There’s a big debate among people about whether humans or robots should do space exploration. Well, humans and robots need…
Uranus has a sideways tilt together with its 27 known moons compared to the plane of the Solar System. A…
Scientists find the first large body of liquid water on Mars. It’s about 30 kilometers wide and it lies under…
Scientists have detected traces of complex organics blasting out of the depths of Saturn’s moon Enceladus. This is the best…
Astronomers from the European Space Observatory have just found the closest black hole to Earth. It lives in a triple…
The Very Large Telescope (VLT) sees a star dance around the black hole. The observations prove Albert Einstein right, again.…
An international team of scientists has discovered, for the first time, a cloudless exoplanet, WASP-96b. The sodium shines brightly here.…
Scientists at the University of Michigan found that our closest large galactic neighbor has eaten Milky Way’s long-lost sibling. It…
Powerful gravitational waves reached the Earth far away from the depths of space. It’s the heaviest black hole merger ever.…
In a recent study, using NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope, scientists mapped the supermassive halo of gas surrounding the Andromeda galaxy.…
Supergiant stars are the largest stars in the Universe. They are also the most massive, and most luminous stars in…
K-type stars are very stable for most of their lives. That’s why they may be the best stars to study…
NASA’s New Horizons probe flew past Pluto in July 2015 and found dunes. But, how can dunes form without wind?…
On November 3, 1957, a stray dog became the first Earthling to orbit our planet. Astronomers call it Laika. Laika…
Space debris is piling up around the Earth and collisions have become a hazard to spacecraft. Humans are in danger…
Scientists, using data from Cassini, have found the possible presence of fresh ice on the surface of Saturn’s moon Enceladus.…
Have you ever heard about stars packed inside the shell of another, larger star? Thorne-Żytkow objects are stars within stars.…
Scientists have just found hints of life on Venus. They have detected phosphine, a rare molecule that is a sign…

A team of astrophysicists has just demonstrated that the dust particles in space contain ice. The interstellar medium—matter between the stars in a galaxy—consists of gas and dust. These particles…
Scientists, using data from Cassini, have found the possible presence of fresh ice on the surface of Saturn’s moon Enceladus. Using Cassini data scientists created detailed images of Enceladus and…
Have you ever heard about stars packed inside the shell of another, larger star? Thorne-Żytkow objects are stars within stars. When a dying star swallows a smaller, dead star, astronomers…
Scientists have just found hints of life on Venus. They have detected phosphine, a rare molecule that is a sign of microbial life. Have we just found life on Venus?…
Powerful gravitational waves reached the Earth far away from the depths of space. It’s the heaviest black hole merger ever. Gravitational waves coming from a black hole merger far away…
In a recent study, using NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope, scientists mapped the supermassive halo of gas surrounding the Andromeda galaxy. According to Hubble’s observations, galactic halos are more massive and…
