Scientists have announced that recently discovered Earth-like planet is our closest neighbor, Proxima B, which orbits around Proxima Centauri, the red dwarf. Trace Dominguez from DNews explains what this discovery actually means.
Messier 78 is part of the constellation Orion that is centered around the well-known Orion Nebula. As frequently neglected nebula, Messier 78 is a reflection nebula that lies 1,600 light-years away from our planet.
A team of astronomers at the University of Warsaw has captured all the phases of a supernova explosion for the first time. The supernova, they observed from 2003, is known as Nova Centauri 20098....
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 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...
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...
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...
This time-lapse video contains 5000 images captured by astronomers at International Space Station (ISS). All images are taken in 4K resolution.
Using the ESO’s Very Large Telescope in Chile, scientists have detected a new exoplanet CVSO 30c near the Orion’s Belt. The exoplanet and its host star are 1,200 light-years away from our planet.
The following video gives us the list of the 25 space objects that are visible to the naked eye. The list contains planets, constellations, and distant stars.
Using the Chandra X-ray Observatory, scientists collected data during the several years that help them make this animated video and show the evolution of the Tycho supernova remnants.
Scientists have revealed a faint blue galaxy, known as the Little Lion, that contains low levels of heavy chemicals, which helps scientists to gain better insights into what had happened after the Big Bang....
This video shows us the supermassive black hole D3 0727+49 that is illuminated by the oldest light in our Universe. Namely, scientists believe that the jet is created when our Universe was only 2.7...
The following video shows us the list of 25 most surprising things about our Universe, its objects, and other features. Among them, we can find out a lot of interesting facts about black holes,...
