Thankfully to its convenient position, NASA’s Mars Curiosity rover has made impressive images of Martian clouds shaped by gravity waves. Namely, its position in the Gale Crater enabled the rover to captured the clouds...
Using the NASA/ ESA Hubble Space Telescope, scientists have captured the closest star formation of our planet – the Orion Nebula. They use visual and near-infrared data to get this stunning image of the...
Periodic comet 41P/Tuttle–Giacobini–Kresák is discovered in 1858 by astronomer Horace Tuttle. During the second part of March, it will travel through constellation Ursa Major to Draco. It will be closer to our planet on...
By using NASA’s Swift satellite, scientists have managed to map a star’s ‘circle of death’ for the first time. Namely, the star 13-times-size of the Sun caught in a death spiral to the black...
In this video, Trace Dominguez from DNews explains why seven newly found Earth-size exoplanets in TRAPPIST-1 are not actually habitable. He helps us understand a difference between the planets in the habitable zone and...
The following time-lapse video shows the Milky Way with a several thousand years old Baobab tree as a background. This magnificent view was captured from Ruaha National Park in Tanzania.
Using the ESO’s Very Large Space Telescope, scientists have found out that dark matter was less influential in the formation of the first galaxies in the early universe than today. On the other hand,...
The following video shows the images of four supernovas remnants that were captured by NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory. The images display remnants of Tycho’s supernova, G 292.0+1.8, 3C58 and the Crab Nebula.
Using data from NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory, scientists have made a detailed image of supernova W49B. They also assume a black hole that has appeared during the explosion is the youngest one in our...
Using data from NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory together with data obtained from the Australia Telescope Compact Array and NuSTAR telescope, scientists have detected a white dwarf star that orbits a massive black hole about...
Using NASA’s Cassini spacecraft, scientists have captured new images of Saturn’s moon Pan that resembles ravioli by its shape. The moon is located in the Encke Gap inside Saturn’s A-ring.
The Hubble Space Telescope has captured an incredibly massive and rare hybrid galaxy known as UGC 12591. The galaxy is a mix of a lenticular and a spiral galaxy. It is 400 million light-years...
The following time-lapse video shows Aurora Borealis in its beautiful dance across Iceland’s night sky. The video is created by an astrophotographer Glen Tillyard.
The following time-lapse video shows the Milky Way and Aurora Australis from New Zealand. The video is created by an amateur astrophotographer, Sam Wilson, on February 22.
NASA’s Curiosity Mars rover has sent new images that show dusty whirlwinds on Mars. These dust devils appear as a result of Sun’s heating that makes air rising.
Using the ESA’s Atacama Large Millimeter/ submillimeter Array (ALMA), scientists have found the most remote galaxy in our Universe full of gas and dust from an ancient supernova. The supernovae dated back to the...
This new ESA’s image reveals an edge-on view of the spiral galaxy NGC 1055. The galaxy is about 15 percent larger than our galaxy and lies 55 million light-years from our planets. This new...
NASA’s Cassini spacecraft has taken a new spectacular image of Saturn’s icy moon, Enceladus, from a distance of 41,000 miles or 66,000 kilometers.
