The following video explains how the general public can observe a live planet hunt that will last from January to April 2016. We can follow the scientists in their efforts to find out an...
By using Atacama Large Millimeter/ submillimeter Array (ALMA) have discovered the most luminous galaxy, known as W2246-0526, which is, in fact, a chaotic galaxy that is tearing itself apart. The galaxy is 12,4 billion...
The international team, known as the All Sky Automated Survey for SuperNovae team (ASAS-SN), has discovered the brightest supernova that was about 50 times more luminous than the Milky Way. The powerful supernova is...
This video explores bubbles, the important physical phenomenon we can find in our Universe. Cosmic bubbles are created from the cosmic material. For example, the Bubble Nebula is blown up by a star that...
During 2003, scientists observed quasar SDSS J1011+5442 and explored its properties. Meanwhile, they acquired data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) telescope and concluded that the quasar changed dramatically. Namely, it has somehow...
By using data from the Kitt Peak National Observatory and NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory, scientists reveal a supermassive black hole in Messier 51b galaxy while was burping two huge waves of gas. They think...
The following video shows a collection of images that were captured during 2015. We can enjoy the beautiful sights of distant stars, galaxies, and other celestial objects.
This video shows the highlights of the January sky. As evening star, we can look for Jupiter, which rises in the eastern sky, just before the midnight. The constellation Auriga and Taurus will be...
By using data from the NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory, scientists have discovered a galaxy cluster in the constellation of Hercules, known as Zwicky 8338, with the largest galactic tail. The galactic tail is long...
By using the Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX) telescope, scientists have found distant stars in the environment that they have not expected star existence. The phenomenon is known as stellar extremophiles, the concept similar to...
Scientists have discovered the closest Earth-like planet, which is only 14 light-years away from our Solar System. The habitable planet is the middle one in the system of three planets that orbit a red...
By using the Very Energetic Radiation Imaging Telescope Array System (VERITAS) and the Fermi Gamma-Ray Space Telescope, astronomers have discovered that the source of gamma rays that reached the Earth in April 2015 is...
By using NASA’s Hubble and Spitzer telescopes, astronomers have explored ten Jupiter-like exoplanets to find a clue about missing water. Namely, it appears that exoplanets contain less water than it was expected. However, thick...
By using data from Kepler and Spitzer telescopes, astronomers have discovered a tiny L-dwarf star, called W1906+40 with a giant storm the size of the Jupiter’s Great Red Spot. This L-dwarf has a temperature...
By using ESO’s Very Large Space Telescope, scientists have found a white dwarf galaxy that was born from the cosmic collision. Scientists believe that a collision with another galaxy had happened 360 million years...
The ESO’s Very Large Telescope has captured the glowing nebula RCW 34, also known as Gum 19. The nebula represents the region of young forming stars in the constellation Vela that is about 8,150...
By using the LCOGT network of telescopes, astronomers have discovered a Neptune-sized exoplanet, which atmosphere has a blue hue. The planet is only 100 light-years distant from the Earth and orbits around a red...
