Using the Very Large Telescope, a team of astronomers has captured Eta Carinae, a binary star system and released the most detailed image. They have even managed to snap the windy area between the...
The star KIC 8462852, also known as “Tabby’s star,” still keeps scientists puzzled by its dimming effects that significantly change the star’s brightness. The weird star is located in the Cygnus constellation.
Using the Visible and Infrared Survey Telescope for Astronomy (VISTA) at ESO’s Paranal Observatory in Chile, astronomers have discovered a bunch of young stars in Messier 78 that were previously considered invisible. Infant stars...
This video contains the list of five myths about our Universe that many of us still believe.
The following video explores the evidence that shows our Solar System is located just in the middle of the Local Bubble, a cloud of gas created by supernova explosions. According to scientists, this bubble...
This video represents the simulation of a journey to Proxima Centauri, the red dwarf, and its planet, Proxima b. As the newly discovered habitable planet, it is the closest Earth-like planet that might cultivate...
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.
