Scientists from the University of Hawaii’s Institute for Astronomy confirmed the existence of the vast, cold spot in our Universe, which density of galaxies is significantly lower than in the other parts of space....
The Eta Aquarids will appear from the constellation Aquarius on May 5, 6, and 7th. This meteor shower will be visible from both hemispheres, but it can be better observed from the southern hemisphere....
On its 9-year-old journey to the unexplored world of Pluto, NASA’s New Horizons captured the first color photo of this planet. The image of Pluto and its moon, Charon, is taken on April 9,...
By using several telescopes, as well as NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory, astronomers have found evidence that a white dwarf star destroyed its closest planet. White dwarf star, scientists called the star, which burned up...
This time-lapse video shows all the beauty of our night sky and the bright view of our galaxy in 4K resolution.
The Alpha Centauri system is the closest star system to ours, which is 4.37 light-years away from the Sun. But, can we really imagine what these 4.37 light years mean? This video helps us...
NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope was launched on April 24th, 1990. Today, NASA and ESA are celebrating its 25th anniversary with the new release of Westerlund 2, a huge cluster of approximately 3,000 stars. It...
Are comets responsible to bring water to the Earth? In this video, scientists from the Rosetta Mission try answering this question.
Today, planet Earth celebrates the 45th anniversary, and this video represents an homage to it. We can enjoy these amazing images taken by NASA.
When one star dies, it makes a space for a new swarm of young stars. That affects not only the Milky Way, but also other galaxies. The biggest scientists throughout the centuries were baffled...
From 2005, NASA’s astronomers have tracked the signs of many explosions happened on the Moon. They have witnessed the brightest meteor explosion have taken place on March 17th, 2013. Even the blast was brief,...
NASA’s Dawn Spacecraft captured a few images of Ceres’ north pole on April 10th. These high-resolution images are taken from a distance of 33.000 kilometers.
This video is the first one of the series that explains ten images captured by the Hubble telescope. The goal of the series is to cover top 100 Hubble Space Telescope images. In this...
Massive black holes usually lie at the centers of galaxies. Galaxies that have not a black hole at their center rotate around quasars. By using ALMA telescopes from Chile, Swedish scientists went deeper into...
Astrophotographer Alex Rivest has captured this time-lapse video in June 2013. The astonishing view of the Milky Way from the peak of Mount Everest was possible to observe, thanks to a clear sky and...
NASA’s Spitzer Space Telescope discovered a new gas planet, the most distant planet we know. Spitzer telescope together with ground telescopes uses a specific technique called microlens parallax technique in order to determine the...
NASA’s Dawn spacecraft captured two spots on dwarf planet Ceres from a distance of 45.000 km. These new infrared images, released at a meeting of the European Geosciences Union, reveal the two bright spots...
Astronomers expect that the comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko will reach its peak position on the summer sky, on August 13th, this year. This will cause the appearance of the coma since the comet’s approach to the...
