Since we began modern sky-watching with more advanced telescopes and binoculars, we have witnessed a dozen of comets fly over Earth’s sky. However, a once-in-50,000-years comet is heading in our direction. Astronomers revealed that in the coming weeks, this unique comet will make a close flyby to the Earth. So, when will this astronomical event
While we live our everyday life in the space of three dimensions, some scientists anticipate researching hypothetical particles that may serve as a gateway to a warped fifth-dimensional space. The researchers visualize this fifth dimension as a region that mediates the cosmic realms of light and dark. While you may be thinking that passing through
Are we sharing our home galaxy with other malicious alien civilizations? The Milky Way Galaxy is one of the spiral galaxies that houses billions of stars, planets, black holes, moons, asteroids, and other cosmic objects. It spread across 25,000 light years in diameter to accommodate its billions of cosmic objects. Astronomers have conducted several telescopic
The Kuiper belt is one of the most unique regions in the solar system housing hundreds of thousands of icy bodies larger than 100 km and trillions of comets. Astronomers estimate that over 200 dwarf planets exist in the Kuiper belt. One of these dwarf planets is the Makemake (pronounced as MAH-kay MAH-kay), which is
Since we commenced with a robotic exploration of Mars in the mid-20th century, Scientists have always wondered if there is life on Mars. To answer this question, space agencies have continued to launch rovers, landers, and orbiters to explore the red planet in search of microbial lifeforms. But is there life on Mars? In a
