NASA recently lost communication contact with its Voyager 1 probe. Scientists reveal that the Interstellar spacecraft is unable to send any scientific system back to Earth because of a glitch. The probe which has been drifting away from us since 1977 is still capable of receiving commands. However, the probe’s computers seem to be the […]
Astrophysicists have been making several suggestions on how humans can take advantage of blackholes in the future. Since the gravitational pull from black holes is so powerful that nothing can escape its horizon, scientists are beginning to explore the idea of harnessing excess amounts of energy from blackholes. A newly published study proposes two different

On Friday, Dec. 8, Halley’s Comet will commence with its 38-year journey to Earth. The popular space rock orbits the sun following a flattened elliptical orbit that drives it near to our star before taking it far away beyond the outer limits of our solar system. Astronomers revealed that Halley’s Comet arrived at perihelion on

Astronomers recently discovered one of the building blocks of life in our Milky Way Galaxy. The researchers used two radio telescopes to detect the key life ingredient, phosphorous on the edge of the Milky Way. The team revealed that the discovered phosphorous plays a vital role in the creation of DNA and RNA in living organisms.
