Amateur astronomers may soon be able to see a comet that was initially spotted back in 2017. Artist's Impression of a comet passing through our solar system Comet C/2017 K2 (PANSTARRS), abbreviated as K2 for short, was once the most distant active…
Black holes are the cosmic gluttons, consuming anything that approaches too closely, even light. Now, a team of worldwide researchers has identified a supermassive black hole that devours the mass of one Earth every second. By observing other light ob…
This week, the Earth will be able to see a rare alignment of five planets. Since December 2004, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn are aligning in this sequence for the first time. Friday, June 24 will be the best day to see the event. Accordi…
A massive sunspot that has doubled in size in less than 24 hours is currently facing Earth, which means it is expected to unleash a solar flare in our direction. Sunspots are dark regions on the sun's surface that are accompanied by powerful radia…
During the whole month of June, the Earth's skies will host a heavenly homecoming. From June 17 to June 27, skywatchers will have the rare opportunity to observe all the main planets in our solar system clustered together, along with the moon. Mer…
Between Mars and Jupiter lies an incredibly rare metallic asteroid that is worth more than the entire world economy. The Hubble Space Telescope has now provided us with a closer look at the object, which is estimated to be worth $10 quadrillion dollar…
There is trash around 35,700 feet under the surface of the ocean. Now, there's also trash on Mars. NASA's Perseverance rover recently detected landing debris stuck in a jagged rock while searching for signs of previous microbial life on Mars. …
China claimed that its massive Sky Eye telescope may have detected signals of extraterrestrial civilizations, according to a report by the state-backed Science and Technology Daily, which promptly removed the piece and related postings. The repor…
On Monday, June 13, a three-hour-long solar flare erupted from the Sun, releasing a tremendous quantity of charged particles in the form of solar radiation. As a consequence, it is expected that a geomagnetic storm and a radio blackout will hit t…
Astronomers discovered a black hole concealed inside a huge star cluster, B023-G078, in the Andromeda galaxy, our nearest neighboring galaxy. With a mass of one hundred thousand solar masses, this black hole is smaller than any other black hole …
Imagine a beam of energy that traverses the cosmos and vaporizes everything in its path. Although it may seem a little like science fiction, these energy beams are genuine and offer a serious, if remote, threat. These beams, known as gamma-ray bu…
The Hubble Space Telescope seems to be improving with age. How else can you explain the fact that it reveals knowledge that has been kept hidden even in the present day? The space observatory, which just completed 32 years in orbit, has attained…
As part of a new drive toward high-risk, high-impact research, NASA is officially launching a UFO investigation. The space agency announced the establishment of an independent committee to determine how much information is publicly accessible on …
A newly identified source of recurring fast radio bursts has added to the enigma surrounding the origin of these intense outbursts. The source, identified as FRB 190520B and spotted for the first time in 2019, appears to frequently emit milliseco…
In 1964, physicists Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson were working at Bell Labs in Holmdel, New Jersey, setting up ultra-sensitive microwave receivers for radio astronomy observations. No matter what the two did, they couldn't rid the receivers …
In 10,000 years, according to a new research, two supermassive black holes will collide, sending ripples across the cosmos. A team of astronomers from the California Institute of Technology discovered that two supermassive black holes around 9 bi…
Micrometeoroid hits are an unavoidable aspect of spacecraft operation, with spacecraft frequently sustaining many collisions throughout the course of lengthy and fruitful scientific missions. NASA's James Webb Space Telescope experienced a c…
NASA has discovered an ominous-looking void in Jupiter's clouds but cannot explain why the 'abyss' has emerged. The Juno spacecraft saw the unusual black spot as it orbited the enormous gas giant Jupiter. It seems to be located in the…
Radio signals from a faraway galaxy containing a black hole at its core were detected by a Japanese astronomy team. This finding is unusual because of difficulties with telescoping technology. The anomaly, designated 3C273, is a quasar near the h…
There is a "dark object" in our galaxy that is creating gigantic holes. It is invisible, and it may not be composed of conventional matter. It may be something that astronomers have never before identified. And despite the fact that we cann…
Recent research reveals that scientists have shed light on a long-standing conundrum about ancient supermassive black holes and the galaxies they inhabit by observing very bright objects that existed 500 million to one billion years after the Big Bang…
