all of us, the Universe is not a friendly place as we like to believe or as we’ve been told. Meteors fly through the Earth’s atmosphere all the time, and there’s no wonder why a really big one ...
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 ...
According to best calculations, there might be 10 million to 1 billion stellar-mass black holes floating calmly and silently around the galaxy. When it comes to counting them, there’s just one problem: they’re virtually undetectable until they manage to catch ...
There are more discovered stars in the Universe than there are grains of sand on all the beaches from Earth. Therefore, it’s easy to conclude that our Milky Way galaxy is also loaded with stars. Astronomers estimate that there’s a ...
If you’re among those who swore eternal love for heavy metal music, you should now know that it’s at least one exoplanet out there that might be even more metal than you. Being composed of iron by roughly 80 percent, ...
Astronomy never ceases to amaze us. With every month that passes, discoveries emerge in the field. The more we learn about our nature, the more we grow as individuals. Exoplanets (planets from other solar systems) have been theorized long ago, ...
When we hear the term “extraterrestrial life”, the first thing we imagine is represented by little green men with big black eyes. But aliens could be the size of microbes and in much more different forms than any of us ...
Our galaxy is quite ravishing as it unfolds right before our eyes. Astronomers are thrilled anytime they find something peculiar about it because they’re closer to solve some long-standing mysteries. A recent discovery unveils that Milky Way has an odd ...
Exoplanets are pretty much everywhere out there in the vastness of the Cosmos. Almost every shiny star that we see in the night sky should have exoplanets revolving around it. But since findings exoplanets with powerful telescopes isn’t something new, ...
Rogue planets, meaning cosmic objects that aren’t bonded to any solar system, are believed to be pretty common in the Universe. But astronomers would not have believed that they can find an entire population of such planets floating in space. ...
The Milky Way is so huge that the human imagination cannot possibly depict it. Our galaxy measures roughly 100,000 light-years in diameter, meaning that it’s so big that nobody would ever be able to go from one of its edges ...
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 ...
