This detection of an intergalactic radio source of unknown origin, through a careful search in archival data and its subsequent follow-up activities, is a clear demonstration that the exploration of the radio sky is still rich of discoveries.
Existence of a galaxy without dark matter has been debated over decades. This is the first time that a galaxy without dark matter has been found.
A meteor can enter our atmosphere at speeds ranging from 11 miles per second to 24 miles per second (19 km/s to 39 km/s). When a meteor enters our atmosphere, it becomes a meteorite when it hits the ground.
While Ingenuity Mars Helicopter is currently preparing for its 29th flight, its black-and-white navigation camera has provided dramatic video of its record-breaking 25th flight, which took place on April 8. Covering a distance of 2,310 feet (704 meters) at a speed of 12 mph (5.5 meters per second), it was...
Today, scientists have already developed ways of finding the age of something. There are a lot of different approaches to estimating the age of something, but for animals and plants, most scientists use radiocarbon dating. It’s a technique used by scientists to measure the amount of radioactive carbon-14 present in...
Black holes are the key to understanding how all the universe works. Without them, we would have no understanding of what is happening in space or what will happen when we travel through it. Also, black holes are key to how we understand the Big Bang Theory. There are no...
According to NASA, the lunar eclipse of 15 May, 2022 can be observed from the eastern half of the United States and all of South America will have the opportunity to see every stage of the lunar eclipse, which will begin over North America at 10:27 p.m. EDT on May 15 (2:27 UTC on May 16).
Wonderfully pleasurable! Scientists have grown plants in lunar soil for the first time. Finding plants sprout in the Moon soil is an important step towards making long-term stays on the moon possible.
An international team called the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) collaboration has produced the image of the center of our galaxy for the first time. This is the gargantuan black hole, known as Sagittarius A*, four million times the mass of our Sun, lives at the centre of our galaxy. What...
This challenge is seeking innovators who can take on NASA’s Mars XR proposal and create new assets and scenarios for the new environment for testing, training, and research.
The idea that there are an infinite number of parallel timelines is difficult to wrap our heads around, however, many physicists are warming up to the idea that this could be a legitimate theory.
‘Black widow’ binary star is a system where a large dead star is orbited by a much smaller companion star. The closer the companion approaches, the brighter it shines, until it finally crashes onto the surface of its partner.
A secret memo released by the US Space Command now confirms another object from another star system visited the Earth three years before Oumuamua in 2014. According to the memo, the object ignited into a fireball over Papua New Guinea and sprinkled interstellar debris into the South Pacific Ocean. The...
According to astronomers, the galaxy will eventually become an extremely bright quasar once the dust is gone.
In other words, our existence is guided by an unseen force as much as it’s driven by what our senses perceive – which make these fields just as important in the way we think and behave as matter.
