The thrill of capturing the night sky with a Samsung flagship smartphone can indeed be priceless! It’s like trying to capture the essence of a galaxy with a shooting star-sized lens. But hey, with the right settings and a steady ...
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 ...
Even though 95% of the Universe is invisible and all of it has pretty much the same temperature everywhere, astronomers still made it possible to study many of the galaxies and stars existing out there. They probably didn’t cover even ...
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 ...
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 dead star on the run that is zipping across space at breakneck speeds has left a massive trail of matter as well as antimatter particles in its wake. The star is a pulsar known as PSR J2030+4415 or J2030 ...
A swarm of planet-forming dust has been discovered by astronomers to contain the biggest organic molecule yet seen, possibly providing fresh insights into how the building elements of life eventually wind up on planets. A team of researchers from the ...
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 ...
Many huge regions of the Cosmos present a fight for survival. Not even stars can bypass their evanescent state, regardless of how bright, big, and powerful they are. ‘Zombie’ stars don’t represent anything new for astronomers, but even they can ...
Astronomers have discovered a pair of odd stars that are unlike any other stars they have ever seen before, and that are coated with a perplexing accumulation of peculiar compounds. This cosmic unusual pair may have come into being as a ...
Planets do not take much longer to form after stars have formed. For example, the Sun formed 4.6 billion years ago, and the Earth about 4.5 billion years ago. However, scientists now say it is not necessarily the only possibility. ...
Astronomers have identified a strange planet not present in our solar system orbiting other stars. It is neither too large nor too tiny but falls between the Earth’s and Neptune’s radii. Dense “super-Earths,” more prominent than Earth, are found near ...
The sky full of wonders is going to be very generous to viewers this month. Grab a telescope or wake up at dawn and have a moment of beauty looking at the sky. Orion’s Other Nebulae! Outside of the iconic ...
On Wednesday, U.S. government scientists announced a crucial step forward in the long journey toward making nuclear fusion — the mechanism that generates power to stars – a viable energy source for humanity. Using the world’s most giant laser, the ...
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 ...
New space discovery leaves astronomers in awe, but it’s not the first of its kind. A new gamma-ray burst has been detected, and it’s considered the shortest ever found in association with a collapsar. Astronomers dubbed it GRB 200826A, and ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Ever wondered how baby stars are born? What shapes them and gives them the power to survive? With the help of a bold team of astronomers, we can finally watch the birth of a star and what it takes to ...
The Milky Way collision with Gaia-Enceladus, also known as Gaia Sausage, holds the key to an ancient secret: when the oldest stars in our galaxy formed. Astronomers discovered recently that many of the stars in the Milky Way were already ...
New insights on how high-mass stars are formed came from a bold Dutch-led team of astronomers. Their work is astonishing, and they succeeded in finding that one of the biggest stars in the Universe are actually created differently from the ...
A compact cluster of stars holds a surprise at its core, leaving astronomers in awe. Apparently, a bunch of stars and black holes can get well without a problem. The clump of stars in question, dubbed NGC 6397, is filled ...
A team of scientists from the LLNL (the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory) decided to reconstruct the original Solar System. As the Solar System was born, one of the most massive planets (Saturn and Jupiter) developed really quickly. And as they ...
