According to astrophysicists from the US, planet nine could trigger a mass extinction on Earth by producing comet showers. They have found further evidence to prove a 30-year-old theory published by Dr. Daniel Whitmire,...
This video contains the top 10 interesting facts about the Milky Way that make this galaxy really fascinating.
Scientists have found that Jupiter has bright ‘Northern Lights’ that appear as a result of its solar storms. The discovery of Jupiter’s X-ray aurora is published in the Journal of Geophysical Research “Space Physics”.
After the January announcement about the mysterious ninth planet, astronomers have found a new evidence that supports its existence. Namely, the mysterious planet is 10 times the size of the Earth and resembles Uranus...
This video gives us a short review of the morning and evening planets, visible constellations, and other highlights of the April sky. The month begins with Jupiter that rises in the southeastern night sky....

Using the ESO’s VLT Survey Telescope, astronomers have captured the vivid image of the small, secluded galaxy known as Wolf-Lundmark-Melotte. The galaxy is located in the Cetus constellation and is 3.1 million light-years away...
The following video contains all important information that the Dawn spacecraft has gathered about the alien world of Ceres. The large, bright spots on Ceres are the greatest mystery of the dwarf planet that...
Using NASA’s Kepler Space Telescope, scientists have captured a supernova that radiates the shock wave during its collapse. It is for the first time that they have managed to snap the explosion with visible...
NASA’s Kepler space telescope is trying to discover the Earth-like planet measuring its orbit and distance from the star. However, scientists from the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) are looking for Earth-like ingredients to...
This time-lapse video shows us the images that portray miraculous Aurora Borealis captured from Fairbanks, Alaska. The photographies were taken by an astrophotographer Miranda Schultz on March 11th this year.
This time-lapse video contains photographies of star trails that are created from images taken from the International Space Station (ISS). All the images were captured during the Expeditions 30 and 31.
Using the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope and its Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3), astronomers have detected nine extremely massive stars in the star cluster R136. The monster stars are ten times the mass of...
The Comet 252P/LINEAR will make a close approach to Earth on March 21/22nd. It will be one of the closest flyby of the comet ever. Namely, the comet will make its closest approach in...
