NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has detected the source of carbon dioxide on the surface of Jupiter’s moon Europa, located 390.4 million miles away from Earth. The presence of essential elements like carbon on the moon’s surface was uncertain until now. Astronomers used data from the Webb Space Telescope to...
NASA’s latest lunar images, featured in National Geographic Magazine’s special space issue and created from data captured by NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera (LROC) and the ShadowCam instrument on Korea Pathfinder Lunar Orbiter (KPLO), illuminates the lunar south pole’s unprecedented beauty.
A massive solar eruption occurred on September 16 and surged forth from the sun’s fiery surface, propelling a scorching coronal mass ejection (CME) in the direction of our home planet.
NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope, the most advanced space-observing machine to date, has once again provided us with a stunning image of a young star, known as Herbig-Haro 211 (HH 211), emitting supersonic jets of matter.
NASA’s UFO research team published its independent report on Thursday, September 14th. The report has ruled out any extraterrestrial involvement in the Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) sightings, underlining the imperative for thorough scientific examination.
K2-18 b, which orbits a cool dwarf star called K2-18, has long been a subject of scientific curiosity due to its location within the habitable zone of its host star. The habitable zone, also known as the Goldilocks zone, is a region where conditions may be just right for liquid water to exist on the planet’s surface – a key ingredient for the development of life as we know it.
In an image recently captured by the Hubble Space Telescope, a globular cluster named Terzan 12 takes center stage, located 15,000 light-years away in the constellation of Sagittarius within our Milky Way galaxy.
As the Moon orbits the Earth, an observer on the Moon’s surface would have the opportunity to see different parts of Earth, including both the day and night sides, simultaneously.
Hubble Space Telescope’s Wide Field Camera 3 instrument has recently captured a radiant stellar nursery, revealing the presence of OH 339.88-1.26, a massive protostar shrouded behind dust and gas-laden clouds, situated approximately 8,900 light-years away in the Ara constellation.
The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has surprised astronomers again by sending them another mesmerizing image of a small irregular galaxy ESO 300-16, located 28.7 million light-years away in the Eridanus constellation.
As we embark on this new chapter of lunar exploration, with India’s Chandrayaan-3 poised to make its historical mark in just about 5 hours, the age-old question of alien life takes on an unprecedentedly passionate state.
Astronomers have long been fascinated by the bubbles of hot gas emanating from the center of the Milky Way galaxy, and a recent study has brought new insights into the complexity of these massive structures. The eRosita bubbles, named after the X-ray telescope that first spotted them, are enormous structures...
Prevailing theories suggest that black holes are objects so massive that nothing can escape the pull of their gravity, not even light. They form when enormous stars run out of fuel and collapse in on themselves. And, for decades, the paradox surrounding black holes is that as black holes evaporate,...
Turning to Artificial Intelligence (AI) to design mission hardware is becoming increasingly popular among NASA projects as AI-designed parts are lighter, more structurally sound, and can be designed much quicker than with traditional methods. Ryan McClelland, a research engineer at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, Maryland, has pioneered the...
AT2021fxu is a changing-look active galactic nucleus (AGN). By analyzing data from NASA’s Swift spacecraft and NICER on the International Space Station, astronomers have revealed its true nature. According to the results of the study, published on December 14 on the arXiv preprint server, deliver important insights into the nature...
