Scientists recently studied the Circinus Galaxy which is one of the nearest galaxies to the Milky Way. Despite being so close to our home galactic world, astronomers kind of focused on other cosmic objects. Previous studies have enabled astronomers to discover that the Circinus Galaxy is located about 13 million light years away from Earth […]

Earlier today (Nov. 18), SpaceX launched the most powerful spaceship ever built by humans to space on a second test flight. While the liftoff was successful, the Starship rocket did not last long during the test flight. Unlike the first test flight that exploded before separation on April 20th, this test flight successfully passed the
NASA recently released a creepy image of a skull that looks like a glower from the heart of a massive volcanic pit located in Chad. The American Space Agency revealed that an unnamed astronaut took the creepy image aboard the International Space Station as the orbiting laboratory traveled above the Tibesti Massif. Tibesti Massif is
British theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking is a renowned astrophysicist who has shared different opinions about the Universe. In his 2010 book titled “The Grand Design,” Hawking explains that God did not create the Universe as the Big Bang was the inevitable consequence of the laws of physics. The Grand Design was co-written with American physicist

While the entire world was preparing for the Halloween celebration on Oct. 31, 2015, the Halloween asteroid made its closest approach to our home planet. Astronomers marvel at the visit made by a creepy-looking asteroid. During that approach, the asteroid came about 300,000 miles from Earth. Scientists estimated this distance to be about 1.3 times
NASA announced the discovery of the Jack-o’-lantern Nebula with a spooky image on Halloween’s day a few years back. The American Space Agency revealed that this is one of the rarest kinds of nebulae it has ever discovered in space. Jack-o’-lantern Nebula is a cloud of gas and dust created by a massive O-type star.

Antarctica, which is the coldest continent on our planet is losing its ice. Since this region is the world’s freezer, scientists are worried about the impact Antarctic ice melting will have on Earth. A team led by Cornell University researchers recently published a study suggesting the role of crevasses in the icy continent. Scientists discovered

Ever since astronomers began to observe the cosmos with modern sophisticated telescopes, they have never spotted infrared aurora on Uranus. However, scientists recently studied the archived data obtained from the giant Keck II telescope on Mauna Kea in Hawaii to confirm the existence of infrared aurora on Uranus for the first time. Auroras on Uranus

On Wednesday, (Oct. 25), two Russian Cosmonauts conducted a spacewalk outside the International Space Station to get an up-close view of a coolant leakage that was first spotted flowing from an external radiator earlier this month. While conducting the spacewalk, Cosmonaut Oleg Kononenko moved extremely close to the growing “droplet” or “blob” as scientists described the
Astronomers just received short and rapid bursts of radio waves which traveled billions of light years from distant galaxies to arrive on Earth. The fast radio burst emitted in one millisecond the same amount of energy as the Sun generates over several weeks. Scientists were amazed by this discovery as they had never seen anything
