Scientists at the Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona have created a magnetostatic wormhole that connects two magnetic fields. This year, they make a tunnel between them invisible. Even though this wormhole is not time-space wormhole...
In July, NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft has captured many images of dwarf planet Pluto during its last fly-by. These images show a variety of landform on Pluto’s heart-shaped region, known as the Tombaugh Region
NASA’s Dawn Spacecraft has captured the highest resolution image of Occator Crater on Ceres and its intriguing bright spots. In this image, it is completely clear that the bright spots are, in fact, the...
This time-lapse video contains a compilation of the best images captured by an astrophotographer Mark Gee last year. He took these images from the Wellington region on the North Island of New Zealand.
Although successful, Rosetta mission caused scientists spent more than 10 years on building the spacecraft and its probe, and 1 billion euros costs. That motivates them to invent a new way for future operations...
In a recent study, a team of scientists discovered that one section of the ring behaves differently than others. By using data sent from NASA’s Cassini spacecraft during the equinox, scientists explore unusual structures...
By using NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope and Spitzer Space Telescope, scientists have discovered a galaxy that is the most distant they have detected till today. The galaxy is known as EGS8p7 and is the...
This video shows us a beautiful dance of Northern Lights in the night sky above Erinsville, Ontario, Canada.
NASA’s MAVEN (the Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution) probe examines data on Mars’ upper atmosphere that can help scientists to discover how it lost its density and made Mars the last possible place to...
This time-lapse video gives us a spectacular view of the Perseid meteor shower that reached its peak on August 13th, 2015. The compilation consists of images taken by astrophotographer Jeremy Evans at Yosemite National...
By using data from different systems of telescopes, scientists detected a “radio phoenix”, an electron cloud that radiates at radio frequencies. This phenomenon has emerged when one galaxy cluster slams into another, in this...
Strange craters that have terraced shapes have baffled scientists for years. Recently, they found a huge slab of water ice beneath the crater’s surface that occupies an area the size of Texas and California...
