Using data from the European Southern Observatory’s (ESO) La Silla Observatory in Chile, scientists have discovered the Earth-like planet that might be potentially the closest habitable planet so far. According to them, the planet...
Using Chandra Space Telescope, a team of astronomers has revealed changes in the behavior of a gassy structure, known as the “Green Blob.” Namely, this cosmic structure that is 650 million light-years away from...
Using the ESO’s Very Large Space Telescope, scientists made this new image of star cluster Messier 18. The cluster consists of young blue stars that are all born from the cloud of galactic gas...
The following time-lapse video contains the images captured by the astronauts from the International Space Station (ISS).
Using NASA’s Kepler Space Telescope, scientists found strong magnetic field inside 80 percent of stars. This finding can help scientists better understand how stars form and how it affects their further evolution.
NASA’s Kepler Telescope has detected more than 4,000 exoplanets and more than 200 of them in the so-called habitable zone. From that group, scientists have identified 20 planets that are potentially the most habitable.
The Helix Nebula was once a star, just like our Sun. Now, it represents the closest nebula, full of galactic gas and dust, with a white dwarf in its center. The nebula is located...
After sunset, Jupiter will appear as the evening star in the western sky. At the same time, Mars, Saturn, and Antares will be visible in the southwestern sky and will be closer to each...
Using ESO’s Very Large Array (VLA) and other space telescopes, astronomers found a new binary star system that pulses every 2 minutes. The system consists of the white dwarf that is 200,000 times the...
Using data from other telescopes such as NASA’s Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX) space telescope, scientists find a rare, bizarre Frankenstein galaxy that is formed by the parts of other neighboring galaxies. The monster galaxy...
The Hubble Frontier Fields program uses the galaxy cluster Abell S1063 as a cosmic lens to collect more data about deep space objects. Because of its mass, the gravitational pull of Abell S1063 forms...
Using the Atacama Large Millimeter/ submillimeter Array (ALMA) in Chile, scientists have found a protoplanetary disk, a cloud of stellar gas and dust that surrounds a young star, with a water snow line for...
Using the High Acuity Wide-field K-band Imager (HAWK-I) infrared camera on the ESO’s Very Large Space Telescope, scientists have captured a stunning new image of the Orion Nebula, a nebula full of young forming...
Scientists have revealed a dormant supermassive black hole while swallowing a star that comes too close. They use X-rays that enable them to get an idea of what had happened in the closeness of...
Using the Hubble Space Telescope, astronomers zoom in on the Crab Nebula, the nebula which is located in the Taurus constellation and is 6500 light-years away from our planet.
This video explores Orion Nebula, one of the brightest nebulae in our Universe, which represents a place where stars are grouped into clusters.
This video shows us a beautiful cluster of stars known as Westerlund 2. Westerlund 2 is located in the Carina constellation that is 20,000 light-years away from our planet.
During July, we can observe three evening planets – Jupiter, Mars, and Saturn. Jupiter will be visible in the western sky while Mars and Saturn can be seen in the southern part of the...
