Scientists have previously thought that dark matter makes the stars so dense that they eventually burst into black holes. However, the recent research makes scientists think that dark matter inside stars make their core...
Gemini Planet Imager (GPI) on the Gemini South telescope in Chile has captured images of a distant star β Pictoris (Beta Pictoris) and its orbiting gas giant planet. The star is located in the...
This video represents a compilation of images of our planet, the Milky Way and the Universe. We can see astonishing pictures of the Earth’s most beautiful phenomenon – Aurora Borealis, and the colorful and...
This new image of Nebula Messier 17 has been captured by the Wide Field Imager on the MPG/ESO 2.2-meter telescope at ESO’s La Silla Observatory in Chile. The nebula is known by its many...
Scientists have discovered a pair of black holes, swinging around each other, this year. According to the latest research, they have found that the black holes will collide sooner than they have previously thought....
A team of astronomers reveals that the Wolf-Lundmark-Melotte (WLM) dwarf galaxy, which is 3 million light years from Earth, produce dense clouds that can form star clusters. They are puzzled by the ability of...
By using NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope and Spitzer Space Telescope, scientists have discovered a galaxy that is the most distant they have detected till today. The galaxy is known as EGS8p7 and is the...
By using data from different systems of telescopes, scientists detected a “radio phoenix”, an electron cloud that radiates at radio frequencies. This phenomenon has emerged when one galaxy cluster slams into another, in this...
This video explains what ‘ghost particles’ or neutrinos are and how they are created. Scientists from Italian underground laboratory revealed that these mysterious, tiny particles are formed in the Earth’s interior, far deeper than...
A team of scientists examined a supernova in the galaxy UGC 5189A with the Very Large Telescope in Chile and discovered the mystery about stardust produced by supernova explosions. They found out that the...
NASA’s astronomers have spotted the 10th planet orbiting around two stars that make the circumbinary system, the system completely unknown before Kepler mission. The exoplanet, known as Kepler 453b, is 6.2 times larger than...
The planetary nebula ESO 378-1, known as Southern Owl Nebula, is placed in the constellation Hydra, which is about 3,250 light-years away from our planet. This ghostly nebula has been captured by ESO’s Very...
NASA confirms the discovery of three Earth-like planets in our closest neighborhood. A newly discovered planetary system contains 4 planets – 3 super-Earths and one giant planet, orbiting around a K – dwarf star...
The month begins with Saturn as the evening planet, which can be visible in the southwestern part of the sky. Constellations Lyra and Cygnus will be visible during this summer month. By using a...
NASA’s Dawn spacecraft has revealed a haze that occasionally appears on Ceres’ mysterious bright spots. Scientists try out to find an answer for the appearance of the white spots and discovery of the haze...
NASA astronomers have discovered an Earth-like planet, Kepler 452-b, in the constellation Cygnus that is 1,400 light-years away from our planet. Kepler 452-b is located in the habitable zone, which means that the temperature...
This video explores the stars in our Universe. Akila Jeeson-Daniel, an Affiliate Postdoc at the University of Melbourne, explains what kinds of stars exist in our Universe and how their life cycles look like.
According to physicists, there are four fundamental forces that manifest in our Universe: strong nuclear force, weak nuclear force, gravitational force, and electromagnetic force. However, electromagnetism is the force that we are often unaware...
