Using data from NASA’s Widefield Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE), scientists have detected the most distant supermassive black hole. It is located about 13 billion light-years away from our planet and represents the earliest black...
Using data from NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory, scientists have captured an unusual object, J0045+41, in the Andromeda galaxy. It turns out that the space object is a binary system of two supermassive black holes...
Using NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory, the Wide-Field Infrared Sky Explorer Survey (WISE), and the ground-based Large Binocular Telescope in Arizona, scientists have found five pairs of supermassive black holes. This discovery enables them to...
According to a new study, scientists have discovered a new star system containing at least two binary systems with massive stars. This planetary system, called HD 64315, is settled 16000 light years away from...
Using data from the Spitzer Space Telescope, scientists have revealed that an exoplanet 55 Cancri E, better known as ‘super-Earth’ may have a similar atmosphere to Earth’s. They previously assumed that super-Earth is covered...
Crescent Moon, Venus, Jupiter, Mars and the bright star Spica will appear together in the night slightly before dawn. This event will be visible on November 14 and 15.
Using data from the Chandra X-ray Observatory, the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE), the ground-based Large Binocular Telescope in Arizona, the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) and the Mapping Nearby Galaxies at APO (MaNGA)...
Scientists have analyzed a three-year-old supernova, called iPTF14hls. Its appearance undermines all they know about death and birth of supernovas.
Using ALMA Observatory in Chile, scientists have discovered dust around our closest star, Proxima Centauri. Namely, they believe that the star might contain entire planetary system around it. The star is 4 light-years from...
Using the Next-Generation Transit Survey, scientists have discovered a huge planet orbiting a small distant star 600 light-years away from our planet. The planet is known as NGTS-1B and orbits the star at 3...
Using VLT Survey Telescope, scientists have captured an astonishing view of lenticular galaxy NGC 1316 in the Fornax Cluster. This deep view shows amazing jets that make the NGC 1316 the fourth brightest radio...
Using the Advanced Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO), astronomers have recorded a massive collision of two neutron stars 130 million light-years away from our planet. The explosion creates light, heavy elements and gravitational waves....
A team of astronomers has found a new pair of stars – HD240430 and HD 240429. One of them dubbed Kronos after the titan from the Greek mythology because the star has eaten all...
Using the Atacama Large Millimeter/ Submillimeter Array (ALMA) and ESA’s Rosetta Spacecraft, scientists have detected Freon-40, the organohalogen that might support life. The compound has been discovered around a protostar and the Comet 67P/...
