Astronomers Discovered the Large Supervoid in the Universe
Scientists from the University of Hawaii’s Institute for Astronomy confirmed the existence of the vast, cold spot in our Universe, which density of galaxies is significantly lower than in the other parts of space....
A Distant, White Dwarf Star ‘Eats’ Its Closest Planet
By using several telescopes, as well as NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory, astronomers have found evidence that a white dwarf star destroyed its closest planet. White dwarf star, scientists called the star, which burned up...
How Distant Is the Nearest Star System from Ours?
The Alpha Centauri system is the closest star system to ours, which is 4.37 light-years away from the Sun. But, can we really imagine what these 4.37 light years mean? This video helps us...
Scientists Begin to Unmask a Magnetic Field of Black Holes
Massive black holes usually lie at the centers of galaxies. Galaxies that have not a black hole at their center rotate around quasars. By using ALMA telescopes from Chile, Swedish scientists went deeper into...
Amateur Astronomers Found out Yellow Balls in Space
During the years, astronomy volunteers have been searching many images taken by the Spitzer Space Telescope and explored the process of star formation in our Milky Way. They start seeing the yellow balls in...
Planets, Constellations, and Events in the April’s Night Sky
The month begins with Venus setting on the western horizon, as an evening planet. During the end of April, its place will occupy Mercury and will be visible after the setting.
Galaxy Collision
When two galaxies come very close to each other, they collide. Scientists believe that elliptical galaxies are mostly products of the process of collision. This video explores the phenomenon.
